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 mains lead is connected
securely.
Picture
There is no picture/picture noise appears.

,
Check the connection to your TV (page 15)
and switch the input selector on your TV so

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 programmes could
affect picture quality.
,
The disc is recorded in a colour system that
is different from your TV.
,
You set the “PROGRESSIVE
(COMPONENT OUT)” in “SCREEN
SETUP” to “ON” even though your TV
cannot accept the progressive signal. In this
case, refer to page 63 to reset the setting.
,
If the colour system of your player does not
match with that of your TV, change the
colour system of the player. For details, see
page 16. (You cannot change the colour
system of the DVD disc itself.)
,
Even if your TV is compatible with
progressive format 525p/625p signals and
connected using COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks, the image may be affected when
you set the player to progressive format. In
this case, set “PROGRESSIVE
(COMPONENT OUT)” in “SCREEN
SETUP” to “OFF” so that the player is set to
normal (interlace) format (page 63).
The picture does not fill the screen, even
though the aspect ratio is set in “TV TYPE”
