DVD Problems
Disc will not eject
• When you put a disc into the player, the
player may take up to 1 minute to read
the disc and determine the disc type. You
will not be able to eject the disc during
this time. Wait 1 minute and try again.
• Turn the unit off and on and try it again.
• Try unplugging the power cord from the
DC power jack and plugging it back in.
Disc will not play
• Many problems encountered when playing
(or recording) a disc are related to the
wide variation in disc quality due to the
large number of brands and
manufacturers. We highly recommend
using discs from a reputable manufacturer.
If you encounter problems with one brand,
please try another brand.
• Insert a disc with the label side facing up.
• Check the type of disc you put into the
player. This player only plays DVD video
discs, Video CDs (VCD and SVCD), audio
CDs, and CDs with true mp3, and/or JPEG
files, or WMA files. mp3 files that have
been converted to MPX files (or similar
types of files) will not be recognized by
the unit. If you try to play an incompatible
disc type, “BAD DISC” appears on the TV.
• Both the unit and pre-recorded DVD movie
discs are coded by region. If the regional
codes do not match, the disc cannot be
played. This unit is Region No. 1 for North
America. Region coding is not applicable
to discs you use to record.
• If you are playing a Multisession CD, you
might not have closed the session before
ejecting it from your computer. Close the
session and try the disc again.
• If you are trying to play a DVD±R/RW disc
you recorded in this unit in another DVD
player, the DVD player may not support
DVD±R/RW discs. Also, if it is a DVD±R disc,
make sure you finalize it.
• DVD-RAM and CD-RAM discs cannot be
played on this unit.
• If the disc appears to be playing but you
do not see a picture, make sure the TV is
tuned to the correct Video Input Channel
for how you connected it to the unit.
• If you are trying to play a disc that was
recorded on a PC, it must have been
