Playing discs

covered here. Further functions are detailed
in the next chapter.
03
3 Press 3 (6) to close the disc tray
and start playback.
The display shows what kind of disc you’ve
loaded.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu
may appear. See pages 27, 28 for how to
navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’
means any kind of DVD disc (DVD-Video,
DVD-Audio or DVD-R/RW).
1 Press 0 TRAY OPEN/CLOSE to switch
the system on, open the front panel door
and disc tray.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn
on your TV and make sure that it is set to the
correct video input.
2 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc.
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your player. The region number
should be printed on the disc; check it
against the region number of the player
(which you can find on the rear panel).
See also page 13.
If the region number is OK, it may be
that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean
the disc and look for signs of damage.
See also pages 79–80.
• There’s no picture!
Check that the TV is set to the video
input that you connected this system to.
For example, if you connected it to
VIDEO 1, make sure you have VIDEO 1
selected on your TV.
US model: See Troubleshooting on page
82 for possible causes.
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See pages
79–80 for information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-ROM. See page 11
for more on disc compatibility.

Getting started03
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the
player to show widescreen DVDs in pan &
scan format, so why do I still get black
bars top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display
preferences of the player, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
• Why can’t I hear DVD-Audio and SACD
audio through the digital outputs?
DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only
available through the analog outputs.
This is not a malfunction.
• My CD with MP3 tracks won’t play!
Make sure that the tracks are encoded
in MPEG1 audio layer 3 format. See also
Compressed Audio Compatibility on
page 12.
• Some MP3 tracks don’t show up. Where
are they?
Filenames that don’t end with the
extension “.mp3” won’t be recognized by
this player. Also, if there are more than
250 folders or tracks on the disc, only
the first 250 are recognized.

DVD disc menus
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs
contain menus from which you can select
what you want to watch or listen to. They
may give access to additional features, such
as subtitle and audio language selection, or
special features such as slideshows. See the
disc packaging for details.
Sometimes menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only
appear when you press DVD MENU.
• Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus

the disc packaging. See pages 66–67

Introduction
Most of the features described in this
chapter make use of on-screen displays. For
an explanation of how to navigate these, see
Using the on-screen displays on page 24.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter
apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs,
CDs and MP3 discs, although the exact
operation of some varies slightly with the
kind of disc loaded.
Some DVD discs restrict the use of some
functions (random or repeat, for example).
This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CDs, some of the
functions are not available during PBC
playback. If you want to use them, start the
disc playing using a number button to select
a track.
• To access functions printed in green on
the remote, move the slider switch from
MAIN to SUB.

2 Select what you want to play.
Depending on the type of disc you have
