O. Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
No sound or
distorted sound
Can't advance
through a movie
The icon ( )
appears on
screen
Picture is
distorted
No forward or
reverse scan
SOLUTION
Make sure your DVD is connected properly. Make sure
all cables are securely inserted into the
appropriate jacks.
You can't advance through the opening credits and
warning information that appears at the beginning
of movies because the disc is programmed to
prohibit that action.
The feature or action cannot be completed at this time
because:
1. The disc's software restricts it.
2. The disc's software doesn't support the feature
(e.g., angles)
3. The feature is not available at the moment.
4. You've requested a title or chapter number that is
out of range.
The disc might be damaged. Try another disc.
It is normal for some distortion to appear during
forward or reverse scan.
Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid
scanning or title and chapter skip.
If you try to skip through the warning information
and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won't be
able to. This part of the movie is often programmed
to prohibit skipping through it.
