I have no sound when playing DVD. No problems when playing cd, cacd, tv, radio. I tried all sorts of different dvd's .
Sometimes it works, but independable of DVD palyer, more linked to time (eg friday evening it never works). very strange, sony has no solution, player is 2,5 years old and no warrenty.
Does anyone have a solution?
How do you have the DVD player connected - component cables, s-video cable?
It sounds like the DVD player is trying to use an output port for audio that you aren't using, but defaults to a different port for CDs - the one you are using. There should be audio output options in the DVD player menus - I'd suggest trying each of them and seeing if any help. I'm not familiar enough with that particular model to say exactly how to get to those menus.
Also, the research I have done on this system basically says the DVD player stinks, and is prone to a number of problems. You might want to see if you can borrow a DVD player from someone else (assuming you don't have another) and hook it up in the system. At the very least, this should confirm whether it's the DVD player or the sound system that is the problem. If it's the DVD player, you should be able to get a decent replacement rather cheaply. I've always had luck with Apex, and they're generally quite affordable.

Well, if your cheap DVD player's sound works, that rules out anything in the speaker system, including the cables. The problem is definitely in the Sony DVD player.
Have you tried going through the setup menus for the DVD player and checking sound options? I'm not exactly sure how you get to those, but on many players it requires turning it on with no DVD in it and using the menu button on the remote. There should be options to configure the sound output that will tell the DVD which port to use for outgoing sound from movies. This isn't always set up to be the same port that CDs or anything else plays out of. I think if you find those menus, and start trying different options, you'll find one that fixes your problem.

It could be an internal cable, or bad soldering joint. I've been unable to find any kind of schematics or service manual for this... those kind of things keep becoming more rare as electronics become cheaper and thus easier to replace rather than repair.
My only thought would be to open the lid, check where the audio cable jack connects and follow the wire back, looking for anything broken, burnt or cracked. If it's a cracked joint, it can be resoldered. If it's a broken cable, splice a new one in. If it's burnt... that's a bit harder to fix... probably just replace the DVD player.

I am 80% sure that your cables are busted.. try buying new RCA cables..
check if the vents are blocked.. maybe something overheated and something got busted...

Thank, but no solution. I have bought a cheap dvd player and can use it through the video 1 connection. Good sound and screen. But now the colours ar to yellow, probably the player was too cheap.
I still prefe to have the DVD player working of the Sony as I hate many remote controlls and ugly machines
I do not understand this solution, how can cables be busted if CD sound etc is working? It is an internal thing in the player.
Vents are not blocked
I have tried every setup for dvd sound, but still no solution. As you probably know it is a homeset with cd, dvd, sacd included. It is very strange that cd is working and dvd not. Could internaly some cable be fault/lose or is it a setup thing?
I want to open it, but is there some manual for this?
