TROUBLESHOOTING
Basic troubleshooting of a DVD player is similar to troubleshooting of any other electrical or
electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes first. To give you a few
ideas of what to look for, check the following:
Remember: the most vulnerable part of a CD/DVD playing system is the disc itself. The
most likely cause of a non-playing disc is that the disc itself is faulty, scratched or simply
dirty.
If none of these actions effect a cure, please contact your dealer, or an authorised Musical Fidelity service agent.
Remember, never open the case of the DVD-1 yourself, as this will invalidate the guarantee.
