Note about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW  
In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system  
due to the recording quality or physical 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.  
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies  
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some  
record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the  
CD standard and may not be playable by this product.  
Note on DualDiscs  
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital  
audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the  
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Notes on files  
• The system include albums that do not contain audio  
files and JPEG image files. When more than 648 files  
(including folders) + 2 default folders (‘.’ and ‘..’ ),  
300 folders Max (including ‘.’ and ‘..’) are in the  
USB device, folders that are recognized by the  
system differ depending on the folder configuration.  
• The system can play back the following files.  
File  
Extension of the file  
“.mp3”  
MP3 file  
WMA file  
JPEG image file  
MPEG  
“.wma”  
“.jpg” or “.jpeg”  
“.MPG”  
DivX  
“.DivX” or “.AVI”  
The system will play back any data with the  
extension above, even if it is not MP3/WMA/JPEG  
format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise  
which could damage your speaker system. The  
system can play back to a depth of 25 folders only.  
Notes on MP3/JPEG files  
• The system supports MP3 files recorded with a bit  
rate of 32 to 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of  
32/44.1/48 kHz for MPEG1 Audio Layer-3.  
• If you put the extension “. MP3” to data not in MP3  
format, the system cannot recognize the data  
properly and will generate a loud noise which could  
damage your speaker system.  
Notes on DivX files  
• The system may not play a DivX file when the file has  
been combined from two or more DivX files.  
• The system cannot play a DivX file of size more than  
640 (width) × 480 (height).  
• Depending on the DivX file, the picture may be  
unclear or the sound may skip.  
• The system cannot play some DivX files that are  
longer than 3 hours.  
• Depending on the DivX file, the picture may pause or  
be unclear. In which case, it is recommended that you  
create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound is still  
noisy, MP3 is the recommended audio format. Note,

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 suddenly played.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On power sources  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if you  
do not intend to use it for an extended period of time.  
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never  
by the cord.  
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.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet  
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.  
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do  
not place the system in a confined space where  
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the system can overheat and malfunction.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens  
cleaners  
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause the  
apparatus to malfunction.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have  
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the TV set.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still  
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as  
radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or  
shock.  
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.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the system and discs away from components  
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or  
large loudspeakers.  
On moving the system  
Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.  
On operation  
• If the system 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 control unit.  
Should this occur, the system may not operate  
properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the  
system turned on for about half an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you  
don’t, the disc may be damaged.  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.

Notes about the Discs  
On handling discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in  
a car parked in direct sunlight as the  
temperature may rise considerably inside the  
car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
This system can only play back a standard  
circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular  
discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause  
a malfunction.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.

Troubleshooting  
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting  
guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.  
Power  
Symptom  
Remedy  
The power is not turned on.  
When USB is not detected.  
• Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is connected securely.  
• Remove the USB device from the (USB) port. Make sure there is no problem  
with the USB device.  
Picture  
Symptom  
Remedy  
There is no picture.  
• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.  
• The video connecting cords are damaged.  
• The control unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 10).  
• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures.  
• Check the output method on your system(page 10).  
• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in  
progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the  
default setting).  
• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the  
image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the  
setting to interlace format (the default setting).  
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.  
• The control unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-  
bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant (page 10).  
• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, changing the type of video  
signal output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem.  
Connect the TV and the control unit using a video jack other than the HDMI  
OUT, and switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so that you can  
see the on-screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the  
HDMI OUT jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still  
does not appear, repeat the Steps and try other options.  
• You have set [Progressive] in [Video Setup Page] to [On] (page 29) even  
though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In this case, set to [Off].  
Picture noise appears.

• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your  
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could effect  
picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your  
control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your control unit to your TV’s  
video input (page 10).

Glossary  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface)  
HDMI is an interface that supports both video  
and audio on a single digital connection,  
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital  
picture and sound. The HDMI specification  
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection), a copy protection  
technology that incorporates coding technology  
for digital video signals.  
Interlace format  
(Interlaced scanning)  
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard  
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames  
per second. Each frame is scanned twice -  
alternately between the even numbered scanning  
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at  
60 times per second.  
Parental Control  
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the  
disc by the age of the users according to the  
limitation level in each country. The limitation  
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated,  
playback is completely prohibited, violent  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes  
and so on.  
Progressive format  
(sequential scanning)  
In contrast to the Interlace format, the  
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames  
per second by reproducing all scanning lines  
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall  
picture quality increases and still images, text  
and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format  
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive  
format.
