Getting help
❑
If you hear sound but cannot see video, your computer's video resolution may be set too high. For best results,
change the resolution in Windows Control Panel - Display - Settings to 800 x 600 using the minimum color
settings.
❑
If you see video but cannot hear sound, check all of the following:
❑
Make sure the mute setting is off on your DVD player.
❑
Check the Master Volume settings of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties. If you have connected
speakers externally, check the volume settings of your computer speakers and check the connections between
your speakers and the computer.
❑
In the Device Manager, check that the correct drivers are installed properly. To display the Device Manager,
click Start, then Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. On the Hardware tab, click the Device
Manager button.
❑
A dirty or damaged disc may cause the computer to 'hang' while it tries to read the disc. If necessary, reboot the
computer, remove the disc and then check that it is not dirty or damaged.
✍
On your computer, the default DVD region code is 2. Do not change this setting using the Region Code Change function in Windows
applications. System malfunctions originating from the user changing the DVD region code are beyond the scope of your warranty and will result in service charges
for repair.
If you do not immediately see the Display icon after clicking Control Panel, click Switch to Classic View on the left.
