Troubleshooting tips [Common]
Troubleshooting tips

Confirm the "Rating" settings.
Audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language is not the one selected
at the initial settings:
If the audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language does not exist on
the disc, the language selected at the initial setting will not be seen/
heard.
No subtitles:
Subtitles appear only with discs which contain them.
Alternative audio soundtrack(or subtitle) language fail to be

This function is dependent on software availability. Even if a disc has a
number of angles recorded, these angles may be recorded for specific

Troubleshooting tips [DVD]

Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simult-
aneously shot from a number of different angles(the same scene is
shot from the front, front the left side, from the right side, etc.). With
such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.

Subtitles
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures
and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorpor-
ating a new video compression technology(MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion
video to be recorded over long periods of time(for instance, a whole
movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6mm thin discs which are ad-
hered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density
at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater
capacity than a single 1.2mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are
adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into
many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video
presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen
which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on
DVD discs.
Time number
Track number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a
disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly. (It may
not work with some discs.)
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on
Cds. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.
