Troubleshooting

Advanced Setup | Firmware Update | Others

Before starting the procedure

Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off
or disconnecting/connecting the power cord, which is easier
than working on the connection, setting and operating
procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and
the connected device. If the problem is that the video or
audio is not output or the HDMI linked operation does not
work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may solve
it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI
cable since if wound the HDMI cable may not fit well. After
reconnecting, turn off and on the unit and the connected
device.

0 This unit contains a microPC for signal processing and

control functions. In very rare situations, severe
interference, noise from an external source, or static
electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event
that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in.

0 We are not responsible for reparations for damages

(such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings
caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record
important data, make sure that the material will be
recorded correctly.

you should stop your player for about 3 seconds and then
resume playback.

0 With some CD and LD players, you will not be able to

playback DTS material properly even though your player
is connected to a digital input on the unit. This is usually
because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g.,
output level, sampling rate, or frequency response
changed) and the unit does not recognize it as a genuine
DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

0 Playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast

forward, or fast reverse function on your player may
produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

About HDMI

Advanced Setup | Firmware Update | Others

Compatible Functions

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray
Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video
components. Until now, several separate video and audio
cables have been required to connect AV components. With
HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video,
and digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, and multichannel PCM).

HDMI CEC functionality: By connecting devices and HDMI
cables that comply with the CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) specification of the HDMI standard, a variety of
linked operation become possible between devices. You
