04 Getting started • After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds! Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video regions on page 60. 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 Taking care of your player and discs on page 57. • 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 Taking care of your player and discs on page 57 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 10 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 player 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 player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction. • My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn't seem to work with this player. What's wrong? For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96kHz DVD discs are automatically downsampled to 48kHz. This is not a malfunction. With these kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy high-quality analog audio, set Digital Out to Off (see Digital Out on page 48), and 96kHz PCM Out to 96kHz (see 96kHz PCM Out on page 49).
