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  
cleaners. Use a cloth lightly  
dampened with water for cleaning  
the exterior of the set.  
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and  
instructions on the appliance, or the one described in  
the operating instructions and adhere to them.  
Use  
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.  
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.

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.

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.

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 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).

Settings (TVS)  
You can check the audio signal format by  
pressing AUDIO repeatedly during playback.  
The format of the current audio signal (Dolby  
Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) appears as shown  
below.  
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front  
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets  
you enjoy surround sound effects by using  
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers  
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,  
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.  
TVS was developed by Sony to produce  
surround sound for home use using just a  
stereo TV.  
Example:  
Dolby Digital 5.1 ch  
Rear (L/R)  
This only works when playing a multichannel  
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the  
player is set up to output the signal from the  
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)  
jack, the surround effect will be heard only  
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-  
PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 65).

The data capacity of a single-layer and single-

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided  
DVD is 17 GB.  
Normal (Interlace) format (page 19)  
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.  
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.  
Progressive format (page 19)  
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 7)  
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 7)  
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 11)  
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 49, 52)  
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/  
DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive  
definition for this player.) A single file  
consist of a single image.  
Film based software, Video based  
software (page 19)  
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.
