Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while
using the player, use this troubleshooting guide to help
you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Power
The power is not turned on.
/ If the indicator above the 1/u (POWER) button is
not lit, check that the AC power cord is connected
securely.
Picture
There is no picture.
/ Check that the player is connected securely.
/ The video connecting cord is damaged. Replace it
with a new one.
/ Make sure you connect the player to the video
input connector on the TV. (page 8)
/ Make sure you turn on the TV.
/ Make sure you select the video input on the TV so
that you can view the pictures from the player.
The picture noise appears.
/ Clean the disc.
/ If video from your DVD player has to go through
your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection
applied to some DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you still experience problems
after checking your connections, please try
connecting your DVD player directly to your TV’s
S-input, if your TV is equipped with this input.
(page 8)
/ If the color system of your DVD player does not
match with that of your TV, change the color
system of the player. For details, see page 9. (You
cannot change the color system of the DVD disc
itself.)

even though you set “TV TYPE” in “SCREEN
SETUP” in the setup display when you play a
wide picture.

/ If you connect the player with the S video cord,
connect directly to the TV. Otherwise, you may
not change the aspect ratio.

aspect ratio.
