Troubleshooting Common Problems
The Remote Control Does Not Function
Make sure you’re aiming the remote directly at the player’s remote sensor, located in the front display.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote and the player.
The batteries may be drained. Try changing the batteries in the remote.
You could be using the remote too far away. Try within 4 meters of the player.
There is No Picture on the TV Screen
Make sure the connections from the player to the TV are secure.
Verify that the TV’s channel is set to match the video input you’re using. Refer to the TV’s documentation.
On most TVs the “Aux In”, “Video In” or “A/V In” channel should match the video input connector.
If you’re using the S-Video connector, the TV may have a separate input channel for this type.
The DVD Player Does Not Power On
The AC Power cord may be loose or not plugged in. Make sure the power cord is secure in the AC socket and
the connector on the back of the player.
The unit may be in Standby Mode. In this case, the Standby LED to the left of the disc tray will be glowing. Turn
the player on with the remote POWER button, or turn the unit off, wait for a few seconds, then turn the unit on
with the front Power Switch.
There must be a pause between powering the unit down and back on of a few seconds.
A Specific Disc Does Not Play
The disc may be dirty. Try cleaning the disc.
Make sure the disc is not in upside-down
The region code of the disc may not match that of the player. In this case, the disc cannot be used.
The Disc Doesn’t Eject
If the player is in Standby Mode with the glowing LED to the left of the disc tray, the disc will not eject. Turn the
player on with the Remote Control and then eject the disc.
No Sound from TV or Speakers
If the DTS soundtrack is enabled in the DVD Disc Menu, but you are using Stereo Analog audio, the sound will
not work. Try switching the soundtrack to Dolby 5.1 or PCM mode in the Disc Menu.
If you are using a Digital Receiver, you must enable SPDIF in the player’s Setup Menu.
Make sure the audio cables connecting the DVD player to your TV or receiver are secure.
The movie is paused. There is no sound during Pause or Search modes.
Some Settings in the Setup Menu are Unavailable
You must completely stop playback by pressing the STOP button twice.
Distorted Picture when Connected to a VCR
This DVD Player is built with Macrovision copy-protection. This will distort the signal when used with VCRs.
Connect the player directly to the TV.
The Player Turns Off on Its Own
It is normal for your DVD player to power down into Standby Mode after about 25 minutes of inactivity to save power.
