Note  
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.  
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers  
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these  
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch  
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord, such as shown below.  
Stripped speaker cord is touching  
another speaker terminal.  
Stripped cords are touching each other  
due to excessive removal of insulation.  
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to  
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 64.  
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker  
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this  
happens, check the speaker connection again.  
Note  
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords  
are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

What is MP3/JPEG?  
• which conform to the DCF* image file format  
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image  
standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan

Association (JEITA).  
MP3 is audio compression technology that  
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is  
image compression technology.  
Discs that the system can  
play  
Note  
• The system will play any data with the  
extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if  
they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing  
this data may generate a loud noise which  
could damage your speaker system.  
• The system does not conform to audio in  
MP3PRO format.  
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-  
Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-  
RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs)  
recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or  
JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be  
recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level  
2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal  
Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize  
the tracks (or files). You can also play discs  
recorded in Multi Session.

this system is subject to certain conditions:  
• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may  
pause or be unclear. In which case, it is recommended  
that you create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound  
is still noisy, MP3 is the recommended audio format.  
Note, however, this system does not conform to  
WMA (Windows Media Audio) format.

Additional Information  
Precautions  
On cleaning  
On power sources  
• 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.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not  
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by  
the cord.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet  
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.  
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do  
not place the unit in a confined space where  
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the unit can overheat and malfunction.  
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.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have  
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the TV set.  
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)  
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block  
the ventilation slots.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system 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.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with  
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large  
loudspeakers.  
On moving the system  
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.  
Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
On operation  
• If the system 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 control unit.  
Should this occur, the system may not operate  
properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the  
system turned on for about half an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you  
don’t, the disc may be damaged.  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four  
channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with  
the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right  
panning more naturally and localizes sounds  
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of  
surround speakers and a center speaker. The  
surround speakers output monaural sound.  
Glossary  
Album  
Section of a music piece or an image on a data  
CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.  
Chapter  
Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is  
composed of several chapters.  
®
DivX (except for United Kingdom  
and North American models)  
Digital video technology created by DivX, Inc.  
Videos encoded with DivX technology are  
among the highest quality with a relatively small  
file size.  
DTS  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format  
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is  
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS  
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high  
quality digital audio. The good channel  
separation is realized due to the all channel data  
being recorded discretely and processed in  
digitally.  
Dolby Digital  
This movie theater sound format is more  
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In  
this format, the surround speakers output stereo  
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a  
subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. This format is also  
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel  
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions  
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
since all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.  
DVD  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same as  
a CD.  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-  
sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times  
that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a  
dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a  
single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and  
a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of  
a worldwide standard of digital compression  
technology. The picture data is compressed to  
about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also  
uses the variable rate coding technology that  
processes allocated data according to the status  
of the picture.  
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as  
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more  
realistic audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such  
as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental  
Control functions are provided with the DVD.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth  
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is  
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix  
surround decoder that extracts the spatial  
properties of the original recording without  
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.  
x Movie mode  
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television  
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby  
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field  
directionality that approaches the quality of  
discrete 5.1-channel sound.  
x Music mode  
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music  
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound  
space.

DVD+RW  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes  
and so on.  
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and  
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording  
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO  
format.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
A method for converting analog audio to digital  
audio. It is used for the Compact Disc (CD)  
audio format.  
DVD-RW  
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc  
that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The  
DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode  
and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video  
mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO,  
while discs created in VR (Video Recording)  
mode allow the contents to be programmed or  
edited.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)  
to control playback.  
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO  
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing  
simple interactive programs, programs with  
search functions, and so on.  
Region Code  
File  
This system is used to protect copyrights. A  
region number is allocated on each DVD system  
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each  
region code is shown on the system as well as on  
the disc packaging. The system can play discs  
that match its region code. The system can also  
play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the  
region code is not shown on the DVD, the region  
limit may still apply.  
A JPEG image or a DivX video* recorded on a  
DATA CD/DATA DVD. (“File” is an exclusive  
definition for this system.) A single file consists  
of a single image or movie.

models.  
ALL  
Film based software, Video based  
software  
DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video  
based software. Film based DVDs contain the  
same images (24 frames per second) that are  
shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs,  
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays  
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.  
Scene  
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)  
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures  
and still pictures are divided into sections called  
“scenes.”  
Title  
MPEG audio  
The longest section of a picture or music feature  
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the  
entire album in audio software.

VIDEO CD  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of  
a worldwide standard of digital compression  
technology. The picture data is compressed to  
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a  
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes  
of moving pictures.  
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.  
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are  
compressed while sounds we can hear are not  
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold six times the  
audio information of conventional audio CDs.  
There are two versions of VIDEO CDs.  
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving  
pictures and sounds.  
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still  
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.  
This system conforms to both versions.
