The DVD features do not work

| • | Subtitles |
| • | Multilingual audio tracks |
| • | Multiple viewing angles |
| • | Slow-motion play |
For more information about the features that are supported, see the production documentation for the affected DVD. In rare instances, certain DVDs may not operate correctly. Typically, this behavior occurs because of variations in the manufacturing process or because of software encoding of the DVD video software.

The buttons do not work
| • | Check for interference. Remove any objects that may be blocking the infrared port on the remote or on the console. This includes metallic or metallic-painted faceplates on the console. |
| • | If the infrared port on the faceplate is damaged, replace the faceplate. |
| • | Put new batteries in the remote control to determine whether the behavior is caused by weak batteries. Remove the batteries from the remote control, press each button two times, and then replace the batteries. |
