Hi Donna,

if everyting is frozen and you cannot do anything with your computer, you can wait a couple minutes to see if it is only working on something in the background that is taking up all its resources... if it does not start responding by itself, and you do not want to wait anymore... push the PC's start button that you use to turn your computer on (not the windows start button) for 8 seconds and it should turn off. NOTE: any changes to data that was open and and not saved will be lost.

Hope that helps

Look for any jammed buttons on the remote. Try changing the input device to something you are sure, works such as a DVD player. Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours.

If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

Easy, disable the TV speakers or turn its volume down.

Page 36 tells you how to sync the sound to the picture but you really shouldn't have the TV speakers competing (in stereo) with the Sony. (Page 56).

A) The TV speakers are probably inferior to teh Sony's
B) When you balanced the speakers during setup there was no 'with-the-TV-speakers-on' option. The image up front would suffer by adding an unaccounted for sound source.

This worked for me, but obviously I accept no liability for anyone who tries it on their machine.

The RM-ADP053 comes in the box with the BDV-370 and is preprogrammed with the codes to operate that unit. The manual can be found at Sony at this link.
To reset the remote control back to factory specifications, press the POWER , TV/VIDEO , and VOL- buttons simultaneously.
