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).

PowerThe power does not turn on.

,Check that the power cord is connected securely.

,Check the connection to your TV (page 10) 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 BD/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 10).

,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 11.

,If the HDMI OUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are used for video output, changing the output resolution may solve the problem (page 46). Press VIDEO FORMAT repeatedly until the picture appears correctly.

,Depending on the disc, the picture quality may be poor when the VIDEO FORMAT setting is set to other than “480i,” even when the player is connected to a progressive or HD TV using a component cord or an HDMI cord. If this happens, press VIDEO FORMAT repeatedly to switch to “480i.”

,When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers switch.

,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.
