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  
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.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and  
may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 480 progressive scan picture problems, it is  
recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions  
regarding your TV set compatibility with this 480p DVD player model, please contact our customer service

Using the PROGRESSIVE button  
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in

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)

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.  
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.

unaffected. This feature is useful when you  
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the  
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at  
low volume.  
Select “OFF” in step 2.  
For 2 speaker setups  
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.  
◆TVS STANDARD  
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers  
from the sound of the actual front speakers (L,  
R) as shown below. This mode is effective  
when you use 2 separate speakers.  
L
R
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” and  
“DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO  
SETUP”(page 81).  
◆TVS DYNAMIC  
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from  
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without  
using actual rear speakers (shown below).  
This mode is effective when the distance  
between the front L and R speakers is short,  
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

sound of the rear speakers away from the  
actual speaker position or create entire sets of  
virtual rear speakers from one set of actual  
rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”

recorded in the first session, the player will  
also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image  
files in other sessions. If audio tracks and  
images in Music CD format or Video CD  
format are recorded in the first session, only

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.  
File (page 62, 65)  
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD  
(“File” is an exclusive definition for this  
player.) A single file consist of a single  
image.  
Film based software, Video based  
software (page 21)  
DVD VIDEO (page 8)  
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.  
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 (24 frames/50 fields) per  
second.  
Normal (Interlace) format (page 21)  
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.  
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.

Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual  
HD layers on one side only, you do not have  
to turn the disc over during playback.  
Progressive format (page 21)  
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 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  
480 progressive format.  
HD layer  
HD layer  
• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)  
This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD  
layer. Also, as the dual layers are on one  
side only, you do not have to turn the disc  
over during playback. You can play the CD  
layer using a conventional CD player.  
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.

Super Audio CD (page 8)  
Title (page 15)  
A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds  
that are extremely faithful to the original  
sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)  
technology. This technology utilizes a  
sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is  
64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit  
quantization that enables the disc to hold 4  
times the amount of information that a  
standard PCM format CD can hold. Super  
Audio CDs are divided into the following  
types.  
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 15)  
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a  
VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (the length of  
a song). (“Track” in DATA-CD is an
