Sony DAV-S500 System Questions & Answers
Can I use the audio inputs to run a record player?
Not unless the record player has a 'pre-amp' installed to raise the signal level to one that the audio input can use. If the Sony does not have a phono input, it is likely that it won't work without the phono pre-amp.
Movie freezes, skips.
Does sound like the laser. Realitically, not worth repairing. I'd say you'd be worth connecting a cheap DVD player to the system - then the Sony can carry on providing the surround sound audio and the new DVD player can provide the video. Then, if the cheap DVD player is still going, it can move to a bedroom TV if and when you replace the surround system....
Otherwise, I would imaging the speaker set (and even the non-working DVD player) on its own might fetch a reasonable price on an auction site - anyone who has a stolen DVD unit will probably be desparate for the speakers as Sony don't sell them separately!
Power button turns red but system doesn't turn on.
Does it work from the remote? If it's not that way either, most likely, you have a bad microprocessor(computer) IC in the unit.
