DISC ERROR
This DVD player has built-in error compensation circuits to correct minor defects in a disc.
There are limits, however, to the amount of correction available. In some cases, the DVD player
may skip some tracks, or parts of tracks, on a disc during disc play. This problem may be
caused by defects (such as scratches) on the disc being played which are too large for the
error compensation circuits to handle. If you encounter this problem, try a new disc before
having this unit serviced. If the DVD player operates normally, the skipping problem is probably
due to a defective disc.
Note: Only the above types of discs can be played on this unit. Some CD-R, CD-RW discs cannot be
played depending on the condition of the disc.
