If sound skips: • You may be travelling on a rough road, playing scratched discs or the disc may be dirty. Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the player. If player does not work: • The disc is inserted with the label surface downward. • The disc is dusty or defective. • The player's internal temperature is above 75°C (167°F). Allow the player to cool down before operating. • A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is inserted.
