T
roubleshooting Guide
Proper function of your DVD player is mostly dependent on the discs you play. When some of the functions
indicated in the I/B do not work properly, it is highly probable that the disc is responsible. We strongly
recommend you review the instruction book before you start using the player. For your convenience, we
have enlisted some tips to help solve problems you might encounter while using the DVD player.
However, if the same problem occurs repeatedly, please contact your nearest service center.
• Check the batteries in the remote. May need replacing.
• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.
• Remove batteries and hold down one or more buttons for several minutes
to drain the microprocessor inside the remote to reset it. Reinstall batteries
and try remote again.
• Ensure that the disc is installed with the label side facing up.
• Check the region number of the DVD.
• This player cannot play CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, CD-R, etc. Insert a DVD,
a VIDEO-CD a CVD or a CD.
• 5.1 channel sound is reproduced only when the following conditions are
met. : 1)The DVD player is connected with the proper amplifier
2)The disc is recorded with 5.1 channel sound.
• Check whether the disc being played has the “Dolby 5.1 ch” mark on the
outside.
• Check if your audio system is connected and working properly.
• The features or action cannot be completed at this time because:
1) The DVD’s software restricts it.
2) The DVD’s software doesn’t support the feature (e.g., angles).
3) The feature is not available at the moment.
4) You’ve requested a title or chapter number or search time that is out of
range.
• Check if the disc has a Menu.
• Some of the functions selected in the Setup Menu may not work properly if
the disc is not encoded with the corresponding function.
• TV Aspect is fixed on your DVDs.
• Make sure you have selected the correct Digital Output in the Audio
Options Menu.
• Go to the contents and find the section of the instruction book that contains
the explanations regarding the current problem, and follow the procedure
once again.
• If the problem still cannot be solved, please contact your nearest autho-
rized service center or call 1-800-SAMSUNG.
• With the power on, press and hold the STOP and PLAY/PAUSE buttons on
the player. This resets the password feature and all other settings to the
initial factory settings. You may be required to select a menu language.
