Additional Information Troubleshooting If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, 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. The STANDBY indicator flashes. Immediately unplug the power cord and check the following items. • Are the + and - speaker cords short-circuited? • Are you using only the specified speakers? • Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the top of the system? • Is the subwoofer connected incorrectly? After checking the above items and fixing any problems, connect the power cord again and turn on the system. If the indicator still flashes, or if the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Picture There is no picture. • 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 23). • 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, return the setting to interlace format (page 25). • Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (480p) signals, the image may be affected when you set [COMPONENT OUT] to [PROGRESSIVE]. In this case, set [COMPONENT OUT] to [INTERLACE] (page 79). 88US • When [PROGRESSIVE] is selected in [SCREEN SETUP], no signal is output from the MONITOR OUT or S VIDEO OUT jacks. Picture noise appears. • The disc is dirty or flawed. • If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the copyprotection 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 23).

Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. • Clean the disc.
