    If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the
    system, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
    problem. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest ser-
    vice center.
    No power.
    •Is the power cord firmly plugged into the power outlet?
    •One of the safety mechanisms may be operating. In this
    event, unplug the player from the power outlet briefly and
    then plug it in again.
    No picture.
    •Check that the system is connected securely.
    •The video connecting cord is damaged. Replace it with a
    new one.
    •Make sure you connect the system to video input connector
    on the TV (see page 17).
    •Make sure you turn on the TV.
    •Make sure you select the video input on the TV so that you
    can view the pictures from this system.
    The picture noise appears.
    •Clear the disc.
    •If video from this system has to go through your VCR to get
    to your TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD pro-
    grams could affect picture quality. If you still experience prob-
    lems after checking your connections, please try connect-
    ing your DVD system directly to your TV’s S-Video input, if
    your TV is equipped with this input (see page 17).
    The aspect ratio of the screen cannot be changed even
    though you set “TV DISPLAY” in the SETUP menu when
    you play a wide picture.
    •The aspect rate is fixed on your DVD disc.
    •If you connect the system with the S-Video cable, connect
    directly to the TV. Otherwise, you may not change the as-
    pect rate.
    •Depending on the TV, you may not change the aspect rate.
    There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is
    heard.
    •
    Check that the speakers and components are connected
    securely.
    •Make sure that you have selected the correct source on the
    system.
    •Press MUTE button on the remote control if the red LED on
    the front panel is blinking.
    •The protective device on the system has been activated
    because of a short circuit. Turn off the system, eliminate the
    short-circuit problem and turn on the power again.
    •The audio connecting cord is damaged. Replace it with a
    new one.
    •The system is in pause mode or in slow-motion play mode,
    or fast forward or fast reverse is performed. Press 
     to
    return to normal play mode.
    •Check the speaker settings (see page 15~17, 31~32).

    Bit rate
    Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD
    per second. The unit is Mbps (mega bit per second). 1 Mbps
    indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher
    the bit rate is, the larger the amount of data. However, this does
    not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.
    Chapter
    Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller
    than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter
    is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter
    you want.
    Dolby Digital
    This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced that Dolby
    Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output ste-
    reo sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer
    channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is
    also called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as
    0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is
    needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately
    to realize superior channel separation. Furtheremore, since all
    the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
    The name “AC-3” comes from the fact that it is the third audio
    coding method to be developed by the Dolby Laboratories Li-
    censing Corporation.
    Dolby Pro Logic Surround
    As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic
    Surround produces four channels from two-channel sound. Com-
    pared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic
    Surround reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and lo-
    calizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
    Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of rear speakers
    and a center speaker. The rear speakers output monaural sound.
    DTS
    Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater
    Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-chan-
    nel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete
    subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1
    discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel
    separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded
    discrete and processed in digital.
    MPEG AUDIO
    International standard coding system to compress audio digital
    signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-
    channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms to up to 7.1-
    channel surround.

    DVD
    A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though
    its diameter is the same as a CD.
    The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7
    GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
    Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided
    DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB,
    and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
    The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide
    standards of digital compression technology.
    The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.
    The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that
    changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the
    picture.
    The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM,
    allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.
    Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-
    angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided
    with the DVD.
    Multi-angle function
    Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene
    are recorded on some DVDs
    Multilingual function
    Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are re-
    corded on some DVDs.
    Parental Control
    A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of
    the users according to the limitation level in each country. The
    limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback
    is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced
    with other scenes and so on.
    Playback Control (PBC)
    Signals encoded on Video CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback.
    By using menu screens recorded on Video CDs with PBC func-
    tions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, pro-
    grams with search functions, and so on.
    Title
    The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a
    movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album,
    etc., for a music piece on an audio software. Each title is as-
    signed a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
    Track
    Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or Video CD.
    Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to locate
    the track you want.Video CD
    A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
    The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide
    standards of digital compression technology.
    The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original
    size. Consequently, a 12 cm Video Disc can contain up to 74
    minutes of moving pictures.
    Video CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside
    the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds
    we can hear are not compressed. Video CDs can hold 6 times
    the audio information of conventional audio CDs.
    There are 2 versions of Video CDs.
    • Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
    • Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and en-
    joy PBC functions.
    This system conforms to both versions.
