There is a small hole on the front of DVD near buttons... Straighten paper clip and insert into hole, a gentle push should release tray so you can open and remove disk..Sounds like you did not seat DVD properly

First check all of your connections, if still no change then the problem maybe internal. Hope this helps

How does it sound when you calibrate the speakers (page 75)? THAT is how the basic hardware is verified. Anything that doesn't work after that is usually a setup or source issue. Read the manual.

Turn the volume control to something medium.

The errant switch, control or condition may change and you will suddenly release the amp's full power and possibly destroying your speakers. If a signal isn't audible at 1/2 volume it's probably not there.

Carefully examine the front panel for clues like a misplaced Source Selection, Mute, Tape Monitor control or Multichannel Analog Input selected.

There is a good chance that a common control may have developed a high-resistance or 'dead' spot through defect or idleness and is causing your symptom. Turn the POWER OFF and operate every control throughout its range a number of times, especially rarely-used ones like Tape Monitors and the Mute control.

Turn the volume to something reasonable and see if that helped.

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'nekkid'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Dear ecuabling,
Sony Home Theater system gives such message at that time when it gets problem in Amplifier section. You should contact nearest Sony repair center for better solution.

The motor may just have seized. With the top off, insert a disc and as it trys to spin give it a little help. If this doesn't work then it needs a new motor or complete mechanism.

reset button on back. also try unplugging it when u do that or unplug it for about an hour it will reset it.

I have a similar problem where I hear low sound (music or tv) even after maxing the volume. Have you tried doing a test tone for all speakers and see if it 'temporarily' resolves the problem. I bought this system brand new since 2005 and this is the first sound issues I am dealing with. What works for me is when I shut it down and unplug it for a minute or so...it resumes operating normally! If you come across a permanent solution, please share and I will do the same. Tks.

Hi,
You need to turn On Progressive Scan mode in home theater system to get video output in component video out ports so tv can show its picture.
Progressive Scan mode can be turned On by going into setup menu of home theater, details are available in user manual.
Thanks.

my home theater model dav dz270 but my remoteis missing please help me what is the remote number

Yous should check out the connection. If the surround speakers have adv-in jack then you should try plugging them in harder! if this still doesn't work,then that means that some cables are not well insulated
