◆ BLACK LEVEL (COMPONENT OUT)

Selects the black level (setup level) for the 
video signals output from the COMPONENT 
VIDEO OUT jacks. When progressive 
signals are being output (PROGRESSIVE is 
lit on the front panel display), BLACK 
LEVEL (COMPONENT OUT) is set to off 
regardless of the setting (ON/OFF).

You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p) 
video signal output when you set NORMAL/
PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE 
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) and 
connect the player using the COMPONENT 
VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able to 
accept the video signal in progressive format.

◆ MODE(PROGRESSIVE)

DVD software can be divided into two types: 
film based software and video based 
software. Video based software is derived 
from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and 
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per 
second. Film based software is derived from 
film and displays images at 24 frames per 
second. Some DVD software contains both 
Video and Film.
In order for these images to appear natural on 
your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE 
mode (60 frames per second), the progressive 
video signal needs to be converted to match 
the type of DVD software that you are 
watching.

Using the LINE OUT (VIDEO) jack or the S 
VIDEO OUT jack will cause the picture to become 
unclear or go blank when you set NORMAL/
PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE. In this 
case, set NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to 
NORMAL so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator 
turns off.

OFF

Sets the black level of the 
output signal to the standard 
level.

ON

Raises the standard black level. 
Use this when the picture 
becomes too black.

AUTO

This will automatically detect 
if you are playing Film based 
or Video based software and 
convert the signal to the 
appropriate conversion mode. 
Normally select this position.

VIDEO

This will set the conversion 
mode for Video based 
software, regardless of the 
type of software that you are 
playing.

• If you set “DTS” to “OFF” (page 69), the DTS 

sound track is not played even if you set “TRACK 
SELECTION” to “AUTO.”

• If PCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital sound tracks 

have the same number of channels, the player 
selects PCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital sound 
tracks in this order.

◆ MULTI-DISC RESUME (DVD VIDEO/

48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVD 

VIDEOs are always converted 
to 48kHz/16bit.

96kHz/24bit All types of signals including 

96kHz/24bit are output in their 
original format. However, if the 
signal is encrypted for 
copyright protection purposes, 
the signal is only output as 
48kHz/16bit.

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).

, Check that the AC power cord is connected 

securely.

, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

, The connecting cords are damaged.

, Check the connection to your TV (page 18) 

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 DVD programs could affect 
picture quality. If you still experience 
problems even when you connect your 
player directly to your TV, please try 
connecting your player to your TV’s S 
VIDEO input (page 18).

, You set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE 

switch to PROGRESSIVE on the rear panel 
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) 
even though your TV cannot accept the 
progressive signal. In this case, set the 
NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to 
NORMAL on the rear panel so that the 
PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off.

, You set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE 

switch to PROGRESSIVE on the rear panel 
(the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) 
but did not connect your TV to the player’s 
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a 
COMPONENT VIDEO cord.  Set to the 
PROGRESSIVE only when you connect 

your TV to the player’s COMPONENT 
VIDEO OUT jacks using a component 
video cord (page 18).

, Even if your TV is compatible with 

progressive format (480p) signals, the 
image may be affected when you set the 
player to progressive format. In this case, 
set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch 
to NORMAL so that the PROGRESSIVE 
indicator turns off and the player is set to 
normal (interlace) format.

, The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your 

DVD.

, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

, The connecting cord is damaged.

, The player is connected to the wrong input 

jack on the amplifier (receiver) (page 22, 
23, 24).

, The amplifier (receiver) input is not 

correctly set.

, The player is in pause mode or in Slow-

motion Play mode.

, The player is in fast forward or fast reverse 

mode.

, If the audio signal does not come through 

the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, 
check the audio settings (page 68).

, While playing a Super VCD on which the 

audio track 2 is not recorded, no sound will 
come out when you select “2:STEREO,” 
“2:1/L,” or “2:2/R.”

, Set “AUDIO ATT” in “AUDIO SETUP” to 

“ON” (page 68).

, The sound volume is low on some DVDs. 

The sound volume may improve if you set 
“AUDIO DRC” to “TV MODE” (page 68).

, Set “AUDIO ATT” in “AUDIO SETUP” to 

“OFF” (page 68).
