Note:
• The LCD panel is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non active pixels may appear as a fixed point of
blue, green or red. This is not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.
• Some functions are not available in specific modes, but this is not a malfunction. Read the description in this Owner's Manual for more
details on correct operations.
• Playback from a desired track and random playback are not available during program playback.
• Some functions are prohibited on some discs.
Remedy
• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. TV changes the
numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These
are the numbers used for analog broadcasts.
• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.
(Refer to "IR Signal Check" on page 44.)
• Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
• When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may
interrupt the remote control signal of this unit.
Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of
the infrared sensor or turn off the infrared communication function.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without
correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain
up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be
incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement.
The closed caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened
program.
• The cassette tape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have
been read during copying.
• The text mode is selected for caption. Select "CC1", "CC2", "CC3", "CC4" or "Off".
• Make sure the disc is compatible with the unit.
• Check the disc for finger prints/scratches and clean with a soft cloth wiping
from center to edge.
• Clean the disc.
• Ensure the disc is correctly inserted.
• Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.
• Cancel the parental lock or change the control level.
• Insert a correct disc that plays back on this unit.
• Handle a disc with special care so that it does not have fingerprints, scratches,
or dusts on its surface.
• To completely reset the unit, unplug the power cord from the power outlet for
5-10 seconds.
• Operations may not be permitted by the disc. Refer to the instructions of the
disc.
• The angle cannot be switched for DVD which do not contain multiple angles.
In some cases multiple angles are only recorded for specific scenes.
• Check the parental setting.
• Enter the default password "4737", then your forgotten password will be
cleared.
