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 (for customers in the
USA only).
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 16)
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 16).
,
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.
,
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.
Even though you set the aspect ratio in “TV
TYPE” of “SCREEN SETUP,” the picture
does not fill the screen.
,
The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your
DVD.

motion Play mode.
