Safeguards  
Cleaning  
For your protection, please read these safety  
instructions completely before operating the appliance,  
and keep this manual for future reference.  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet  
before cleaning or polishing it. Do  
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

Installation  
Power sources  
This set should be operated only  
Water and Moisture  
Do not use power-line operated sets  
near water - for example, near a  
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or  
near a swimming pool, etc.  
from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If  
you are not sure of the type of  
electrical power supplied to your  
home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
For those sets designed to operate from battery power,  
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.  
Power-Cord Protection  
Route the power cord so that it is  
not likely to be walked on or  
pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular  
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where  
the cord exits from the appliance.  
US  
Grounding or Polarization  
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord  
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or  
with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a  
third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions  
below:  
Accessories  
Do not place the set on an  
unstable cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The set may  
fall, causing serious injury to a  
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use  
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
For the set with a polarized AC power  
cord plug:  
This plug will fit into the power  
outlet only one way. This is a  
safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not  
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by  
forcing it in.  
An appliance and cart combination  
should be moved with care. Quick  
stops, excessive force, and uneven  
surfaces may cause the appliance  
and cart combination to overturn.  
For the set with a three-wire grounding  
type AC plug:  
This plug will only fit into a  
S3125A  
grounding-type power outlet. This  
is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug into the  
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet  
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
grounding plug.  
Ventilation  
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for  
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots  
and openings must never be blocked or covered.  
•
•
Never cover the slots and  
openings with a cloth or  
other materials.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets,  
extension cords or convenience  
receptacles beyond their capacity,  
since this can result in fire or  
electric shock.  
Never block the slots and  
openings by placing the set  
on a bed, sofa, rug or other  
similar surface.  
Object and Liquid Entry  
Never push objects of any kind into  
the set through openings as they  
may touch dangerous voltage points  
or short out parts that could result in  
a fire or electric shock. Never spill  
liquid of any kind on the set.

confined space, such as a  
bookcase, or built-in  
cabinet, unless proper  
ventilation is provided.  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing  
to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
Do not place the set near or  
over a radiator or heat  
register, or where it is  
•
When the power cord or plug is  
damaged or frayed.  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
Antennas  
•
If liquid has been spilled or  
objects have fallen into the  
set.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed,  
follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the  
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light  
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with  
such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA  
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER  
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide  
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static  
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code  
provides information with respect to proper grounding of  
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in  
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the  
grounding electrode.  
•
•
If the set has been exposed  
to rain or water.  
If the set has been  
subject to excessive  
shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet  
has been damaged.  
•
If the set does not operate  
normally when following  
the operating instructions.  
Adjust only those controls  
that are specified in the  
operating instructions. Improper adjustment  
of other controls may result in damage and  
will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the set to normal  
operation.  
Antenna Grounding According to the  
National Electrical Code  
•
When the set exhibits a distinct change in  
performance - this indicates a need for service.

by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics  
as the original parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.  
NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
Lightning  
For added protection for this set during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long  
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will  
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-  
line surges.  
Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or  
repairs to the set, ask the service  
technician to perform routine  
safety checks (as specified by the  
manufacturer) to determine that  
the set is in safe operating  
condition.

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  
• 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 power sources  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners  
Do not use a commercially available  
cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or  
spray type). These may cause the  
apparatus to malfunction.  
• 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. 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.  
• Do not install the player in an inclined  
position. It is designed to be operated in a  
horizontal position only.  
• Keep the player and the discs away from  
equipment with strong magnets, such as  
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.  
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 sitcoms, 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 format,  
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are  
watching.  
Note  
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.

technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo  
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in  
this format. DTS provides the same 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.  
correctly.  
To prevent a malfunction, the  
(xx is a number) player has performed the  
self-diagnosis function.

DVD VIDEO (page 8)  
Film based software, Video based  
software (page 20)  
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 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, a  
worldwide standard 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 realistic audio  
presence.  
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/60 fields per second.  
Normal (Interlace) format (page 20)  
Normal (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.  
Progressive format (page 20)  
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.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
DVD-RW (page 8)  
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.  
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.  
DVD+RW (page 8)  
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.  
Title (page 12)  
The longest section of a picture or music  
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video  
software, or the entire album in audio  
software.  
File (page 56, 59)  
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/  
DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive  
definition for this player.) A single file

– esté conectado a las tomas COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (salida de vídeo componente).  
Normalmente seleccione este ajuste si se cumple la condición anterior. Detectará en forma  
automática el tipo de software y seleccionará el método de conversión adecuado.  
Tenga presente que si selecciona estos ajustes y no se cumple ninguna de las condiciones

Seleccione este ajuste cuando:  
– el televisor acepte señales progresivas y  
– esté conectado a las tomas COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (salida de vídeo componente) y  
– desea fijar el método de conversión en PROGRESSIVE VIDEO (progresivo video) para el  
software basado en video. Seleccione este ajuste si la imagen no es nítida cuando selecciona  
PROGRESSIVE AUTO (progresivo automático).  
Tenga presente que si selecciona estos ajustes y no se cumple ninguna de las condiciones  
mencionadas anteriormente, la imagen no será nítida o no aparecerá ninguna imagen.  
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE) (normal (entrelazado))  
Seleccione este ajuste cuando:  
– el televisor no acepte señales progresivas o  
– esté conectado a tomas que no sean las tomas COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (salida de vídeo  
componente), (LINE OUT (VIDEO) (salida línea (vídeo)) o S VIDEO OUT (salida de s  
vídeo)).  
Acerca de los tipos de software de DVD (videodisco digital) y el método de conversión  
El software de DVD (videodisco digital) puede dividirse en dos tipos: el software basado en cine  
y el software basado en video. El software basado en video proviene de programas de televisión,  
como telenovelas y comedias, y muestra imágenes a 30 fotogramas/60 campos por segundo. El  
software basado en cine proviene de películas y muestra imágenes a 24 fotogramas por segundo.  
Existe software de DVD (videodisco digital) que contiene tanto video como películas.  
Para que estas imágenes parezcan naturales en la pantalla cuando se emiten en formato  
progresivo, las señales progresivas deben convertirse para que coincidan con el tipo de software  
de DVD (videodisco digital) que está viendo.  
Nota  
Si reproduce software basado en video en formato de señales progresivas, es posible que algunas partes de  
determinados tipos de imágenes no parezcan naturales debido al proceso de conversión si se emiten mediante  
las tomas COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (salida de vídeo componente). Las imágenes emitidas a través de las
