No sound or distorted sound
• Make sure your player is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted
into the appropriate jacks.
• You may need to readjust the Digital Output setting (from the
Sound
menu — page 31). If
you selected DTS and your DVD player isn’t connected to a DTS decoder or receiver,
either you won’t hear any audio or it will be distorted. Also, if you’ve connected a DTS
receiver or decoder and chose the correct setting in the
Digital Output
menu, but the disc
doesn’t support the DTS audio format you won’t hear any audio or you’ll hear
distorted audio.
• Turn your TV to its Video Input Channel (go to page 11).
• Sound is muted when you’re using search features (fast forward, reverse, frame advance,
etc.).
• If you connected an audio receiver to your DVD Player, make sure you chose the correct
input setting on the receiver.

• You might be in the wrong mode.To operate your DVD Player, press the
DVD

the remote before you press any other buttons. If you’re operating the TV, press the

directly to the TV and the DVD Player directly to the TV. See chapter 1 for correct setup
and connection information.
