Is there a way to manually enter the SSID when doing wireless networking?

Wireless access points can disable the broadcast of the service set identification (SSID).
If the SSID is not broadcasting, there is no way to manually enter the SSID information
in the player. To enter the SSID under these circumstances, enable SSID broadcasting
on the access point. You can then connect with the player, after which you can disable
the SSID on the access point.

The picture on my TV has a lot of static or “noise”

Make sure that the DVD is not dirty or flawed. For information about cleaning your
disc, see

“Caring for DVDs and other discs” on page 82

.

If the picture output from your player goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the
copy-protection signal used on some DVDs could diminish the picture quality. Try
connecting the player directly to the TV. If you still experience problems, try
connecting your player to your TV’s S-Video input.

The DVD picture does not fill the screen on my standard television.

Change the aspect ratio. For more information, see

“To set the aspect ratio:” on

page 48

.

If the picture does not change, the DVD’s aspect ratio may be fixed and cannot be
adjusted.

No sound plays while playing media through the player.

Make sure that all audio cables are securely plugged in.
