problem before requesting repairs. Should
any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.

, Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is

connected securely.

, The video connecting cords are not connected

securely.

, The video connecting cords are damaged.
, The system is not connected to the correct TV

input jack (page 22).

, The video input on the TV is not set so that

you can view pictures from the system.

, You have set “COMPONENT OUT” in

“SCREEN SETUP” to “PROGRESSIVE”

even though your TV cannot accept the signal

in progressive format. In this case, set the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN

SELECT switch on the back panel of the unit

to INTERLACE. Then set  “COMPONENT

OUT” to “INTERLACE” after you can see

the TV screen correctly, and reset the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ SCAN

SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

, Even if your TV is compatible with

progressive format (480p) signals, the image

may be affected when you set “COMPO-

NENT OUT” to  “PROGRESSIVE.” In this

case, set “COMPONENT OUT” to “INTER-

LACE.”

, When “PROGRESSIVE” is selected in

“SCREEN SETUP,” no signal is output from

the MONITOR OUT or S VIDEO OUT

jacks.

, The disc is dirty or flawed.
, If the picture output from your system goes

through your VCR to get to your TV, the

copy-protection signal applied to some DVD

programs could affect picture quality. If you

still experience problems even when you

connect your system directly to your TV, try

connecting your system to your TV’s S video

input (page 22).

, The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your

DVD.

, Depending on the TV, the picture on the
