•Multi-channel 192 kHz audio is output in 2 channels.
•Check that the Dolby Digital Out and DTS Out settings (see Audio Out on page 40) are suitable for
your amplifier/receiver — check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver.
•If you connected this player to your amplifier/receiver using the 5.1 channel analog outputs, make
sure the Audio Output Mode on page 41 and Speaker Setup on page 43 are set correctly.
•If you connected this player to your amplifier/receiver using HDMI, or the optical/coaxial digital
outputs, make sure that the output settings on your amplifier/receiver are correct (refer to the

•To use the 7.1ch setting for Dolby Digital Out, set Dolby Digital PCM.
Noise is output when DTS audio is played. •If this unit is connected to a non-DTS compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, set
DTS Out to DTSPCM. If you do not do this, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.
Cannot output 96 kHz or 192 kHz digital
audio from optical/coaxial digital output.
•The player does not output digital audio from the optical/coaxial jacks at this sampling rate. The
digital output is automatically downsampled.
Disc containing PC files won’t play. •Make sure the disc is compatible with this player (see Disc/content format playback compatibility on
page6 ).
•This player is compatible with multi-border discs, but only plays the first border.
•Check that the file complies to one of the supported formats, bit rates or profiles (see File
compatibility on page7). Also check that the file is not damaged.
•If the message Cannot play this format is displayed when you try to play PC files, check the file
formats.

Image is blurred when you begin playback
of a disc.
•Certain televisions cause blur effects when playback of a disc begins. This is not a malfunction.
Colours are not displayed properly on the
TV.
•When you have used the included video cables to connect this unit to a TV that does not support
either NTSC or PAL, some colours may not display correctly. For more information please refer to the
operating instructions of your TV, and confirm the TV system settings of this unit.
Tracks/files are repeated during random
play.
•Because tracks/files are selected entirely at random, same tracks/files may be played in quick
succession. For example, ‘Track 1’ may be followed by ‘Track 5,’ only to have ‘Track 1’ play again next.
This is not a malfunction.
SlideShows do not play. • If you have selected a single file and select Slideshow from the Photo Options menu, then only that
single file is played back. To play a Slideshow you must select All Photos from the Browse menu.
Images no longer displayed when you
change the 24p Direct Out setting to On.
•Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in the picture disappearing. In this case,
press OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears (see Changing the output video
resolution on page 12).
