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 18) 
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 18).
, You set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE 
switch to PROGRESSIVE on the rear panel 
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) 
even though your TV cannot accept the 
progressive signal. In this case, set the 
NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to 
NORMAL on the rear panel so that the 
PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off.
, You set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE 
switch to PROGRESSIVE on the rear panel 
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) 
but did not connect your TV to the player’s 
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a 
COMPONENT VIDEO cord.  Set to the 
PROGRESSIVE only when you connect 
your TV to the player’s COMPONENT 
VIDEO OUT jacks using a component 
video cord (page 18).
, 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, 
set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch 
to NORMAL 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.
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 22, 
23, 24).
, 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 (COAXIAL) jack, 
check the audio settings (page 68).
, 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.”
Sound distortion occurs.

The sound volume may improve if you set 
“AUDIO DRC” to “TV MODE” (page 68).
, Set “AUDIO ATT” in “AUDIO SETUP” to 
“OFF” (page 68).
