roubleshooting Guide
Proper functioning of your DVD player is mostly dependent on the discs you play. When some of the function-
ing indicated in the User’s Manual do not work properly, it is highly probable that the disc is responsible. We
strongly recommend you review the instruction book before you start using the player. For your convenience,
we have enlisted some tips to help solve problems you might encounter while using the DVD player.
However, if the same problem occurs repeatedly, please contact your nearest service center.
