I have a sony dav-s550 and the sound and picture are not in sync. Looked in the manual but it doesnt say anything about it.

Hello, welcome to Fixya!

The display setting is set to NTSC either on the TV or DVD that's why it is showing in black and white.

Check the DVD display settings and change it to Pal or auto, save and try again. Also, check the PAl settings on the TV.

If the above doesn't solve the problem,then it means there is an incompatibilty problem between the TV and DVD.

I hope the above is clear.

Look in the manual...

Search it for "A/V sync".

Page 65, 71, etc

The manual eject button for the Sony BDP-S550 is located on the top right edge on the front of the of the player.

The manual for the Blu-ray player is located here...

Also, located below is a picture of the Sony BDP-S550. If you look on along the edge of the top right on the front of the player, you will see a button with the eject logo on it.

If this helped, please rate it!

i had the same problem with my dz330. simply attach you sky box via scart to the back of your sony box and hey presto you should have sound when selecting tv mode from the sony remote

1. Press FUNCTION repetedly until "DVD" appears in the front panel display.
2. While holding down rewind botton, press FUNCTION.
The output signal is changed to interlace format.

There is a gear underneath the tray that may be broken or possibly the open close detect switch nay be bad. You will have to remove the tray,you will then see that gear.

Hi,
the fuses are the first obvious suggestions.
in the main AC plug, and if theres any sign of fuses on the Circuit board itself.
If it,s over 2 years old, i,d think about getting a replacement.
as repairs nowadays cost an arm and a leg, and only usually warranted between 30-90 days.
If it,s done it,s job. then it,s time to think about a replacement.

Open it up and check the main fuse. It is located on the board where the wall plug enters the chassis.

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!

Lasers are mechanical and focusing parts. Over time, mechanical parts can wear out and focusing parts lose focus.

Try a wet/dry laser cleaner using alchol based cleaner. If this doesn't work, connect a cheap DVD player to it so the Sony system can provide audio....
