Remedy
• Check that the AC power cord is connected securely.
• When using the battery pack, check the remaining
battery life.
• Make sure you use the supplied AC power adaptor.
(Do not use any other AC power adaptor.)
• Check that the HOLD switch is set to off.
• Disconnect the AC power adaptor from this player for
more than 10 minutes. Then connect the AC power
adaptor and turn the power on again. If the power is
still not turned on, disconnect the AC power adaptor
and the battery pack and refer to your nearest Sony
dealer.
• The Auto Power Off function is activated. (If you do
not operate the player or the remote for more than 30
minutes when a disc is not being played, the power
will be automatically turned off.)
Press POWER on the player to turn the power on.
• Batteries are depleted.
Recharge the battery pack.
• Check that the player is connected securely.
• The video connecting cord is damaged. Replace it with
a new one.
• Use only the supplied video connecting cord.
• Make sure you connect the player to the video input
connector on the TV (page 15).
• 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.
• Clean the disc.
• If the video signal 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-video input, if your
TV is equipped with this input (page 15).
