OT: DVDs working but no sound!
|
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any idea why when I put some DVDs in my machine there �s a picture but no sound?!! They �re genuine, not pirated by the way, in case you �re wondering. And the strange thing is that some DVDs when I put them in are absolutely fine. It �s driving me mad! I want to show my little one Toy Story and I can �t. Actually, there is some sound, some background music, but no sound for the dialogue. I imagine I have to go into setup and adjust something but it �s all gobbledygook to me!
Hope somebody can help. It �s driving me nuts!

Hi
Maybe it �s a question of zone : if you don �t buy your DVD in the same world zone, then you may have problems reading them at home. |

I don �t think it �s that as I always buy European zone DVDs. But thanks Chalco.

Sometimes the DVDs are bad. Otherwise you can sometimes correct the problem by changing the language choice (English mono, with/without Dolby, etc.) |

Just bring the DVD back to the shop where you bought it and make a complaint! They can either give you a new one which you can then try out at home, or they can test the one you have now with one of their own DVD players. If it works properly in that shop, there must be a problem with your DVD player at home... |

Probably because the DVDs don �t have the "Language" option. It may only be in Spanish or English and not in both.
