Why won’t my disc play?
There are several possible causes:
• Make sure there is a disc in the disc tray.
• Insert the disc correctly with the playback side facing front in the disc tray.
• Clean the disc.
• Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a sudden change
in temperature. Wait about an hour for it to clear and try again.
• Check the back of the DVD box to see if it states that the DVD is for PC
DVDs. Not all DVD players can play PC DVDs. There are some DVDs that
can read CD-X formats as well as CD-R and CD Extra.
Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as heart or star-shaped discs, as
they may cause the DVD player to malfunction.
Do not stick paper, tape or glue on the disc.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do not touch the surface of disc. Handle the disc by its edge.
Clean the disc by wiping the disc from the center out with a clean cloth.
Refer to any instructions supplied with the discs for additional features.
The number of languages available depends upon the disc. This function

Press MENU to activate the main menu.
What is region encoding?
DVD players are designed to play movies coded by regions and will only play
movies coded to their particular region. The list below shows the movie regions
by number. This coding is used because a movie may be released on DVD before
it is available in theaters in some countries.
Region 1: Canada, United States and Territories
Region 2: Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
Region 3: Southeast Asia
Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Central and South America
Region 5: Africa, Russia and rest of Asia
Region 6: China
Can I play MP3 or picture discs?
Yes, you can play DVDs, MP3 discs, and many picture discs.
What if  Appears?
The feature or action cannot be completed because:
• The disc’s software restricts it.
• The disc’s software does not support that feature (for example: angles).
• The feature is not available at the moment.
• You have requested a title or chapter that is out of range.
Why won’t the player turn on?
• Check that the AC power cord is connected.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
DVD player’s DC 12V jack. The supplied AC adapter meets these
specifications.
Do not leave the adapter plugged into the AC outlet or connected
to the DVD player when you are not using it.
The adapter might become warm after extended periods of use.
CAUTION!

18
Why is there no picture or the picture jumps?
There are several possible causes:
• Make sure that the region number of the disc matches the region number
of the player.
• Stop the DVD player and clean the disc.
• Check the disc for scratches. If there are scratches, the disc may not play.
Why is there no sound?
There are several possible causes:
• Make sure the system is not in pause mode. Press the PLAY or Enter button
to return to normal play mode.
• Check the speaker settings. Mute may be on or the volume may be low.
• If you have headphones plugged into headphone jack 1 on the DVD
player, the sound mutes. Unplug the headphones.
How do I connect to additional hardware?
You can connect the DVD player to a TV (not included):
1. Connect one end of the supplied A/V cable’s stereo plug into the DVD
player’s A/V OUTPUT jack.
2. Connect the other end to the AUDIO INPUT and VIDEO INPUT jacks
on your TV (white = left channel, red = right channel, yellow = video)
through an A/V cable with stereo phono plugs.
3. On the side of the player, select either Out or In depending on whether
you are sending output to a monitor or TV, or are receiving input from
another source such as a video game console (not included).
