    DIRECTOR COLLECTION MANUAL • D60 SERIES 13. Troubleshooting If possible, it’s often good to try to isolate the problem first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player to the system to see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the tele- vision, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
