T+A Elektroakustik K 6 - Manual (Page 56)

Appendix 56
Problem: When playing an NTSC-DVD the on-
screen menu is distorted.
Cause: The TV set does not feature automatic
format detection for NTSC, and has
been set manually to NTSC. The K6's
on-screen menus are only generated in
PAL format, so this operation is not
possible.
Remedy: Use a TV set with automatic PAL /
NTSC format switching, or use the K6's
integral screen.
Problem: No OSD menus (screen stays dark
when a menu is called up)
Cause: The TV set has no automatic RGB /
CVBS switching, and is configured for
RGB.
Remedy: Set the TV set to CVBS mode (see also
'Adjustments at the TV set').
Problem: OSD menu black / white only
Cause: The TV set has no automatic S-Video /
CVBS switching, and is configured for
S-Video.
Remedy: Set the TV set to CVBS mode (see also
'Adjustments at the TV set').
Problem: Picture from an external source de-
vice correct, but no sound audible
through the K6.
Cause 1: No sound connection between source
device and K6.
Remedy: Complete the sound connection (ana-
logue or digital depending on mode);
see section entitled 'Setting up, using
the K6 for the first time'.
Cause 2: No sound input, or the wrong sound
input, has been assigned to the video
input in the 'Inputs Menu'.
Remedy: Check the sound input to which the
source device is connected. Call up the
'Inputs Menu' and carry out the correct
assignment.
Cause 3: The loudspeakers are switched off.
Remedy: Switch on the speakers using the

   button.
Problems in DVD / CD mode:
Problem: The disc does not play after the
drawer is closed.
Cause 1: Disc not correctly inserted.
Remedy: Insert disc centrally, printed face up.
Cause 2: Disc dirty.
Remedy: Carefully wipe disc with a soft cloth,
working from the center to the edge.
Insert and try again.
Cause 3: Disc damaged in Table of Contents
area (TOC).
Remedy: Disc is unusable.
Cause 4: Device has cooled down severely (e.g.
after being transported), and conden-
sation has formed on the laser pick-up
optics.

lated place for about 1 hour to warm up.
Problem: Disc stops playing or 'skips'.
Cause: Disc is dirty or damaged.

repaired.
Problem: Black / white or distorted image
when playing a DVD or VCD.
Cause: The TV set is not set to the same video
norm (PAL / NTSC) as the disc, or
cannot process its video norm.
Remedy: Use a multi-norm TV set. These units
switch to the current video norm auto-
matically, or can be switched manually.
Problem: Distorted picture.
Cause: The disc is soiled, e.g. by finger marks.
Remedy: Clean disc with a soft cloth, wiping in
straight lines from center to edge.

tion of a further disc.
