•  Remove batteries and hold down one or more buttons for several

minutes to drain the microprocessor inside the remote to reset it.
Reinstall batteries and try to operate the remote again.

•  Ensure that the disc is installed with the label side facing up.
•  Check the region number of the DVD.

3. The feature is not available at the moment.
4. You’ve requested a title or chapter number or search time that

is out of range.

•  Check if the disc has a Menu.

•  Some of the functions selected in the Setup Menu may not work

properly if the disc is not encoded with the corresponding function.
