Troubleshooting
Other
Problem
Possible causes and solutions
The TV operates incorrectly.
• Some TVs with wireless remote control capability may operate incorrectly when
using the remote control of this Player. Use such TVs away from this Player.
The Player heats up during use.
• When using this Player, the console cabinet may heat up depending on the usage
environment. This is not a malfunction.
ON/STANDBY indicator will remain
lit.
• When the AC cord is removed from the outlet, the ON/STANDBY indicator will
remain lit for a short period. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
To Reset this Player
• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as excessive static electricity,
strong external noise, malfunction of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during use
or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not accepting an operation
may occur.
POWER
Press and hold POWER on the Player until “
” appears on the front panel display
when the Player does not operate properly even after the power has been turned off. Then,
after the ON/STANDBY indicator is lit, turn on the power.
• When a reset is performed while the power is on, the Player will turn off. Turn the power on again. At this point, it may take
a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the
BD/DVD/CD mode indicator on the front panel display of the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the
indicator will finish blinking and then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD/DVD/CD mode indicator is lit.
• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must
be set again.
• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the
problem, contact the nearest service center approved by SHARP.
