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.
,
Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
,
The connecting cords are damaged.
,
Check the connection to your TV (page 15)
and switch the input selector on your TV so
that the signal from the player appears on
the TV screen.
,
Set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to an
item appropriate for your system (page 58).
,
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.
,
You set the “PROGRESSIVE
(COMPONENT OUT ONLY)” in
“SCREEN SETUP” to “ON” even though
your TV cannot accept the progressive
signal. In this case, refer to page 58 to reset
the setting.
,
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 ONLY)” in “SCREEN
SETUP” to “OFF” so that the player is set to
normal (interlace) format (page 58).
,
The disc is recorded in a colour system that
is different from your TV.
,
If you set “LINE” to “RGB (COMPONENT
OFF)” in “SCREEN SETUP” (page 58), the
player outputs no component video signals.
,
The player is connected to an input device
that is not HDCP compliant (the HDMI
indicator on the front panel does not light
up). See page 16.
,
If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video
output, changing the “HDMI
RESOLUTION” setting in “HDMI
SETUP” may solve the problem (page 62).
Connect the TV and the player 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 “HDMI RESOLUTION”
setting in “HDMI SETUP,” and switch the
TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still
does not appear, repeat the steps and try
other options.

The picture does not fill the screen, even
though the aspect ratio is set in “TV TYPE”
under “SCREEN SETUP.”
,
The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your
DVD.
The picture is black and white.
,
Set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to an
item appropriate for your TV (page 58).
,
Depending on the TV, the picture on the
screen becomes black and white when you
play a disc recorded in the NTSC colour
system.

If you are using a SCART cord, be sure to
use one that is fully wired (21-pins).
