Sony 3-299-549-11(1) Operating Instructions Manual page 103

Picture
Symptom
There is no picture.
Picture noise appears.
Even though you set the aspect ratio in
[TV TYPE] of [VIDEO SETUP], the
picture does not fill the TV screen.
Colour irregularity occurs on the TV
screen.
Remedy
• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.
• The video connecting cords are damaged.
• The control unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 26).
• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from
the system.
• Check the output method on your system (page 36).
• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in
progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the
default setting) (page 37).
• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p) signals,
the image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case,
return the setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 37).
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The control unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (high-
bandwidth digital content protection) compliant ("HDMI" on the front
panel display does not light up).
• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, change the type of video
signal output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem
(page 36).
Connect the TV and the control unit using a video jack other than the
HDMI OUT, and switch the TV's input to the connected video input so
that you can see the on-screen displays. Change the type of video signal
output from the HDMI OUT jack, and switch the TV's input back to
HDMI. If the picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and try other
options.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to
your TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs
could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when
you connect your control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your
control unit to your TV's video input (except for the HDMI jack)
(page 26).
• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.
The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically
shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur,
as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following
items:
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the
speakers at least 0.3 m from the TV set.
• If the colour irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on
after 15 to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers further away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health
care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
