Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
your system. The region number should be
printed on the disc; check it against the
region number of the system (which you
can find on the rear panel). See also

DVD

Video regions

on page 69.

If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc
and look for signs of damage. See also

Using and taking care of discs

on page 69.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See

Using and

taking care of discs

on page 69 for

information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 8 for more on disc compatibility.

• I have a widescreen TV so why are there

black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and bottom of
the screen. This is not a malfunction.

• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system

to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan
format, so why do I still get black bars top
and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display
preferences of the system, so even if you
have

4:3 (Pan & Scan)

selected, those

discs will still be shown in letterbox format.
This is not a malfunction.

DVD-Video disc menus

Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from
which you can select what you want to watch.
They may give access to additional features,
such as subtitle and audio language selection,
or special features such as slideshows. See the
disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed
automatically when you start playback; others
only appear when you press
