Frequently Asked Questions - PDVD-163C BUSH

How do I power on the Bush PDVD-163C?
Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the DVD player is set to ON. The unit can be powered via the included mains adapter (DC 9V 2A) or the car charger. If using battery, it must be charged first.
Why won't the DVD player read my disc?
Check that the disc is inserted label side up and is clean. The player supports DVDs, CDs, MP3, and JPEG. Make sure the disc is Region 2 (or compatible). If the disc is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth from center to edge.
My remote control doesn't work. What should I do?
First, check that batteries are installed correctly (coin cell) and are fresh. Ensure nothing blocks the IR sensor on the player. Try using the correct remote for this model. If problems persist, reset by removing batteries and reinserting.
How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?
Fully charged battery gives about 2.5 hours of playback. Charging time is approximately 3-4 hours. Connect the mains adapter to the DC IN 9V-12V socket; the red LED indicates charging, green when full. For best results, charge with unit off.
Why is there no sound from the DVD player?
Check volume level is not too low and mute is off (MUTE button). If using earphones, ensure they are fully plugged into the headphone jack. For external audio, verify AV cable connections and correct input on your TV/receiver.
How do I display subtitles?
Press the SUBTITLE button on the remote repeatedly during playback to cycle through available subtitle languages. Subtitles only appear if the disc contains them. You can also set default subtitle language in the SETUP menu under Preference Page.
Can I connect the DVD player to my TV?
Yes, use the AV OUT socket (3.5mm) with a 3.5mm to RCA AV converter (not included) and RCA cables. Connect to your TV's AV input. Ensure TV is set to the correct input source. The player supports both PAL and NTSC systems.
How do I mount the DVD player in my car?
Use the included headrest brackets. For removable headrests, slide the horizontal bar behind the headrest legs and reattach. For fixed headrests, separate the bar around the legs and tighten screws. Then slot the DVD unit onto the angled support until it clicks. Adjust angle and tighten bolt.
How do I clean the DVD player?
Unplug the unit. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior and screen. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. For disc cleaning, use a lint-free cloth wiping from center outward. Keep ventilation openings unblocked.
What should I do if the DVD player overheats?
Stop use immediately and unplug. Check if ventilation slots are blocked; ensure the player is on a hard, flat surface. Do not charge in confined spaces like a sofa. If overheating persists, contact customer support at 0345 604 0105.
