Notes
• Noise is output if you make digital audio connections to a
receiver or amplifier that does not have a built-in decoder. Check
that the digital audio output format selected in the
Audio menu corresponds to the audio components you have
made connections to (pages 18, 40, 41).
• The TV screen size is factory set to present the wide screen
format (16:9 aspect ratio). If you have a standard TV screen (4:3
aspect ratio), this setting can be changed to match your TV
screen size in the Video 1 menu (pages 17, 42).
• Do not move the DVD Player during playback. Doing so may
damage the disc.
• Use 0 on the remote controller or DVD Player to open and close
the disc tray. Do not touch the disc tray while it is moving. Doing
so may cause the DVD Player to malfunction.
• Do not press down on the disc tray or put any objects other than
playable discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause the DVD
Player to malfunction.
• In many instances, a menu screen appears when playback of a
movie is complete. Prolonged display of an on-screen menu may
damage your television set, permanently etching that image onto
its screen. To avoid this, be sure to press 7 once the movie is
complete.
■ When an operation is prohibited
There are times when you are using the player and attempt to
perform an operation, but for some reason it cannot be
performed. When this occurs, one of the two following icons
appears on the screen.
The operation is prohibited by the player.
The operation is prohibited by the programming on the
disc.
Press £.
• The disc tray closes, and playback
begins.
• MP3 only: It may take a few seconds for
the player to locate the track on the
disc, depending on the complexity of
the file structure. During this time,
“Please wait a moment” is displayed.
• Depending on the disc, a menu may be
displayed. If a menu is displayed,
proceed to step 5.
