There is no picture

•Select the correct In socket on your TV set.

•The TV mode is not in the correct position. It must be set to SCART (RGB) if the player is connected to the TV through the Scart-Peritel connector, or to Yuv if the player is connected to the TV by the 3 Y, Pr, Pb (COMPONENT) connectors.

•Important - If you don’t have a Progressive Scan TV or you don’t have the DVD player connected to the correct Input Jacks, and you activate Progressive Scan in the DVD player you won’t see a picture!

Don’t panic—try the following: first, press the PREV/video button on the front of the DVD player (it will go to the next video output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV screen). If that doesn’t work, press and hold PREV/video button on the front of the DVD player for 3 seconds. Now, press the PREV/video button again (it will go to the next video output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV screen). As a last resort, you can reset the DVD player to the factory default settings.
