Problem Remedy
The disc won’t play or is automatically
ejected after loading. • Make sure the disc is free from dirt and dust and is not damaged (see Taking care of your player and
discs on page 44).
• Make sure the disc is loaded with the label side face-up and aligned properly in the disc tray guide.
• Incompatible region: If the region on a BD-ROM or DVD-Video disc does not match the region on the
player, the disc cannot be used (see BD-ROM regions and DVD-Video regions on page 8).
• Condensation inside the player: Allow time for condensation to evaporate. Avoid using the player
near an air-conditioning unit.
• Make sure the disc is compatible with this player (see Disc/content format playback compatibility on
page 6).
Picture freezes and the front panel and
remote control buttons stop working. • Press  (stop), then start playback again ((play)).

equipment.
• Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in the picture disappearing. In this case,
press OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears (see Changing the output video
resolution on page 12).
• Some BD-ROM discs output video only over HDMI.
The video output is set to 720p/1080i/
1080p, but the actual output is 576i/480i or
576p/480p. • For copy-protection purposes, DVD-Video and some BD-ROM discs output 576i/480i or 576p/480p
over the component output.
Screen is stretched or aspect does not
change. • The TV Aspect Ratio or 4:3 Video Out setting in the Initial Settings menu is incorrect. See TV Aspect
Ratio and 4:3 Video Out on page 39 for how to set these correctly for your TV/monitor.
• When Output Video Resolution is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p, video is output in 16:9 Widescreen
format even if TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard).
Picture disturbance during playback or
dark image. • This player is compatible with Macrovision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention
signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the
picture depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.
• Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connection of this device through a VCR or an AV
selector may cause picture problems. This is not a malfunction.
No audio, or audio is distorted. • No audio is output during slow motion playback or when scanning contents.
• Check your amplifier/receiver’s settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.).

and discs on page 44).
• Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.
• Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the
cable for damage.
• Make sure the player’s output is not connected to the amplifier’s phono (turntable) inputs.
• Check the Audio Output Mode on page 41. If this is set to 5.1 Channel, output from the
AUDIO OUT
(2ch) jacks will be incorrect.
• Check the Speaker Setup on page 43.
• For copy-protection purposes, some BD-ROM discs only output audio over optical/coaxial and HDMI.
• When Audio CDs containing text files or such data are played back, sound is muted.
The analog audio is OK, but there appears
to be no optical/coaxial digital audio
signal. • Check that the Dolby Digital Out and DTS Out settings (see Audio Out on page 40) are suitable for
your amplifier/receiver — check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver (also
check that the output settings on your amplifier/receiver are correct).
