l Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See page 52
for information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM.
See page 10 for more on disc compat-
ibility.
l I have a widescreen
TVs0
why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
l I have a standard
(4:3)
TVand
set the
player to show widescreen
DVDs
in pan
d:
scan format, so why do I
stillget
black
bars top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display
preferences of the player, so even if you
have
4:3
(Pan
&
Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction,
l My AV receiver is definitely compatible
with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it
doesn’t seem to work with this
player;
What’s wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes,
some 96kHz DVD discs are
automatically downsampled to
48kHz.
This is not a malfunction, With these
kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy
high-
quality analog audio, set Digital Out to
Off (page
41),
and 96kHz PCM Out to
96kHz (page 42).
