DVD Video - help with error message "please check tv system"

10-02-2005, 06:36 PM

Hi:
I have a Samsung DVD player, a couple of years old, I put in a disc
last night, watched this movie many times before, but this time
instead of playing, the screen displayed the message "please check tv
system." I took it out and put it in again a few times with the same
result. I tried various other discs and they all played fine. There
isn't anything in the manual about this message in the troubleshooting
section. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance...

For whatever reason it is having problems reading the disc, which is
leading it to think you are trying a PAL disc on an NTSC player.

Thanks for the reply, I thought of that too, even though I've played
that disc in that DVD player before, but nonetheless I put it in my
other DVD player which is configured for Region 2. Same thing.
