Help needed on a recalcitrant Sony DVP-S7000


I have an old Sony DVP-S7000 DVD/CD player that I would like to give to a friend if I can fix an annoying problem. This DVD/CD player works perfectly but will refuse to play about one out of three brand new DVDs.

The problem is with the player. I used to follow the instructions on Sony website to re-calibrate the player by just turning it off and back on in a special way.

I lost my copy of these instructions, which have now been removed from the Sony site! If anyone still has these instructions, I would love to get a copy from you.

Thank you.

Use the following key press sequence:

1. Power (off)
2. Time
3. Clear
4. Power (on)

When DVP-S7000 turns on, you will see the main service menu.
