• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as

excessive static electricity, strong external noise, malfunction of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during use or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not accepting an operation may occur. Press and hold B (POWER) on the Player until “ ” appears on the front panel display when the Player does not operate properly even after the power has been turned off. Then, after the a (STANDBY) indicator is lit, turn on the power.

turn off. Turn the power on again. At this point, it may take a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the BD and DVD/CD mode indicators on the front panel display of the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the indicators will finish blinking and then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD and DVD/CD mode indicators are lit.

• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory

are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must be set again.

• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug

the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the problem, contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP.

Progressive format

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Region code (page 7)

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a BD/DVD.
