Cause (7)
Files are copy protected
Solution (7):
DRM and copy protected files cannot be
played back on the LinkTheater. Play only
files that do not have DRM or copy protection.
Videos are not displayed correctly
Cause (1):
Videos are recorded in a television format
other than NTSC
Solution (1):
LinkTheater plays NTSC video. Record all
videos in NTSC format for playback on the
LinkTheater.
Cause (2):
LinkTheater is connected to your television
through a VCR
Solution (2):
LinkTheater is equipped with copy protection,
so playing back videos through a VCR may
cause the video to roll or become distorted.
Connect LinkTheater directly to an input on
your TV.
Sound skips/frames dropping occur
during playback
Cause (1):
Traffic on the network is not leaving enough
bandwidth for the LinkTheater to operate
Solution (1):
If another device is communicating on the
network while LinkTheater is playing back,
the network may become congested and
skipping or dropped frames may occur. If
skipping or dropped frames occur, finish other
network tasks, then play your video files.
Cause (2):
LinkTheater is connected to an 11Mbps
wireless network
Solution (2):
If LinkTheater is connected to an 11Mbps
wireless network, playing back files above
3Mbps may lead to skipping or dropped
frames.
Cause (3):
The type of file, definition, or encoding
conditions for playback are not suited to
LinkTheater
Solution (3):
skipping or dropped frames may occur with
some files. Play files that are supported by
LinkTheater (page 2).
Cause (4):
The bitrate exceeds 8Mbps
Solution (4):
Using the procedure on page 3 to convert
video files to MPEG-2 format with a bitrate
less than 8Mbps.
When watching on a television, the
edges (perimiter) of the video are cut
and the video appears distorted
Generally, televisions display with overscan,
which cuts a small amount of the video signal
periphery when displaying the video on the
screen. The amount of periphery cut differs
depending on the television, so the edges
(perimeter section) of the video may appear
ragged, or the video may appear either
vertically or horizontally distorted. Adjust this
in your TV's image settings.
