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 cable securely.
,
The connecting cables are damaged.
,
Check the connection to your TV (page 10)
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.
,
The disc is recorded in a colour system that
is different from your TV.
,
You set the “PROGRESSIVE
(COMPONENT OUT ONLY)” to “ON” in
“SCREEN SETUP” (page 31) even though
your TV cannot accept the progressive
signal. In this case, refer to page 31 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 8. (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 the “PROGRESSIVE
(COMPONENT OUT ONLY)” in
“SCREEN SETUP” to “OFF” (page 30) so
that the player is set to normal (interlace)
format.

When playing multichannel MPEG audio
sound tracks, only the Front (L) and Front
(R) signals will be output from two front
