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 cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners  
On power sources  
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause  
the player to malfunction.  
Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.  
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the  
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned  
off.  
On cleaning the video heads  
Install this system so that the power cord can be  
unplugged from the wall socket immediately in  
the event of trouble.  
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do  
not intend to use it for an extended period of  
time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the

contamination  
terminal  
When the video heads are dirty, clean the video  
heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If  
a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your  
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony  
dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do  
not use a commercially available liquid type  
cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video  
heads.  
On operation  
When you move the player, take out any discs. If  
you don’t, the disc may be damaged.  
On replacement of parts  
In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired parts  
may be collected for reuse or recycling purposes.  
If the unit 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 and cause damage to the video  
head, tape, and the optical block. Should this  
occur, the player may not operate properly.  
When you first install the player, or when you  
move it from a cold to a warm location, remove  
the disc and tape and leave the player turned on  
for about three hours before operating the  
player.

(playback only) labeled with identical region codes.  
This system is used to protect copyrights.  
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-  
Rs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this

condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the  
recording device and authoring software.  
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly  
finalized. For more information, refer to the  
operating instructions for the recording device.  
Note that some playback functions may not  
work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if  
they have been correctly finalized. In this case,  
view the disc by normal playback. Also some  
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet  
Write format cannot be played.  
ALL  
DVDs labeled  
will also play on this player.  
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, a  
message will appear on the TV screen to indicate  
that the disc is not playable. Depending on the DVD

• A disc with paper or stickers on it.  
• A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape  
or a sticker still left on it.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD  
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.  
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions  
when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To  
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be  
connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.  
Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD  
Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio  
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the  
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP”  
menu (page 44), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.  
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track  
DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack.  
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”  
If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to  
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 44). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,  
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

If both video data and MP3 audio tracks exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only  
the video data.  
This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling  
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different  
specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage.  
Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.  
The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks  
The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is  
as follows.  
• Structure of disc contents  
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5  
album  
track  
When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press H PLAY, the numbered  
tracks are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained  
within a currently selected album does not take priority over the next album in the  
same tree. (Example: E contains G but 6 is played before 7.)  
When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 70), the  
albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t D t E t F t G.  
Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list.

Tips  
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be  
played in that order.  
A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be  
played back.  
Notes  
Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback  
order may differ from the illustration above.  
No more than 250 albums can be recognized.  
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.  
Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are  
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first  
9 MP3 files can be recognized.

DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-  
sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and  
double-sided DVD is 17GB.  
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.  
Dolby Digital (pages 22 and 45)  
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.  
Dolby Surround (page 23)  
Audio signal processing technology that  
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround  
sound. When the input signal contains a  
surround component, the process outputs the  
front, center and rear signals. The rear  
channel is monaural.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable  
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.  
Contents can be recorded only once to a  
DVD+R, and will have the same format as a  
DVD VIDEO.  
Digital audio compression technology that  
DTS, 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.  
A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the  
same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be  
recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will  
have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.  
The DVD-R has two different modes:  
VR mode and Video mode. DVDs 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 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.  
Interlace format  
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 (pages 21 and 48)  
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.  
The longest section of a picture or music  
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video  
software, or the entire album in audio  
software.  
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a  
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).

Videograbadora-DVD a su videograbadora utilizando un cable de audio/vídeo. De  
esta forma, podrá ver y grabar programas de TV.  
La Videograbadora-DVD no podrá grabar programas si usted tiene:  
– un decodificador de cable sin salidas de audio/vídeo.  
– cable sin decodificador de cable.  
– solamente antena (no TV por cable).  
En este caso, consulte con el proveedor CATV que haya contratado (o el más cercano).
