tion.

The DVD Player will not select some features, such as Angles, Subtitles, 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 cannot create the feature. This is not a mal-
function 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 pic-
ture tube or screen. To protect your TV, avoid leaving a still image on the screen.
This includes video games, station identification logos, etc.
