monitor settings are incorrect.
• The TV Screen setting is incorrect. Set the TV Screen option to match the
TV/monitor you're using (see Video Output settings on page 29).
• Due to the player's copy protection circuits, connection of this device
through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or cause picture
problems. This is not a malfunction.
• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs
include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back,
stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the picture depending on the TV.
This is not a malfunction.
• Discs respond differently to particular player functions. This may result in
the screen becoming black for a brief instant or shaking slightly when the
function is executed. These problems are largely due to differences between
discs and disc content and are not malfunctions of this player.
• DVDs and CDs use different recording methods. This is not a malfunction.
Remedy
• Make sure that the CD-ROM was recorded using the ISO 9660 disc format. See Disc /
content format playback compatibility on page 34 for other disc compatibility information.
• The files on the disc must be named with the correct file extension: .mp3 for MP3 files;
.wma for WMA files; .jpg for JPEG files (upper or lower-case is OK). See Disc / content
format playback compatibility on page 34 for other disc compatibility information.
• The files were recorded using DRM (digital rights management). This is not a
malfunction.
