Problem Possible causes and solutions
The system cannot play a disc. Take out the disc and clean it. (Page 12)

Allow any condensation in or near the system to dry. (Page 12)
Check that the disc is recorded in the compatible TV system (PAL or NTSC).
The system cannot play back video which was not recorded normally. (Page 9)
Proper playback may be impossible due to the state of the disc recording, a
scratched, warped or dirty disc, the state of the pick-up, or compatibility issues
between this system and the disc being used. (Pages 9, 12)
When the recorded time of a disc is unusually short, playback may not be possible.
BD-RE/R discs recorded in a format other than BDMV/BDAV cannot be played

Video stops. Has the system been subjected to shock or impact? Are you using it in an unstable
location? The system will stop if it senses shock or vibration.
•
The system makes a snapping
sound when starting playback or
loading a disc.
The system may sometimes make a snapping sound when starting playback if it has
not been operated in a while. These sounds are not malfunctions of the system but
are normal operating conditions.
•
The video does not change even
when you switch the input mode
during disc playback.
If you have pressed SELECTOR to switch the input source during disc startup or
automatic disc playback, the audio output from the speakers may not match the
video on the TV. Stop disc playback, and then change the input mode.
