1.Examine the video cables – particularly the S-video cables – to ensure a good connection to the associated component.

2.Check the INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN (page 3-11) and COMPONENT IN (page 3-12) parameters to ensure the appropriate video connector is assigned to the selected input.

RF interference is present in the audio or video.

1.Make sure the SDP-5 is not positioned near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV decoders, and other RF-emitting devices.

2.Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever possible.

The SDP-5 is exhibiting erratic behavior.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that should be performed on a periodic basis.

•Clean the SDP-5 exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners, or strong commercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal polish. If the SDP-5 is exposed to a dusty environment, a low-pressure blower can be used to remove dust from its exterior surface.

•Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remote control requires two AA batteries. When these batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the SDP-5. When this occurs, follow the instructions on page 1-5 to replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed.
