Why is there no picture or picture noise on my Sony D350P?

  There could be several reasons for this issue. Ensure the connecting cords are securely re-connected and not damaged. Check the connection to your TV and switch the input selector so that the signal from the player appears on the screen. If you're using a combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. Try connecting your player directly to your TV’s S-VIDEO input. Also, check if you have set the player to progressive format even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal, or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack is not used or Progressive of the SCREEN SETUP menu is not set correctly while the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in orange. The disc may also be dirty or flawed.

  Several factors could cause a lack of sound. First, ensure that all connecting cords are securely re-connected and not damaged. Check if the player is connected to the correct input jack on the amplifier, and that the amplifier input is correctly set. Also, verify that the player is not in pause mode, Slow-motion Play mode, fast forward, or fast reverse mode. If the audio signal does not come through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack, check the audio settings.

  If the remote commander isn't working, first ensure you're pointing it directly at the remote sensor on the DVD-VCR. If that doesn't work, replace all the batteries in the remote commander with new ones. Also, make sure the TV / DVD·VIDEO switch is set correctly and select VIDEO or DVD with the SELECT DVD/ VIDEO button.

  If the timer isn't operating, verify that the clock is set, a tape has been inserted, and the safety tab hasn't been removed. Also, ensure the tape is not at its end, a program has been set for timer recording, and your timer settings are past the current time. Check that the cable box is turned on. If the DVD-VCR was disconnected from the wall outlet for more than one minute, reset the clock and timer. You can also try turning the power off and unplugging the AC power cord.

  If the power is on but the DVD-VCR doesn't operate, moisture condensation may have occurred. Turn the power off, unplug the AC power cord, and leave the DVD-VCR to dry for over three hours.

  The tracking meter might not appear because the recording condition of the tape is very poor, meaning the tracking cannot be adjusted.
