Connect this player to your TV using a video cord. Select one of the patterns A through D,  
according to the input jack on your TV.  
In order to view progressive signal (525p or 625p) pictures with a compatible TV, you must use

To connect to a TV with DVI input  
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not  
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any  
audio signals, so you have to use another  
audio connection in addition to this  
connection (page 14). Furthermore, you  
cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI  
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI  
jacks on PC displays).  
When connecting to a progressive TV, it is  
recommended that you use only pattern C. If you  
connect to your TV using both C and D, a special  
control signal transmitted via the SCART cord may  
cause the signal to be switched to the SCART jack.  
A Video input jack  
You will enjoy standard quality images.  
B HDMI/DVI input jack  
Use a certified Sony HDMI cord to enjoy  
high quality digital picture and sound through  
the HDMI OUT jack.  
C Component video input jacks  
(Y, PB/CB, PR/CR  
)
You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction  
and high quality images.  
When connecting to a Sony TV that is  
compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI  
function, see page 13.  
D SCART input jack  
Be sure to make the connections firmly to  
avoid hum and noise. When you connect  
using the SCART cord, check that the TV  
conforms to RGB signals. Refer to the  
operating instructions supplied with the TV to  
be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to  
“RGB (COMPONENT OFF)” under  
“SCREEN SETUP” in the Setup Display  
(page 35), use a SCART cord that conforms  
to each signal.  
When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack  
Follow the steps below. Improper handling  
may damage the HDMI OUT jack and  
the connector.  
1 Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on  
the back of the player and the HDMI  
connector by checking their shapes.  
Make sure the connector is not upside  
down or tilted.  
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen  
TV  
Some images may not fit your TV screen. To  
change the picture size, see page 35.  
b
• Do not connect more than one type of video cord  
between the player and your TV at the same time.  
• Do not use connections B and D at the same  
time.  
Not straight  
Connector is upside  
down  
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and  
the player. If you pass the player signals via the  
VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the  
TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video  
input jack, connect the player to this jack.  
2 Insert the HDMI connector straight into  
the HDMI OUT jack.  
Do not bend or apply force to the HDMI  
connector.

• When you connect the player to your TV via the  
SCART jack, the TV’s input source is set to the  
player automatically when you start playback. In  
this case, press TV t (input select) on the  
remote to return the input to the TV.  
• If you set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to  
“RGB (COMPONENT OFF)” (page 35), the  
player outputs no component video signals.  
• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cord when  
moving the player.  
• Do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet  
wall, if you place the player on the cabinet with  
the HDMI cord connected. It may damage the  
HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.  
• When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw  
in or rotate the HDMI connector.  
When you play a disc recorded in the NTSC  
colour system, the player outputs the video  
signal or the Setup Display etc. in the NTSC  
colour system and the picture may not  
appear on the PAL colour system  
televisions. In this case, open the tray and  
remove the disc.

• After you have completed the connection, make  
the appropriate settings in Quick Setup (page 16).  
If your audio component has an MPEG audio  
decoder function, set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in  
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 39). Otherwise, no  
sound or a loud noise will come from your  
speakers.  
• The TVS effects of this player cannot be used  
with this connection.  
• When you connect the player to an audio  
component using an HDMI cord, you will need to  
do one of the following:  
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or  
humid place.  
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote  
casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.  
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light  
from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so  
may cause a malfunction.  
• If you do not use the remote for an extended  
period of time, remove the batteries to avoid  
possible damage from battery leakage and  
corrosion.  
– Connect the audio component to the TV with the  
HDMI cord.  
– Connect the player to the TV with a video cord  
other than HDMI cord (component video cord or  
audio/video cord).
