3 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if
you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load
it with the side you want to play face down).
4 Press
(play) to start playback.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super
VCD, a menu may appear. See
DVD disc
menus
on
page 32
and
Video CD/Super VCD
PBC menus
on
page 33
for more on how to
navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts,
depending on the complexity of the file struc-
ture on the disc.
If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing
JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See
Viewing
JPEG discs
on
page 47
for more on playing
these discs.
• See also
PhotoViewer
on
page 66
if the
disc contains both MP3 audio files and
JPEG picture files (by default, you will not
be able to play the MP3 files).
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally 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 74
.
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 70
.
• 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 70
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-ROM. See
Disc /
content format playback compatibility
on
page 10
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 prefer-
ences 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.
