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
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 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. Plasma
display panel televisions and projection
televisions are 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.
• Do not place the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
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 don’t, the disc may be
damaged.

Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs
progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO
m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
◆PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and
selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
◆PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
◆About DVD software types and the conversion method
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 (25 frames/50 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 format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Notes
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in
the normal (interlace) format.
• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each time the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).

contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files.
– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*
image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image
standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
Notes
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the
player can play
• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may
generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.
• The player does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
• You cannot play MP3 audio tracks/JPEG image
files in DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that contain
DivX video files.
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio
Layer III) and JPEG format.
However, this player only plays DATA CDs
whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/
Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of
Universal Disk Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with the
disc drives and the recording software (not

When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD
and press H, the numbered tracks (or files)
are played sequentially, from 1 through 7.
Any sub-albums/tracks (or files) 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.)
About playback order of albums,
tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
◆Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
When you press MENU and the list of album
are arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums

album E) do not appear in the list.
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track/file names when you store the tracks
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD/DATA DVD, the playback order may
differ from the above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable
if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/
files in each album.
Album Track or file
• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the
player will count just albums, including albums
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files). The player will not play any albums
beyond the 200th album.

format shows the entire image at once as a
single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames
(50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive
format can show 50-60 frames in one second.
The overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper. This player is compatible with the
525 or 625 progressive format.
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.
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.
Progressive JPEG
Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the
internet. They are different from other JPEGs
in that they “fade in” gradually instead of
being drawn from top to bottom when
displayed on a browser. This lets you view the
image while it is being downloaded.
A JPEG image or DivX video recorded on a
DATA CD/DATA DVD (“File” is an
exclusive definition for this player.) A single
