Screen is “black”
1. Ensure that the power cord is connected and the monitor is on.
2. While pointing the remote control unit directly against the infrared
eye located in the well on the backside or the pinhole, press
“NTSC/PAL” once. Wait 2-3 seconds. Note the player must be in
playback mode, as the changes won’t take affect in menu/overview

The “output” button selects between the internal outputs (VGA, S-
