Troubleshooting
Remedy
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The connecting cords are damaged.
• Check the connection to your TV (page 12) 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, please
try connecting your player to your TV's S VIDEO input
(page 57).
• You have set the player to progressive format (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in blue) eventhough
your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In this
case, press the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel
until the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off (page 64).
• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format
(480p) signals, the image may be affected when you set
the player to progressive format. In this case, press the
PROGRESSIVE button so that the PROGRESSIVE
indicator turns off and the player is set to normal
(interlace) format (page 64).
• COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack is not used or "Video
Out" of the "SCREEN SETUP" menu is not set correctly
while the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in blue.
Check the setting (page 64) and connection (page 57) or
press the PROGRESSIVE button so that the
PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off.
• The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your DVD.
• The DVD player must be in standby mode to view
pictures from your VCR.
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The connecting cord is damaged.
• The player is connected to the wrong input jack on the
amplifier (receiver) (page 13).
• The amplifier (receiver) input is not correctly set.
• The player is in pause mode or in Slow-motion Play mode.
• The player is in fast forward or fast reverse mode.
• If the audio signal does not come through the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, check the
audio settings (page 59).
• When playing a CD with DTS sound tracks, noise will
come from the LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks (page 33)
or DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.
• The sound volume is low on some DVDs. The sound
volume may improve if you set "Audio DRC" to "TV
Mode" (page 60).
