Notes
¡
A “prohibited icon” may appear at
the top-right on the TV screen
during operation, warning that a
prohibited operation has been
encountered by the DVD/VCR or
the disc.
¡
If a disc is dirty or has scratches, the pictures may
appear distorted and the playback operation may
stop. In such cases, clean the disc and unplug the
power cord and then plug it again before resuming
playback.
¡
With DVDs that use titles for playback program
signals, playback may start from the second title, or
it may skip these titles.
¡
During the playback of a two layered disc, pictures
may stop for a moment. This happens when the 1st
layer switches to the 2nd layer. This is not a mal-
function.

cally during timer recording or One Touch
