Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the player, use this
troubleshooting guide to help remedy the
problem before requesting repairs. Should
any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Power
The power is not turned on.
, Check that the AC power cord is connected
securely.
Picture
There is no picture/picture noise appears.
, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
, The connecting cord is damaged.
, Check the connection to your TV (page 19)
and switch the input selector on your TV so
that the signal from the player appears on
the TV screen.
, The disc is dirty or flawed.
, If the picture output from your player goes
through your VCR to get to your TV or if
you are connected to a combination TV/
VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal
applied to some DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you still experience
problems even when you connect your
player directly to your TV, try connecting
your player to your TV's S VIDEO input
(page 19).
, You have set "COMPONENT OUT" in
"SCREEN SETUP" to "PROGRESSIVE"
even though your TV cannot accept the
signal in progressive format. In this case, set
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN
SELECT switch on the rear panel of the
player to INTERLACE. "COMPONENT
OUT" in "SCREEN SETUP" is
automatically set to "INTERLACE," and
reset the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/
SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.
Normally leave the switch in this position
when using the COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks.
, Even if your TV is compatible with
progressive format 480p signals, the image
may be affected when you set
"COMPONENT OUT" to
"PROGRESSIVE." In this case, set
"COMPONENT OUT" to "INTERLACE."
The picture does not fill the screen, even
though the aspect ratio is set in "TV TYPE"
under "SCREEN SET UP."
, The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your
DVD.
