• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
automatically after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your player. The region number should
be printed on the disc; check it against
the region number of the player (which
you can find on the rear panel). See also
on page 58.
If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the
disc and look for signs of damage. See
also Taking care of your player and discs on
page 54.
• 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 Taking care
of your player and discs on page 54 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 Disc / content format playback
compatibility on page 8 for more on disc
compatibility.
• I have a widescreen TV so 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.
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player
to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan
format, so why do I still get 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 letter box
format. This is not a malfunction.
• 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 (see Digital
Out on page 46), and 96kHz PCM Out to
96kHz (see 96kHz PCM Out on page 47).
