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 are not met.  
x “INTERLACE”  
Select this setting when:  
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,  
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR

You cannot select INTERLACE while “HDMI” lights up in the front panel display.  
About DVD software types and the conversion method  
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.  
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.  
• Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR  
OUT (S VIDEO or VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.  
• For details on changing the HDMI resolution, see “Settings for the Display” (page 80).

sound from two front speakers and a subwoofer.  
You can take advantage of this front surround  
sound simply by selecting one of system's  
preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the  
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters  
into your home.  
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround  
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic  
data accumulated as a result) has led to the  
development of an all-new processing method  
and advanced DSP to handle this task  
effectively, and which we call S-Force PRO  
Front Surround. Compared with previous front  
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front  
Surround reproduces a more convincing sense of  
distance and space, resulting in a true surround  
sound experience without the need for rear  
speakers.

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.  
• 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 plug, never by  
the cord.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
• Clean the top panel with a soft cloth lightly. Do not  
wipe the top panel of the unit where there is dust or  
sand as it may be damaged.  
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  
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 farther away from the set.  
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)  
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block  
the ventilation slots.  
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as  
radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or  
large loudspeakers.  
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.  
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with  
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large  
loudspeakers.  
• Do not place anything on the top panel of the unit. Do  
not place heavy objects on the unit as it may be  
damaged.  
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of 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 system. 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.

unit.  
• 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.  
2 Press Z.  
3 Press [/1 to turn off the power.  
4 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead)  
from the wall outlet (mains).  
• 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.

• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.  
• The system is connected to an input device that is  
not HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content  
protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel  
does not light up). See page 98.  
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.  
• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output,  
changing the [HDMI RESOLUTION] setting in  
[SCREEN SETUP] may solve the problem  
(page 80).  
Connect the TV and the system 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 [HDMI  
RESOLUTION] setting in [SCREEN SETUP],  
and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the  
picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and  
try other options.  
Note that if service personnel changes some  
parts during repair, these parts may be retained.  
Power

some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet  
is employed. If this happens, check the following  
items:  
• The video input on the TV is not set so that you  
can view pictures from the system.  
• 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) (page 23).  
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or  
projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 m (1.0 ft)  
from the TV set.  
• 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) (page 23).  
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set  
once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

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.  
• Standby power consumption 0.3 W.  
• Halogenated flame retardants are not  
used in the printed wiring boards.  
• Over 85 % power efficiency of  
amplifier block is achieved with the  
full digital amplifier, S-master.  
• Halogenated flame retardants are not  
used in cabinets.  
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.  
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.

DVD  
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays  
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same as  
a CD.  
HDMI (high-definition multimedia  
interface)  
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.  
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as  
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more  
realistic audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such  
as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental  
Control functions are provided with the DVD.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
MPEG audio  
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.  
Multi-angle function  
File  
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the  
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.  
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.  
Multilingual function  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a  
picture are recorded on some DVDs.  
Film based software, Video based  
software  
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,

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

S-master  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes,  
etc.  
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.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
A method for converting analog audio to digital  
audio. It is used for the Compact Disc (CD)  
audio format.  
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.  
Scene  
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)  
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures  
and still pictures are divided into sections called  
“scenes.”  
Progressive format  
(sequential scanning)  
Super Audio CD  
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio  
disc standard where music is recorded in the  
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format  
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, 625 lines for the  
PAL 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.  
(conventional CDs are 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.  
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  
x Types of Super Audio CDs  
There are two types of discs, depending on the  
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer  
combination.  
ALL  
• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density  
signal layer for Super Audio CD  
• CD layer1): A layer that is readable by a  
conventional CD player  
play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the  
region code is not shown on the DVD, the region  
limit may still apply.  
S-Force PRO Front Surround  
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround  
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic  
data accumulated as a result) has led to the  
development of all-new processing method and  
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively,  
and which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround.  
Compared with previous front surround  
technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround  
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance  
and space, resulting in a true surround sound  
experience without the need for rear speakers.

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, Super Audio 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.
