4 Press 3 (6) to start playback.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu
may appear. See pages 20–21 for how to
navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depend-
ing on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
• 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 page 8.
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 page 59.
• 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 59 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 6 for more on disc compatibil-
ity.
• 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 letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
