outlet is turned on.

place it in its proper position.
• Check to see that disc is CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, MP3-CD, DVD-R and
DVD-RW (standard conforming) or DVD-Movie; other types will not play.
• Use Region 1 disc only.
• Enter password to override or change rating settings (see page 18).
• Check all video connections.
• Check input selection of TV or receiver.

(see page 20).
• Check all audio connections.

times (e.g., Track Skip) or at all (e.g., direct audio track selection).
