    Defective, returned

    I've had a problem with this particular model before. It seems to stem from the power cord being a separate connection to the unit rather than being hard wired to it. This causes connection problems sometimes resolved by unplugging/replugging the cord on the back of the unit. The power connection to an AC outlet also takes up more space than a regular cord connection would. My first unit purchased years ago didn't display this problem until after the return period had expired. I thought the problem might be fixed but fortunately my recent purchase revealed this problem the first day. I have a regular Sony DVD player with a normal power connection and have no problem with it.

      Hi Volksold,

      We apologize for the frustration caused by the power connection design on this model. While this external adapter is used to maintain the unit’s compact footprint, we understand how a secure fit is essential for uninterrupted viewing. Please ensure the cord is pushed firmly into the player until it is fully flush, and try placing the unit on a flat, stable surface to prevent any tension on the port. We take your feedback regarding the plug size and connection style seriously as we look to improve our future designs. Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

      Eliab Sony_US
