No Color from S-Video port on Sony 725P DVD player
Hi folks- all of a sudden, I have no color coming from the S-video port
on this player. Color is there using the composite video port. Have looked at the back of the PCB in that area with a microscope, checked continuity from pin 4 (all pins, actually) through the traces- several resistors and one 100 nF cap appear to be all good. Any ideas? I'd love to see a schematic of this unit. Paul Nelson W5GNF |

No Color from S-Video port on Sony 725P DVD player
Hi, James.
Yup, there are two other S-video sources running to the TV through a Sony DA333ES receiver; they both work fine. And I've switched things around to eliminate the receiver switching circuitry. Haven't put a 'scope on the outputs yet. Could have missed something; gonna take it over to a friend's place to doublecheck tomorrow. James Thompson wrote: "Paul Nelson" wrote in message ...

Check the settings in the DVD menu, it may have defaulted to the wrong
output. Or some units have a simple switch on the back of the DVD player. Dani. Paul Nelson wrote: Hi folks- all of a sudden, I have no color coming from the S-video port on this player.

Any ideas? I'd love to see a schematic of this unit. Paul Nelson W5GNF Have you checked to make sure the output mode of the player is set to S-video? Many DVD players have a switch, or menu setting for S-video/component. In component mode it will only output the Y signal from the s-video. Even if it's still set to S-video, it's worth toggling the setting just in case a software bug caused it to switch to component mode while still displaying S-video mode in the menu. Andy Cuffe |

Sometimes they just develop an internal break for no apparent reason. Always try the simplest thing first. |
