Region 1 in order to play on this DVD Player. Details are on page 7.

scratched or warped. Carefully clean the Disc. Details are on page 8.

or multi-language Audio.
• The feature may not be available on the Disc. If it is not, an "X" will appear on
the TV screen. Check the Disc case to see if the Disc has the feature. If the Disc
does not have the feature, the DVD Player can not create the feature. This is not
a malfunction of the DVD Player.
The still picture is dim or dark.
• A still picture will dim or darken if you leave it on the screen for more than five
minutes. This dimming prevents the still image from etching itself into your TV
picture tube or screen. To protect your TV, avoid leaving a still image on the
screen. This includes video games, station identification logos, etc.
