If it appears that the DVD-Video player is faulty, first consult
this checklist. It may be that something simple has been
overlooked. Under no circumstances attempt to repair the
system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty.

Look for the specific symptom(s). Then perform only the
actions listed to remedy the specific symptom(s).

plugging in another appliance.

with a soft cloth, wiping from centre to
