• If a non-compatible disc is loaded, "Incorrect Disc", "Region Code Error" or "Parental Error" will appear on the TV screen
according to the type of loaded disc. In this case, check your disc again (See pages 8 and 56).
• Some discs may take a minute or so to start playback.
• When you set a single-faced disc label downwards (ie. the wrong way up) and press the PLAY button or the OPEN/CLOSE
button on the unit, "Reading" will appear on the display for 10 seconds and then "Incorrect Disc" will continue to be displayed.
• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according
to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs.
• When playing DTS-encoded Audio CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analogue stereo outputs. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analogue stereo outputs of the DVD
player are connected to an amplification system.
• Do not move the DVD/VCR during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.
• Use the OPEN/CLOSE button to open and close the disc tray. Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may
cause the DVD/VCR to malfunction.
• Do not push up on the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause the DVD/VCR to
malfunction.
• In many instances, a menu screen will appear after playback of a movie is completed. Prolonged display of an on-screen
menu may damage your television set, permanently etching that image onto its screen. To avoid this, be sure to press the
STOP button on your remote control once the movie is completed.
• During the DVD playback if you change the operating mode from DVD to VCR, the DVD will continue to play back the disc
and stop after about 5 minutes.
• There may be a slight delay between you pressing the button and the function activating.
• The unit is capable of holding a still video image or On screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you
leave the still video image or On screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time, you risk
permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are very susceptible.
