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 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 17) 
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, try connecting 
your player to your TV’s S VIDEO input 
(page 17).
, You have selected “PROGRESSIVE 
AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO” 
using the PROGRESSIVE button on the 
front panel (the PROGRESSIVE indicator 
lights up) even though your TV cannot 
accept the progressive signal. In this case, 
disconnect the HDMI cord from the player 
and then select “NORMAL 
(INTERLACE)” so that 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, select 
“NORMAL (INTERLACE)” using the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel 
so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns 
off and the player is set to normal (interlace) 
format.
, 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 18.
, If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video 
output, changing the “HDMI 
RESOLUTION” setting in “SCREEN 
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 “SCREEN SETUP,” and switch 
the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture 
still does not appear, repeat the steps and try 
other options.
There is no picture or the picture noise 
appears when connected to the HDMI OUT 
jack.
, Try the following: 1Turn the player off 
and on again. 
2Turn the connected 
equipment off and on again. 
3Disconnect 
and then connect the HDMI cord again.
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.
Sound
There is no sound.
, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
, The connecting cord is damaged.
, The player is connected to the wrong input 
jack on the amplifier (receiver) (page 21).
, The amplifier (receiver) input is not 
correctly set.
, The player is in pause mode or in Slow-
motion Play mode.
, The player is in fast forward or fast reverse 
mode.
, If the audio signal does not come through 
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 
COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack, check the 
audio settings (page 66).
, While playing a Super VCD on which the 
audio track 2 is not recorded, no sound will 
come out when you select “2:STEREO,” 
“2:1/L,” or “2:2/R.”
, The equipment connected to the HDMI 
OUT jack does not conform to the audio 
signal format, in this case set 
“AUDIO(HDMI)” in “CUSTOM SETUP” 
to “PCM” (page 65).
