Precautions  
On safety  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments  
with this product will increase eye hazard.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not  
place objects filled with liquids, such as  
vases, on the apparatus.  
• Should any solid object or liquid 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 cleaning discs  
Do not use a commercially available cleaning  
disc. It may cause a malfunction.  
On power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source 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, grasp the plug itself; never pull  
the cord.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
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.  
Projection televisions are especially  
susceptible to this.  
• Should the AC power cord need to be  
changed, have it done at a qualified service  
shop only.  
On transporting the player  
On placement  
Before transporting the player, follow the  
procedure below to return the internal  
mechanisms to their original positions.

power indicator lights up in red.  
On operation  
• 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.  
Disconnect the AC power cord.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
• When you move the player, take out any  
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be  
damaged.

Notes about the Discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it

operation, remove the burrs by rubbing the  
edge of the disc with the side of a pen or  
pencil. Check all of the discs in the two slots  
to the left and right of the center slot,  
including the center slot.  
Burrs  
Pen or pencil  
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.

The playback order of albums and tracks  
recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.  
About MP3 audio tracks  
You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-  
ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the  
discs must be recorded according to ISO9660  
level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player  
to recognize the tracks.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi

See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device  
or recording software (not supplied) for  
details on the recording format.  
To play a Multi Session CD  
This player can play Multi Session CDs when  
an MP3 audio track is located in the first  
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks,  
recorded in the later sessions, can also be  
played back.  
When audio tracks and images in music CD  
format or Video CD format are recorded in  
the first session, only the first session will be  
played back.  
album  
track  
When you play a DATA CD from its  
beginning (page 33), the numbered tracks are  
played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any  
sub-albums/tracks contained within a  
currently selected album take priority over  
the next album in the same tree. (Example: C  
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)  
When you press MENU and the list of MP3  
albums appears (page 43), the albums are  
arranged in the following order: A t B t  
C t D t F t G. Albums that do not  
contain tracks (such as album E) do not  
appear in the list.  
z Hints  
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front  
of the track names, the tracks will be played in  
that order.  
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start  
playback, it is recommended that you create the  
albums no more than two trees.

Storing a picture in memory  
When “ PROGRESSIVE” is  
selected in “ COMPONENT OUT”  
The player can store one scene in memory for  
both the background and startup screen.  
During playback, when you find a scene to be  
stored in memory, slide the TV/DISC  
EXPLORER/DVD switch to TV or DVD and  
press PICTURE MEMORY.  
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p)  
video signal output when you select  
“PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT  
OUT” of the “SCREEN SETUP” display and  
connect the player to the TV that is able to  
accept the video signal in progressive format  
(480p).  
The picture is stored in memory.  
MODE (Conversion Modes)  
DVD software can be divided into two types:  
film based software and video based  
software. Video based software is derived  
from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and  
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per  
second. Film based software is derived from  
film and displays images at 24 frames per  
second. Some DVD software contains both  
Video and Film.  
In order for these images to appear natural on  
your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE  
mode (60 frames per second), the progressive  
video signal needs to be converted to match  
the type of DVD software that you are  
watching.  
Note  
If you operate the player while the picture is being  
stored in memory, the player will fail to store the  
picture.  
COMPONENT OUT  
This will change the type of signal output  
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT  
jacks on the player. See page 100 for more  
information about the different types.

connected to a standard  
(interlace format) TV.  
This will set the conversion  
mode for Video based  
software, regardless of the type  
of software that you are  
playing.  
PROGRESSIVE Select this when you have  
a TV that can accept  
progressive signals.  
z Hint  
When the player outputs progressive signals, the

progressive signals, sections of some types of  
images may appear unnatural due to the conversion  
process when output through the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO  
OUTPUT 1/2 and VIDEO OUTPUT 1/2 jacks are  
unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.  
Note  
If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect  
the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in  
progressive format (480p), the image quality will  
deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUTPUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the  
back panel of the player to INTERLACE. When  
you can see the TV screen correctly, set  
“COMPONENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” and  
reset the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT/SCAN

DVD VIDEO (page 6)  
Glossary  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same  
as a CD.  
Chapter (page 10, 14, 63)  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-  
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7  
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a  
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5  
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is  
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided  
DVD is 17 GB.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one  
of the worldwide standards of digital  
compression technology. The picture data is  
compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its  
original size. The DVD also uses a variable  
rate coding technology that changes the data  
to be allocated according to the status of the  
picture. Audio information is recorded in a  
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,  
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio  
presence.  
Sections of a picture or a music feature that  
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of  
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no  
chapters may be recorded.  
Dolby Digital (page 28, 94)  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This  
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround  
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is  
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.  
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete  
channels of high quality digital audio found in  
Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good  
channel separation is realized because all of  
the channel data are recorded discretely and  
little deterioration is realized because all  
channel data processing is digital.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 27, 94)  
Audio signal processing technology that  
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround  
sound. When the input signal contains a  
surround component, the Pro Logic process  
outputs the front, center and rear signals. The  
rear channel is monaural.  
DVD-RW (page 6, 41)  
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable  
disc with the same size as the DVD VIDEO.  
The DVD-RW can be recorded in two  
different modes: VR mode and Video mode.  
VR (Video Recording) mode enables various  
programming and editing functions, some of  
which are limited in the case of Video mode.  
Video mode complies with DVD VIDEO  
format and can be played on other DVD  
players while a DVD-RW recorded in VR  
mode can only be played on DVD-RW  
compliant players. The “DVD-RW”  
DTS (page 28, 71, 95)  
Digital audio compression technology that  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This  
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround  
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is  
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.  
DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels  
of high quality digital audio.  
appearing in this manual, and the on-screen  
displays refer to DVD-RWs in VR mode.  
Good channel separation is realized because  
all of the channel data is recorded discretely  
and little deterioration is realized because all  
channel data processing is digital.  
Film based software, Video based  
software (page 91)  
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.

Interlace format (page 91)  
Interlace format shows every other line of an  
image as a single “field” and is the standard  
method for displaying images on television.  
The even number field shows the even  
numbered lines of an image, and the odd  
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines  
of an image.  
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page  
10, 14, 63)  
A number that divides a track into sections to  
easily locate the point you want on a CD or  
VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index  
may be recorded.  
Progressive format (page 91)  
Compared to the Interlace format that  
alternately shows every other line of an image  
(field) to create one frame, the Progressive  
format shows the entire image at once as a  
single frame. This means that while the  
Interlace format can show 30 frames (60  
fields) in one second, the Progressive format  
can show 60 frames in one second. The  
overall picture quality increases and still  
images, text, and horizontal lines appear  
sharper. This player is compatible with the  
480 progressive format.  
Scene (page 10)  
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback  
control) functions, the menu screens, moving  
pictures and still pictures are divided into  
sections called “scenes.”  
Title (page 10, 14, 63)  
The longest section of a picture or music  
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video  
software, or the entire album in audio  
software.  
Track (page 10, 14, 63)  
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a  
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
