Remember, this DVD Player
will play only certain Discs.
See page six for details.
• An “X” may appear in the top
right corner of the TV screen
when you try a feature. This
means either the feature you tried
is not available on the Disc, or the
DVD Player can not access the
feature at this time. This does not
indicate a problem with the DVD
Player.
• If a Disc is dirty or has scratches,
the pictures may appear distorted
and playback may stop. In such
cases, remove the Disc and turn
off the DVD Player. Unplug the
power cord, then reconnect it to
the power outlet. Clean the Disc,
then turn on the DVD Player
again and reinsert the Disc for
playback.
• If a Disc has multiple layers, the
picture may freeze occasionally.
This happens when the first layer
switches to the second layer. This
is not a malfunction.
