Helpful Hints

•A “No Feature” symbol may appear at the bottom right of the TV screen. This symbol means either the feature you tried is not available on the Disc, or the DVD Player can not access the feature at this time. This does not indicate a problem with the DVD Player.

•If a Disc is dirty or has scratches, the pictures may appear distorted and playback may stop. In such cases, remove the Disc and turn off the DVD Player. Disconnect the power cord, then reconnect it. Clean the Disc, then turn on the DVD Player again and reinsert the Disc for play- back.

•When the DVD or CD light appears on the display panel, the Disc is loaded completely and is ready for playback.
