If a strong light is near the unit, turn it off.

e
This unit cannot play such discs as CD-ROMs. Use a playable
disc (see page 8).

If the unit is condensed, leave the unit for one or two hours
with the power turned on (see page 6).
PROHIBIT mark “
A
” appears on the screen.
e
The operation is not permitted by the disc or the unit.

Note that during playback of a title part (cautions, software
maker’s logo, etc.), most operations are prohibited by the
disc.
e
If another operation is still in process, wait a moment and
try again.
Cannot access some setup menu items.

Although it is possible to enter the setup screen while
playback is continuing (or in resume mode), not all menu
functions will be available. Expand the number of available
functions by pressing the STOP button twice (see page 34).

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard.
e
Check that the amplifier and speakers are connected
securely.
e
Check the operation of the amplifier.
e
The required settings must be made depending on the
terminals used. Check for the correct settings (see pages 10-
14).
e

Audio
No 5.1-channel audio output.
e
Set the Analog Output setting to “Multi Channel” (see page
35).
e
Change the speaker configuration if necessary (see page

e
For digital multi-channel output, you must use a surround
amplifier, and set the Audio Digital Out settings to “Stream”
(see page 43).
e
Super Audio CD and DVD audio discs may have more than
one group or playback area, not all of which contain multi-
channel audio data. Choose another group or playback area
(see page 22).
Overall volume is low, or balance between speakers is
strange.
e
A speaker’s level (or that of a pair of speakers) has been set
up too low or too high in the speaker setup. Correct the
levels (see page 42).
e
When the unit is downmixing multi-channel audio, the
volume differs from the non-downmixed level. Use the
amplifier to adjust the volume.
e
When configuring speaker sizes, making “small” and “off”
settings on speakers other than the subwoofer can affect
the subwoofer volume. Adjust the level on the subwoofer
itself (see page 41).
No digital audio output.

Check that the Digital Out setting is set to “ON” (see page 35).
e
Some DVD-Audio discs prohibit digital audio output.

when playing DVD-Audio in multi-channel (other than Dolby
Digital or DTS).
Digital audio recording is not possible on another device.
e
Check that the Digital Out setting is set to “ON”. And the
digital output format must be set to “PCM” (see pages 35,
43). Set the Analog Output setting to “2ch” (see page 35).
