Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Power

The power is not turned on.

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

Picture

There is no picture.

,The connecting cords are not connected securely.

,The connecting cords are damaged.

,The receiver 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 receiver.

,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 player to INTERLACE. Then set “COMPO- NENT 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 jack.

Picture noise appears.

,The disc is dirty or flawed.

,If the picture output from your receiver 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 receiver directly to your TV, try connecting your receiver to your TV’s S video input (page 22).

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.

The picture is black and white.

,Depending on the TV, the picture on the screen becomes black and white when you play a disc recorded in the NTSC color system.

Sound

There is no sound.

,The connecting cord is not connected securely.

,The connecting cord is damaged. Replace it with a new one.

,Press MUTING on the remote if “MUTING ON” is displayed on the front panel display.

,The protective device on the receiver has been activated because of a short circuit. Turn off the receiver, eliminate the short-circuit problem and turn on the power again.

,The receiver is in pause mode or in Slow- motion Play mode. Press H to return to normal play mode.

,Fast forward or fast reverse is performed. Press H to return to normal play mode.

,Check the speaker settings (pages 24, 69).
