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.

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 unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit 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

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 unit in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the unit 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 unit.  
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.

Power consumption  
This movie theater sound format is more  
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In  
this format, the surround speakers output stereo  
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a  
subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. This format is also  
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel  
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions  
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
since all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth  
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is  
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix  
surround decoder that extracts the spatial  
properties of the original recording without  
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.  
x Movie mode  
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television  
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby  
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field  
directionality that approaches the quality of  
discrete 5.1-channel sound.  
x Music mode  
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music  
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound  
space.  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four  
channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with  
the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right  
panning more naturally and localizes sounds  
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of

DTS  
Super Audio CD  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format  
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is  
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS  
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high  
quality digital audio. The good channel  
separation is realized due to the all channel data  
being recorded discretely and processed in  
digitally.  
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio  
disc standard where music is recorded in the  
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format  
(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM  
format). The DSD format, using a sampling  
frequency 64 times higher than that of a  
conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,  
achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide  
dynamic range across the audible frequency  
range, and so provides music reproduction  
extremely faithful to the original sound.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface)  
x Super Audio CD types  
There are two types of discs, depending on the  
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer  
combination.  
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.

Parental Control  
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the
