Stuck in 'set 1'

The remote is probably set to another command mode (for example, SET2, DVD2 or RC2 depending on the model unit) or the batteries were replaced recently, so the remote needs to be reset. You can try this: take the batteries out of the remote (as if to replace them), press any button to clear the remote's buffer, then re-insert them. Point the remote at the player, then press and hold 1 and ENTER/OK buttons together for approximately 10 seconds, then release. This should restore the remote's function back to your player. This 'remote reset' must be done whenever the batteries are replaced, otherwise either the remote will not function correctly, or the device will not recognise it.

Very simple, takes a few seconds or so, and costs nothing to try.

Your dvd is locked to a region code so will only play dvd's for region it was made for.
good news is that you can unlock most dvd players to be region free.

To fix the Sony remote dvd-1 dvd-2 dvd-3 issue is to take the remote for that recoreder into another room or unplug the dvd recorder a moment. Then hold down the enter key and the number of the mode its stuck in ie if its stuck in dvd-1 mode hold down the enter key and then the 1 key. hold both buttons together for 3 seconds. After this go back into the room and try it or if you unpluged tthe player replug it back in. The remote has to be away from the player to work. again example

get away from player different room so it can not sence remote. Hold down enter and 1 button for 3 seconds and then try it
if its stuck in dvd-2 mode dold down enter and the number 2 button together for 3 secondsd and try it. The idea is you have to be far away from the recorder so it dosent recieve any inputs from the remote while doing this.

You are simply in blackout mode. This is so at night you aren't blinded by the glow of a screen. Here are instructions right from the manual to turn on or off.

Blackout Mode On and Off
When Blackout mode is turned on, the monitor display will turn off to
reduce power consumption.
This additional power enhances the sound quality.
1 Touch [VISUAL] on the main source screen.
The VISUAL selection screen is displayed.
2 Touch [OFF].
The backlit-display portion goes out.
3 Touch [OFF] again to cancel the display backlight.
• To make the setting, set to “Setting the VISUAL Touch Button” (page
34).
• If any button on the unit is pressed during Blackout mode, the
function will be displayed for 5 seconds to show the operation before
returning to Blackout mode.
• While the backlighting is turned off, the function indicator

Page 23 in the manual. Had the same problem. Press and hold ENTER and 3 for at least 3 seconds. Problem fixed

I also encountered a similar problem and did some research on the internet. The way to fix this problem is hold the 'Enter' key and while holding the enter key, press number 1 for a few seconds until the display changes to C1 or SET 1 error goes away.

This should fix the problem. Atleast it worked for me. All the best!!

I had this same problem (DVD1). Resolved as follows: With DVD player on, pointed remote at DVD player, pressed and held the 1 key and then pressed and held the enter key (both at same time) until I saw the DVD1 on the DVD player display disappear. Now everything works.

Your Child Lock has been turned on.
Press the power button of the remote for about 8
seconds. No buttons of front panel and remote can be
operated now and Lock indicator (“LOCK”) will be
displayed on window display.
To release child lock,
press the power button of the remote control for
about 8 seconds.
Good Luck.

Had the same problem when I changed the factory settings by mistake. There is no "cancel" button in the remote or the set. What worked for me was to follow the directions on P. 22 of the manual and change the remote settings to DVD 1. This is done by holding the "Enter" button and pressing number 1 on the keypad simultaneously for more than 5 seconds. Then, you go back to the "Settings" screen with the "Settings" button, change the control back to DVD 3, and reverse the setting in the remote by pressing "Enter" and the number 3 this time. Remember to hold them down more than 5 seconds. Good luck!
