Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
No sound or distorted sound	Make sure the machine is connected properly.Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks.
Can't advance through a movie	You can't advance through the opening credits and warning information that appears at the beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to prohibit that action.
The icon appears on screen	The feature or action cannot be completed at this time because:1. The disc's software restricts it.2. The disc's software doesn't support the feature (e.g., angles)3. The feature is not available at the moment.4. You've requested a title or chapter number that is out of range.
Picture is distorted	The disc might be damaged. Try another disc;It is normal for some distortion to appear during forward or reverse scan.
No forward or reverse scan	Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid scanning or chapter skip;If you try to skip through the warning information and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won't be able to. This part of the movie is often programmed to prohibit skipping through it.

Owing to continuous improvement, no prior notice will be given regarding changes on above feature and spec.
