If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it's clean and undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 9 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 "Supported Discs" on page 7 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. · 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. 27 Playing discs Notes: · Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs, DivX Video and MP3/ WMA/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. · Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. · When playing Video CD, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. [. . . ] Copy-controlled CDs are special discs that don't conform to the audio CD standard and, therefore, may not work properly with the DV-SP305. Change the "96 kHz PCM Out" setting to "96kHz > 48kHz", or use analog connections (page 41). Change the "Digital Out" setting to "On" (page 41). On your TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver, select the input to which the DV-SP305 is connected. The audio cable is not connected properly. [. . . ]
