Getting Started

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD,
CD, Video CD and MP3 discs are covered
here. Further functions are detailed in
chapter 6.
1 If the player isn't already on, press
STANDBY/ON to switch it on.
If you're playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn
on your TV and make sure that it is set to the
correct video input.
2 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc
tray.
3 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if
you're loading a double-sided DVD disc, load
it with the side you want to play face down).
Press 3 (play) to start playback.

If you're playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu
may appear. See pages 31–32 for how to
navigate these.
If you're playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depend-
ing on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your player. The region number
should be printed on the disc or disc
packaging; check it against the region
number of the player (which you can
find on the rear panel). See also page
10.
If the region number is OK, it may be
that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean
the disc and look for signs of damage.
See also page 82.
• Why won't the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it's
clean and not damaged. See page 82 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won't play, it's
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM.
See page 8 for more on disc compatibil-
ity.
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
