I changed one setting there, and the next time I put the disk in it played. I stopped the disk, took it out, and set out to demonstrate that the problem was solved, but when I put it back in, it didn't play. Something, somewhere must not have shut down cleanly, and I had to log out before I could persuade it to play again. My husband did use it last night, and it behaved for him, so I'm hoping the glitch was a one-off. Anne
