Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD, DivX video and WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in chapter 4.

1If the player isn’t already on, switch it on. If you’re playing a disc with video, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2 Press OPEN/CLOSE to 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).

Note

1• If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air condition- er, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.

Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during the Auto MCACC setup.

2If this doesn’t work, press SHIFT+MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.

3If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
