NOTE

If the TV/DVD does not operate properly:

Static electricity, etc., may affect the player’s operation. Disconnect the AC power cord once, then connect it again.

If a disc is inserted during some modes other than DVD mode, it may switch to DVD mode and then playback may be begun automatically.

About inserting disc:

If the unit is slanted or moved while inserting disc, the disc may get damage.

If a non-compatible disc is loaded, “Incorrect Disc”, “Region Code Error” or “Parental Error” will appear on the TV screen according to the type of loaded disc. If these appear, check your disc again (see pages 6 and 33).

Some discs may take a minute or so to start playback.

When an 8 cm disc is placed into the disc slot, and the playback picture or menu display does not appear, press PLAY.

A “Prohibition” symbol “” may appear at the upper right of the screen. This symbol means either the feature you tried is not available on the disc, or the TV/DVD cannot access the feature at this time. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/DVD.

When you set a single-faced disc label downwards (i.e. the wrong way up) “Reading” will appear on the display and then “Incorrect Disc” will be displayed.

Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this TV/DVD plays DVDs according to the disc content recorded, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.

Do not move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

Use EJECT to unload and eject the disc.

Do not put any objects other than discs on the disc slot. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.

In many instances, a menu screen will appear after playback of a movie is completed. Prolonged display of an on-screen menu may damage your television set, permanently etching that image onto its screen. To avoid this, be sure to press POWER on your remote control once the movie is completed.

There may be a slight delay between the button is pressed and the function activates.
