Insignia NS-DS9PDVD15 Troubleshooting

Player doesn't respond to power button.

Make sure the AC adapter is plugged in firmly.

The port for the AC adapter may be dirty or dusty. You can use a clean q-tip to clean it out. Make sure it's not too fluffy and that you gently insert it into the port, then spin it around.

The sound from either the speakers or headset is distorted or inaudible

Check the volume wheel to see if it's turned up all the way. Lowering it may reduce distortion.

If the player overheats, it may not work properly. Let it cool down for about 30 minutes then try again.

Make sure all audio cables/cords are plugged in all the way.

The headphones may be plugged in, which would prevent audio from the speakers. If you want to use them but there is still distortion, the headphones might not be plugged in fully. This could cause the audio to not come through, or only come through one channel.

The speakers may be damaged and need to be replaced. Here is a guide on how to replace them.
