Note:
• 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 programed playback.
• Some functions are prohibited on some discs.
Remedy
• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit 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 40.)
• 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.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without cor-
recting 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 maxi-
mum 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.
• "Text" mode is selected for caption. Select "CAPTION1", "CAPTION2" or "OFF".
• Make sure the disc is compatible with the unit.
• Check the disc for ngerprints/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 can be played back on this unit.
• Handle a disc with special care so that it does not have ngerprints, 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 speci c scenes.
• Check the "PARENTAL" setting.
• Enter the default password "4737", then your forgotten password will be cleared.
