Frequently Asked Questions - DV-AT4000 SANYO

How do I play a disc on the DV-AT4000?

Press the POWER switch on the main unit. Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the tray, place the disc label-side up, and close the tray. Press a disc number button (1-5) to select the disc, then press PLAY (▶). If a menu appears, use arrow buttons to select and press ENTER.

How can I resume playback from where I stopped?

For DVDs, press STOP once during playback to store the stop point. Later, press PLAY to resume from that point. Note that resume is not available for SVCD/VCD/CD. The resume point is cleared when you open the tray or turn off the unit.

How do I change the subtitle or audio language during playback?

While playing a disc, press the SUBTITLE button to cycle through available subtitle languages (or turn them off). Press AUDIO to cycle through audio languages or soundtracks. The available options depend on the disc.

How do I set parental controls?

Press MENU while stopped, go to System > Rating Level. Enter the default password 0000, then choose a level (1=children only, 8=all). To change the password, select New Password and follow the prompts. If you forget your password, enter 1397 in the restore screen to reset all settings.

Why won't my DVD play?

Common causes: The disc is upside down, dirty, or has a region code other than 1 or ALL. Check that the disc is compatible (no DVD-RAM, DVD-Audio, etc.). Ensure the TV input is set correctly. If the lens is dirty, use a lens cleaner.

Can I play MP3 or JPEG files?

Yes, the unit can play MP3 and JPEG files burned on CD-R/RW discs. Insert the disc and a menu will appear. Use arrow buttons to select folders or files. For JPEGs, press ENTER to display a still image, then you can zoom or rotate using the STEP and arrow buttons.

How do I use the component video output?

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to your TV. If your TV supports progressive scan, set the rear switch to PROGRESSIVE for better image quality. Otherwise, set it to INTERLACE. Use the TV Screen setting in the menu to match your TV type (4:3 LB, 4:3 PS, or 16:9).

How do I repeat a section of a disc?

During playback, press A-B at the start point (A). Press A-B again at the end point (B). The section will repeat continuously. Press A-B a third time to cancel. For DVDs, A-B repeat works only within a title.

What should I do if the remote control stops working?

Check the batteries: ensure they are inserted correctly (polarity) and are not dead. Replace all batteries with new ones (do not mix old and new). Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote and the unit, and that the remote sensor is not exposed to strong light.

How do I clean the DVD player?

Unplug the unit. Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution, then dry with a clean cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. For the laser lens, use a commercially available lens cleaner. If condensation forms, leave the unit on without a disc for about 1 hour.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

15 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18 Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
20 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21 Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

22 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

Precautions

■ General

- Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 20" (50 cm) of free space on the top of the unit.

- Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

- Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.

• Do not place anything on top of the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.
• If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it in again. Then turn on the unit.
• In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

• Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires.
• Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
• This unit should only be used within the range of 41^ - 95^ (5°C - 35°C).

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified by this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accident, causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.

Caution:

During use the unit will get warm, do not touch warm areas of the unit for prolonged periods to avoid damage to you or the unit.

■ Care of DVD/CD discs

DVD/CD discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your DVD/CD collection and player.

• Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
• Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
• Always hold the DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

• Do not connect to a component video input jack designed for the high-vision system, which is not DVD-compatible (the images may be distorted or not appear).

What is progressive scanning?
