Philips DVD501AT - Manual (Page 18)

18 Playing a Disc
• A “No Feature” symbol may
appear at the bottom right of the TV
screen. This symbol means either the
feature you tried is not available on
the Disc, or the DVD Player can not
access the feature at this time. This
does not indicate a problem with the
DVD Player.
• If a Disc is dirty or has scratches, the
pictures may appear distorted and
playback may stop. In such cases,
remove the Disc and turn off the
DVD Player. Disconnect the power
cord, then reconnect it. Clean the
Disc, then turn on the DVD Player
again and reinsert the Disc for play-
back.
• When the DVD or CD light appears
on the display panel, the Disc is
loaded completely and is ready for
playback.
