Other issues
The system makes noise.
, Because some discs read at higher speeds, disc noise may be louder than normal.
, When using the system in a location where heat can build up, such as an enclosed
AV cabinet, the internal fan will rotate rapidly to reduce the system's
temperature and this may generate increased noise. Move the system to a location
with good ventilation.
You forgot your password for security settings.
, If you initialize the system using
"Restore Default Settings", your password will return to "0000". However, note
that all settings other than the password will also be reset. Once these settings are
reset, they cannot be recovered.
The system is warm.
, When the system is being used or is turned on, it may become warm. This is not
a malfunction.
The screen is frozen. The system does not operate.
, Restart the system. Touching the power button on the system front for 10 seconds
or longer will force the system to shut down. After shutdown, turn on the system
again.
The power indicator on the system front is flashing red and green
alternately.
, The interior of the system may have become too warm. This is typically due to
the operating environment. Check whether the system is being used in a warm
location. Ensure that vents are not blocked and that adequate airflow exists
around the system. Continuing to use the system in the above condition will
cause it to stop functioning. Turn the system off and leave it unused until it cools
down. After the system cools down, turn it on again.

button on the system front to stop the flashing, and then leave the system turned
off until it cools down. After it cools down, turn on the system again.

types not supported by the system will not be recognized. For information on
