Video CD PBC menus
Some Video CDs have menus from which you
can choose what you want to watch. These are
called PBC (Playback control) menus.
You can play a PBC Video CD without having to
navigate the PBC menu by starting playback
using a number button to select a track, rather
than the
PLAY
button.
FAQ
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
automatically after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
your player. The region number should be
printed on the disc; check it against the
region number of the player (which you can
find on the rear panel). See also
DVD-Video
regions
on page 54.
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
Taking care of your player and discs
on
page 52.
• 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 undamaged. See
Taking care of
your player and discs
on page 52 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
Disc / content
format playback compatibility
on page 8 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 player
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 player, so even if you
have
4:3 (Pan & Scan)
selected, those
discs will still be shown in letter box format.
This is not a malfunction.
