Helpful Hints - Philips DVD962SA Owner's Manual

The DVD logo does not appear on the TV screen after you remove a Disc.
• Reset the DVD Player by switching it off, then on again.
The DVD Player does not respond to the remote control.
• Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the DVD Player.
Details are on page 8.
• Remove any obstacles between the DVD Player and the remote control.
• Inspect or replace the batteries in the remote control.
• The remote control may have accidentally been set to operate another DVD Player. Press and hold
the AUDIO DIRECT and OPEN/CLOSE buttons on the DVD Player at the same time, while turning
the power on, to reset the remote control to operate the DVD Player.
The buttons on the DVD Player or remote control do not work.
• Make sure the Audio Direct feature is turned off. Details are on page 49.
• To reset the DVD Player completely, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet for sev-
eral minutes. Then reconnect the DVD Player to power again.
The DVD Player will not select some features, such as Angles, Subtitles, or multi-lan-
guage 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 dim-
ming 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.
