Precautions  
On safety  
On transporting the system  
• Follow the instructions below before transporting the  
system to prevent any damage to the DVD player if  
dropped accidentally:  
1 Remove all discs from the disc trays.  
If you leave any discs inside the disc trays, you may  
not be able to remove them later.  
2 Press A of DISC 1 and place the dummy disc on the  
disc tray. Do not press A of DISC 1 again to close  
the disc tray.  
3 Press ?/1.  
The disc tray closes automatically, and the system  
turns off.  
4 After the front panel display turns off, unplug the AC  
power cord.  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this  
product will increase eye hazard.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
On power sources  
• The system is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.  
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be  
sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To  
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the  
plug itself; never pull the cord.  
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be  
changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.  
5 Remove both of the front speakers from the main  
units.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation  
to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
Front speaker  
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug  
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.  
• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources,  
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might  
block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.  
• Place the system on a horizontal surface.  
Main 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.  
• Check that the power of all the components is off and  
all operations are completed before transporting the  
system.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On adjusting volume  
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion  
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you  
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level  
portion is played.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: The enclosed 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 very susceptible.  
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.  
• Clean the disc tray if it becomes dusty.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color  
irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the set.

Notes on Discs  
Note on DVD 5-disc changer  
with EXCHANGE  
mechanism  
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.  
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,  
remove the glue completely before using the disc.  
You can change other discs while playing a disc  
(EXCHANGE mechanism).  
Disc changer system  
Stocker  
• 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 there can be considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.

Disc  
tray  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
• Do not use discs fitted with a protection ring. This may  
cause the system to malfunction.  
Playing unit  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
The disc changer consists of a playing unit, trays  
which hold the discs, and a stocker which transports  
the discs on their trays to the disc slot and the  
playing unit.  
For example, if you press DISC 3, the stocker moves  
until the DISC 3 tray comes to the position of the  
playing unit and then moves the DISC 3 tray over the  
playing unit. If you press A of DISC 4 while playing  
DISC 3, the stocker leaves the DISC 3 tray over the  
playing unit, moves so that the DISC 4 tray comes to  
the position of the disc cover, opens the disc cover  
and pushes out the DISC 4 tray (EXCHANGE  
mechanism).  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
Note  
Noise may come from the disc changer when changing  
discs or turning the system on and off. However, this is just  
noise produced by the operation of the internal  
mechanisms and does not indicate a malfunction.

Speaker Setup  
zPositioning the center and rear speakers for better surround  
For the best possible surround sound all the speakers  
other than the subwoofer should be the same distance  
from the listening position (A).  
However, this system lets you to place the center speaker  
up to 5 feet closer (B) and the rear speakers up to 15 feet  
closer (C) to the listening position.

For better surround sound quality, position each speaker as  
shown below. Each rear speaker should be placed as its  
tweeter is on the inner side.  
The grille can be detached to visually verify the orientation.  
The “SONY” logo on each satellite speakers can be rotated to  
match the speaker’s orientation.  
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 15 feet (A)  
from the listening position.

Specifying the speaker parameters  
You can vary the distance of each speaker as follows. The  
default adjustments are in the parentheses.  
• FRONT (8 ft) (front speakers distance)  
Front speaker distance can be set in 1 foot steps from 3  
to 15 feet.  
• CENTER (8 ft) (center speaker distance)  
Center speaker distance can be set in 1 foot steps from a  
distance equal to the front speaker distance to a distance  
5 feet closer to your listening position.  
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify  
the distance of the speakers from your listening position,  
then set the balance and level. Use the test tone to adjust  
the speaker volumes to the same level.  
Details of each item will follow the description of the  
operation.  
You may adjust the speaker parameters using SPEAKER  
SETUP in the setup display (page 57).

Customizing Sound Fields  
By adjusting the surround parameters of the front, rear  
and center speakers, you can customize the sound fields  
to suit your particular listening situations.  
Adjusting the level parameters  
The level parameters let you adjust the balance and  
speaker volumes of each speaker. The settings available  
here are applied to all sound fields.  
However, the parameters you have already adjusted in  
“Speaker Setup” on page 18 need not to be adjusted again  
to customize the sound fields.  
Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored  
in memory indefinitely (unless the system is unplugged  
for about a day). You can change a customized sound  
field any time by making new adjustments to the  
parameters.  
1 Start playing a program source encoded with  
multi-channel surround sound.  
See the table on page 28 for the parameters available in  
each sound field.  
2 Press LEVEL.  
To get the most from multi-channel surround  
sound  
Position your speakers and do the procedures described  
in “Speaker Setup” starting on page 16 before you  
customize a sound field.  
3 Sit at your listening position and select the item to  
be adjusted using the M/m buttons.  
4 Adjust the volume level using the </, buttons.  
The adjusted value will appear on the front panel  
display. If you do not operate the remote for a few  
seconds, the value turns off and is stored in the  
system.

You do not have to adjust here. See page 18.  
x LEVEL  
You do not have to adjust here. See page 18.  
x LFE MIX (Low Frequency Effect mix level)  
Initial setting: –4 dB  
This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE  
(Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the  
subwoofer without effecting the level of the bass  
frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the front,  
center, or rear channels via the Dolby Digital (AC-3)  
bass redirection circuitry.  
• The level can be adjusted in 1 dB step from –20 dB to  
0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at  
the mix level determined by the recording engineer.  
• Selecting MUTING mutes the sound of the LFE  
channel from the subwoofer. However, the low  
frequency sounds of the front, center, or rear  
speakers are output from the subwoofer.

4 Adjust the volume level using the </, buttons.  
The adjusted value will appear on the front panel  
display. If you do not operate the remote for a few  
seconds, the value turns off and is stored in the  
system.  
zAbout the level differences in the LFE MIX settings  
The “dts LFE” level is set to +10 dB and “LFE MIX” (Dolby  
Digital) is set to 0 dB. This is because there is an initial difference  
of 10 dB in the overall mix between the Dolby Digital and dts  
LFE channel levels. Essentially, with the “dts LFE” level set to +10  
dB and the “LFE MIX (Dolby Digital)” level set to 0 dB,  
approximately the same amounts of LFE channel signal are  
distributed to the other audio channels in the overall mix.  
x EFFECT (Effect level)  
Initial setting: (depends on sound mode)  
This parameter lets you adjust the “presence” of the  
current surround effect.  
x D.COMP. (Dynamic range compressor)  
Initial setting: OFF  
x WALL (Wall type)  
This parameter lets you compress the dynamic range  
of the sound track.  
This may be useful when you want to watch movies at  
low volumes late at night.  
• OFF reproduces the sound track with no  
compression.  
• 0.1~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic range in  
small steps to achieve the sound you desire.  
• STD reproduces the sound track with the dynamic  
range intended by the recording engineer.  
• MAX provides a dramatic compression of the  
dynamic range.  
Initial setting: center  
When sound is reflected off soft materials, such as a  
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A  
hard wall is highly reflective and does not  
significantly effect the frequency response of the  
reflected sound. This parameter lets you control the  
level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic  
character of your listening environment by simulating  
a softer (S) or harder (H) wall. The center position  
designates a neutral wall (made of wood).  
x REVB. (Reverberation)  
Note  
Initial setting: center  
Dynamic range compression is only possible with Dolby Digital  
sources.  
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected  
(reverberated) many times between the left and right  
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes  
more time to bounce from one surface to another than  
in a smaller room. This parameter lets you control the  
spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically  
longer (L) or shorter (S) room.  
• The reverberation can be adjusted 6 from S (short,  
–6) to L (long, +6) in 13 steps.  
• The center position (0) designates a standard room  
with no adjustment.  
zAbout the Dynamic Range Compressor  
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the  
soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in  
the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is standard compression, but  
because many sources have only light compression, you may not  
notice much difference when using 0.1~ 0.9.  
Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly

predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

To reset all function buttons to their factory  
settings  
Press down ?/1, AV ?/1 and MASTER VOLUME –  
simultaneously, or uninstall the batteries once and press  
any key, then install them again.  
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-  
Sony components. Since the remote signal that a  
component accepts differs depending on the model and  
year of the component, more than one numeric code may  
be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your  
remote using one of the codes, try using other codes.  
The function button to which you can assign a button is in  
parentheses on top of each table.  
Notes  
• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available  
for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your  
component will not respond to some or all of the codes.  
• All of the functions on this remote may not be available when  
used with your particular component.

General  
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in  
a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per  
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is  
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the  
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that  
you can get higher quality pictures.

This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced  
than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear  
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”  
because the subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel  
(since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed).  
All six channels in this format are recorded separately to  
realize superior channel separation. Furthermore, since  
all the signals are processed digitally, less signal  
degradation occurs. The name “AC-3” comes from the  
fact that it is the third audio coding method to be  
developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing  
Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro  
Logic Surround produces four channels from two-channel  
sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround  
system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to-right  
panning more naturally and localizes sounds more  
precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic  
Surround, you should have one pair of rear speakers and  
a center speaker. The rear speakers output monaural  
sound.

DTS  
Title  
Digital audio compression technology that the Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is  
stereo 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 because the all channel data is recorded discrete  
and processed in digital.  
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a  
DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;  
or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software.  
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate  
the title you want.  
Track  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO  
CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to  
locate the track you want.  
DVD  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even  
though its diameter is the same as a CD.  
VIDEO CD  
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 the  
worldwide standards 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 changes the data to be allocated according  
to the status of the picture.  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the  
worldwide standards 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  
the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs  
can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional  
audio CDs.  
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.  
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in  
PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the  
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions  
are provided with the DVD.  
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.  
Multi-angle function (page 43)  
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a  
scene are recorded on some DVDs.  
Multilingual function (pages 15, 41, 43)  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture  
are recorded on some DVDs.  
Parental Control (page 54)  
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.  
Playback Control (PBC) (page 30)  
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.
