• The S-VIDEO/COMPONENT VIDEO PROGRESSIVE scan switch might be in the wrong position.
It should be in the S-VIDEO position if you connected the DVD Player to the TV using the
S-Video jacks or the composite video (yellow) jacks. If you used the Component Jacks (Y, Pb,
Pr), set the switch to the COMPONENT VIDEO/PROGRESSIVE SCAN setting.
No sound or distorted sound
• Make sure your player is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into
the appropriate jacks.
• You may need to readjust the Digital Output setting (from the Sound menu — page 33. If
you selected DTS and your DVD player isn’t connected to a DTS decoder or receiver, either
you won’t hear any audio or it will be distorted. Also, if you’ve connected a DTS receiver or
decoder and chose the correct setting in the Digital Output menu, but the disc doesn’t
support the DTS audio format you won’t hear any audio or you’ll hear distorted audio.
• Turn your TV to its Video Input Channel (go to page 41).
• Sound is muted when you’re using search features (fast forward, reverse, frame advance,
etc.).
• If you connected an audio receiver to your DVD Player, make sure you chose the correct
input setting on the receiver.
Remote control won’t work
• You might be in the wrong mode. To operate your DVD Player, press the DVD button on the
remote before you press any other buttons. If you’re operating the TV, press the TV button
first, etc. (this remote operates most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs, and you can program it to
operate other brands of consumer electronics components).
• Insert new batteries in the remote.
• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the DVD Player or other component. If your
DVD Player is in an entertainment cabinet, the glass doors might obstruct the remote
control from operating the DVD Player. Open the doors.
• Drain the remote’s microprocessor — remove the batteries; press and hold the 1 button for
60 seconds; replace the batteries and try the remote again. You might need to reprogram
the remote to operate other components.
Can’t advance through a movie
• You can’t advance through the opening credits and warning information that appear at the
beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to prohibit that action.
The invalid icon appears on screen
The feature or action cannot be completed at this time for one of the following reasons:
• The disc’s software restricts it.
• The disc’s software doesn’t support that feature (e.g., angles).
• The feature is not available at the moment.
• You’ve requested a title or chapter number that is out of range.
