1 If the player isn’t already on, press
STANDBY/ON to switch it on.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn
on your TV and make sure that it is set to the
correct video input.
2 Press 0 OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc
tray.
3 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if
you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load
it with the side you want to play face down).
4 Press 3 (play) to start playback.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu
may appear. See pages 25, 26 for how to
navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depend-
ing on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your player. The region number
should be printed on the disc; check it
against the region number of the player
(which you can find on the rear panel).
See also page 9.
If the region number is OK, it may be
that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean
the disc and look for signs of damage.
