Have a Philips DVP5990 DVD player. Some how got the settings set wrong. A big black square appears in the center of the screen making it impossible to see the screen or the Menu options. How can I clear this? Is there a master reset?
You may have probably turned on Closed Caption on your TV. Unhook the DVD player to find out if it disappears. If it disappears then Closed Caption is on on your TV. Turn off Closed Caption. If cannot find how, give me the brand and model of your TV.

THANK YOU! and all this time I thought it was a setting on the DVD player. Never thought to check the Tv settings. This fixed it immediately.

How do I play movies from an iPod through the USB connection on a Philips HDMI DVD player? When connected, I can view the iPOD menus, but cannot access any files. Is there a specific setting I need to change on the iPOD to allow access through the DVD player?
