Is your Sylvania DVD player frozen, stuck, or just not working correctly? Before you throw it out, a simple factory reset can often solve the problem. This guide will show you how.
This reset will not require a remote.
How to Reset Your Sylvania DVD Player
- While the DVD player is on, press and hold the “POWER” button on the front of the player itself for 10 seconds.
- If that doesn’t work, unplug the main power cable from the wall.
- Wait for at least one minute. This allows the internal capacitors to fully discharge and clear any errors.
- Plug the power cable back into the wall and turn on the DVD player.
This hard reset will clear most software-related errors and return the player to its factory settings.
