Sony DVP-SR200P -- Playing CDs In Repeat Mode Without a TV

[maico996]

Hi and thanks in advance for any replies to my question.

I just bought a Sony DVP-SR200P to use as a stand-alone CD player for a telephone music-on-hold system. I need to put the player in repeat mode to continuously play the on-hold music disc but can't access any of the advanced playback functions without connecting the player to a TV. Does anyone know of a workaround for this that doesn't involve dragging a TV into our phone room?

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

I find myself in the same exact situation.. needing to loop/repeat for a phone hold music.

Were you able to get around hooking a T.V. up to set the repeat?

Thank you,

John

John,
Here's the sequence to loop the disc without connecting a TV:

1. Load the disc and wait for the number of tracks to appear on the display.
2. Press the Display button on the remote
3. Arrow down 4 times.
4. Press enter.
5. Arrow down once.
6. Press enter.
7. Press play.

Your disc should now loop until you stop the disc or the player loses power. Unfortunately, the only way to know if it's looping is to listen occasionally as there is no indication on the player's display that it's in loop mode.

Excellent! That appears to have worked.

Thanks Scott!

Thank you, Scott!

This also works in reverse: to stop looping CDs. But the setting only lasts as long as the player is ON; when turned OFF or unplugged, it goes right back to looping CDs.

I'm using the little Sony DVP-SR200P from Goodwill as CD player w. AUX input of old Bose Wave radio. Thinking to use the player's disc home switch inside to trigger an opto-coupler connected to the stop button (or the power buton). It should be a quick and simple hack to eliminate looping CDs for good.
