Sound problems
No sound
• Check that the DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG
settings are suited to the specifications of the
device connected to the digital audio sockets
(coaxial).
The sound is very low or inaudible
• The sound of the TV set has been cut or set at
a very low level. Press the (MUTE/ ) key on
your TV set’s remote control and/or adjust the
volume on your TV set (or amplifier, if such is
the case).
You can’t change the camera angle
• Most DVDs do not have multiple viewing angles.
When this option is available, it usually only
applies to a few scenes.
There is no sound with the image
• Is the volume turned down? The audio codec of
your player cannot play DivX files with the
most recent codecs.
• The majority of applications on your computer
require the video and audio to be coded
separately.The two flows are mixed after
coding. More information on this can be found
using the various Internet search engines.
Playing problems
The DVD doesn’t play, even when you
press the PLAY button
• The disc rating is higher than the limit that you
have set.
Fast forward or rewind doesn’t work
• Some discs have scenes which do not allow fast
forwarding, rewinding or chapter skips.When a
command is prohibited or is not available for
the current section or operating mode, a
prohibition sign (
) appears on-screen for a
few moments.
Your DivX files won’t play
• Check that the file is actually DivX.
When you encounter problems make sure that
the file that you are trying to play actually
contains DivX video.The files often use the
term “DivX” in their filename even though they
have in fact been coded in another format.
Problems playing DivX version 5.1 and
the version 2.5 player
• With certain recent version, coding problems
may arise with DivX files which are related
directly to the capacities of your computer.The
coding may require the entire capacity of the
microprocessor and alter the quality of the
image or desynchronise the image and the
sound.
The display or reading of digital images
in JPEG format is slow
• Image display can take a fairly long time,
depending on the size of the images. If the
images are too “bulky”, your DVD recorder
may not be able to display them correctly.
Recording problems
You cannot record on the disc
• If a message is displayed on the screen, press the
EXIT key of the remote control to remove it.
• Check that you are using a DVD R/RW disc.
• Perhaps the DVD R disc is temporarily locked
or definitively locked. If it is definitively locked
you can no longer record on it. If it is locked
you can unlock it.
• You cannot record on the same disc both video
images and JPEG photos or mp3 music. Use
different DVD R/RW discs for each type of
recording.
• Dirt and finger prints may affect the recording
and playback.
Other operating problems

• Is the mains socket to which you DVD
recorder is connected receiving current? Check
the corresponding fuse in your house’s fuse box.

in your language. Check the disc jacket to see
which languages are available. Choose the

disc jacket to see whether subtitles are
available. Choose the ones you want.
