Possible causes and solutions

The volume may sound different due to differences in how the signals are 
recorded on the disc.

Disc cannot be played or disc tray 
opens automatically.

 

If the disc is dirty, wipe the dirt off the disc (page 10).

 

Set the disc with the printed side facing up.

 

Check the disc’s region number, and if the number is compatible for 
playback on the player (page 5). Only the discs with the appropriate 
region number or “ALL” can be played.
