MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is
image compression technology.
When the sound does not match the pictures on
the TV screen, you can adjust the delay between
the picture and sound.

JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be
recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level

About DVD software types and
the conversion method
• “480p*”: Sends [720 × 480p] video
signals.
DVD software can be divided into 2 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.
• “720p*”: Sends [1280 × 720p] video
signals.
• “1080i*”: Sends [1920 × 1080i] video
signals.
* i: interlace, p: progressive
Note
• When “HDMI” lights up in the front panel display,
images other than [720 × 480p] are stretched
vertically.

Additional Information
Precautions
On cleaning
On power sources
• 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.
• Unplug the subwoofer 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 plug, never by
the cord.
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 control 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 control unit can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the control unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies)
that may block the ventilation slots.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may cause
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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE

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 control unit in an inclined position.
It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position
only.
• Keep the control unit and discs away from equipment
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the
control unit.
• Do not place anything on the control unit and the
subwoofer.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
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.
1 Press Z to remove a disc.
Make sure that a disc is removed from the
control unit.
2 Press "/1 to turn off the power.
3 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead)

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.
• Press "/1 after all indications disappear from the
front panel display.
• After connecting the AC power cord (mains lead),
wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power
by pressing "/1.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
If “PROTECTOR” and “PUSH POWER” appear
alternately in the front panel display.
Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the
following items after “STANDBY” disappears.
• Are the 3 and # speaker cords short-circuited?
• Are you using only the specified speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation slots of the
system?
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
Check the above items and fix any problems. After
“STANDBY” disappears, wait about 20 seconds
before turning on the power by pressing "/1. If the
cause of the problem cannot be found even after
checking all the above items, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.

DTS
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.
Glossary
Album
Section of a music piece or an image on a data
CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.
Chapter
Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is
composed of several chapters.

a CD.
environment in a short period of time.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times
that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and
a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of
a worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also
uses the variable rate coding technology that
processes allocated data according to the status
of the picture.
Dolby Digital
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.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more
realistic audio presence.
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.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such
as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
DVD+RW
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.
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.
DVD-RW
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.
x Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound
space.

File
Multi-angle function
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/DATA
DVD. (“File” is an exclusive definition for this
system.) A single file consists of a single image
or movie.
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Film based software, Video based
software
Parental Control
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 (or 60 fields) per second.
A DVD function to limit playback of the disc by
users of a predetermined age 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,
etc.
HDMI (high-definition multimedia
interface)
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
A method for converting analog audio to digital
audio. It is used for the Compact Disc (CD)
audio format.
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
contents protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding technology
for digital video signals.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)
to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing
simple interactive programs, programs with
search functions, and so on.
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.
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.
Mica-reinforced-cellular-diaphragm
The Mica-reinforced-cellular-diaphragm is
made of a light weight and highly rigid
composite material that consists of Mica flake
and synthetic fiber.
It is constructed with layers of Mica flake. This
construction realizes diaphragm with low
density and high rigidity at the same time.
In this system, a Mica-reinforced-cellular-
diaphragm is used for the subwoofer.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD system
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each
region code is shown on the system as well as on
the disc packaging. The system can play discs
that match its region code. The system can also
ALL
play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the
MPEG audio
region code is not shown on the DVD, the region
limit may still apply.
A coding system to compress digital audio
signals. MPEG-1 is used for MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer-3). MPEG-2 is used for one of the
audio format of DVD.

S-master
S-master is an all-digital amplifier technology
developed by Sony, which effectively
minimizes the occurrence of sound
fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb
dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the
original sound. The compact amplifier section
supports a higher power efficiency and
improved thermal performance.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures
and still pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes.”
Title
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
Section of a picture or a music piece on a
VIDEO CD, CD, or MP3. An album is
composed of several tracks (MP3 only).
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of
a worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while sounds we can hear are not
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold six times the
audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are two versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
