Getting started

•Resume and Last Memory are not avail- able with DVD-Audio discs.

•The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-RW discs.

•With MP3 format discs, playback does not resume. Instead, playback begins of the first track of the folder containing the file that was playing when playback was stopped.

•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD Video regions on page 78.

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. See also Using and taking care of discs on page 78.

•Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See Using and taking care of discs on page 78 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See General disc compatibility on page 9 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the system, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

•Why can’t I hear DVD-Audio and SACD audio through the digital outputs?

DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.

•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

DVD disc menus

Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch or listen to. They may give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DVD menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU or

TOP MENU.

•Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus group. To access this group you have to input a password which you can find on the disc packaging. See page 69 for more information.
