NotesAbout the Precautions
Discs
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid
• To keep the disc clean, handle
the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or
scratches on the disc may cause
it to malfunction.
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and
controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected
to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the player from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or
disc/lens cleaners (including
wet or spray types). These
may cause the apparatus to
malfunction.
• Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise
considerably inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its
case.
On placement
On replacement of parts
• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player on a soft
surface such as a rug.
• Do not place the player in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not install this player in a
confined space, such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Install the player so that the AC
power cord (mains lead) can be
unplugged from the wall socket
immediately in the event of
trouble.
In the event that this unit is
repaired, repaired parts may be
collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the
centre out.
Caution: This player is capable of
holding a still video image or on-
screen display image on your
television screen indefinitely. If
you leave the still video image or
on-screen display image
displayed on your TV for an
extended period of time you risk
permanent damage to your
television screen. Plasma display
panel televisions and projection
televisions are susceptible to this.
• Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If you have printed the disc’s
label, dry the label before
playing.
On operation
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your player,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
• If the player is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should
this occur, the player may not
operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the
player turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• When you move the player, take
out any discs. If you don’t, the
disc may be damaged.

TVS was developed by Sony to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV.

Notes
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal
for the rear speakers, you cannot hear the
