Troubleshooting tips

Play does not commence even when title is selected:

Confirm the "Rating" settings.

Audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language is not the one selected
at the initial settings:

If the audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language does not exist on
the disc, the language selected at the initial setting will not be seen/
heard.

No subtitles:

Subtitles appear only with discs which contain them.

Alternative audio soundtrack(or subtitle) language fail to be
selected:

An alternative language is not selected with discs which do not contain
more than one language.
In the case of some discs, the alternative language cannot be selected by
operating the AUDIO or SUBTITLE button. Try selecting it from the DVD
menu if one is available.

Angle cannot be changed:

This function is dependent on software availability. Even if a disc has a
number of angles recorded, these angles may be recorded for specific
scenes only.

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simult­aneously shot from a number of different angles(the same scene is
shot from the front, front the left side, from the right side, etc.). With
such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures
and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorpor­ating a new video compression technology(MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion
video to be recorded over long periods of time(for instance, a whole
movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6mm thin discs which are ad­hered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density
at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater
capacity than a single 1.2mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are
adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
