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 cords are damaged.
, Check the connection to your TV (page 20)
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 20).
, If the color system of your player does not
match with that of your TV, change the
color system of the player. For details, see
page 17. (You cannot change the color
system of the DVD disc itself.)
, 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 back panel of the
player to INTERLACE. Then set
"COMPONENT OUT" to "INTERLACE"
after you can see the TV screen correctly,
and reset the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/
SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.
