On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to  
a section with very low level inputs or no  
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be  
damaged when a peak level section is played.  
Precautions  
On safety  
Caution The use of optical instruments  
with this product will increase eye hazard.  
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.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
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  
Do not use a commercially available cleaning  
disc. It may cause a malfunction.  
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.  
On placement  
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 that might block the  
ventilation holes.  
Do not place the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical  
shock.  
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.  
When you move the player, take out any  
discs. If you dont, the disc may be  
damaged.

Note  
Notes about the Discs  
Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, or DVD-RWs  
(in video mode) cannot be played on this player due  
to the recording quality or physical condition of the  
disc, or the characteristics of the recording device.  
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been  
correctly finalized. For more information, see the  
operating instructions for the recording device.  
Note that discs created in the Packet Write format  
cannot be played.  
To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
Note on playback operations of  
DVDs and VIDEO CDs  
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.  
Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the centre out.  
Some playback operations of DVDs and  
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by  
software producers. Since this player plays  
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc  
contents the software producers designed,  
some playback features may not be available.  
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with  
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO  
SETUP,” no sound will come from your speakers  
if you select one of the TVS modes.

Glossary  
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.  
Chapter (page 9)  
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 24, 70)  
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.  
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page  
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.  
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 23)  
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, centre and rear signals. The  
rear channel is monaural.  
MPEG audio (page 24, 70)  
International standard coding system used to  
compress audio digital signals authorized by  
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-  
channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs,  
conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.  
DTS (page 24, 70)  
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.  
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.
