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 played.  
Precautions  
On safety  
• 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 player and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
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.  
On power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source (mains) as long as it is  
connected to the wall outlet, even if the  
player itself has been turned off.  
On cleaning discs  
Do not use a commercially available cleaning  
disc. It may cause a malfunction.  
• If you are not going to use the player for a  
long time, be sure to disconnect the player  
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC  
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This player 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. Plasma  
Display Panel televisions and projection  
televisions are susceptible to this.  
On placement  
• Place the player in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the  
player.  
• Do not place the player on a soft surface  
such as a rug that might block the  
ventilation holes.  
• Do not place the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical  
shock.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
On operation  
• If the player 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 player. Should this occur,  
the player may not operate properly. In this  
case, remove the disc and leave the player  
turned on for about half an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
• When you move the player, take out any  
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be  
damaged.

About MP3 audio tracks  
1 Press MENU.  
You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-  
ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the  
discs must be recorded according to ISO9660  
level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player  
to recognize the tracks.  
The list of MP3 albums recorded on the  
DATA CD appears.  
You can also play discs recorded in Multi  
Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/CD-RW  
device or recording software (not supplied)  
for details on the recording format.  
When you insert a DATA CD and press H,  
the numbered tracks are played sequentially,  
from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks  
contained within a currently selected album  
take priority over the next album in the same  
tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is  
played before 5.)  
When you press MENU and the list of MP3  
albums appears (page 33), the albums are  
arranged in the following order: A t B t  
C t D t F t G. Albums that do not  
contain tracks (such as album E) do not  
appear in the list.  
To play a Multi Session CD  
This player can play Multi Session CDs when  
an MP3 audio track is located in the first  
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio track,  
recorded in later sessions, can also be played  
back.  
When audio tracks and images in music CD  
format or video CD format are recorded in the  
first session, only the first session will be  
played back.  
z Hints  
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front  
of the track file names, the tracks will be played in  
that order.  
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start  
playback, it is recommended that you create  
albums of no more than two trees.  
Notes  
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in  
MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data  
properly and will generate a loud noise which  
could damage your speaker system.  
• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO  
format.  
Notes  
• Depending on the software you use to create the  
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from  
the illustration above.  
• The playback order above may not be applicable  
if there are more than a total of 999 albums and  
tracks in the DATA CD.  
• The player can recognize up to 499 albums (the  
player will count just albums, including albums  
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player  
will not play any albums beyond the first 499  
albums. Of the first 499 albums, the player will  
play no more than a combined total of 999 albums  
and tracks.

surround sound for home use using just a  
stereo TV.

Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound  
of the front speakers (L, R) without using  
actual rear speakers (shown below).

Glossary  
Chapter (page 9)  
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 (average) of its  
original size. The DVD also uses a variable  
rate coding technology that changes the data  
to be allocated according to the status of the  
picture. Audio information is recorded in a  
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,  
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio  
presence.  
Sections of a picture or a music feature that  
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of  
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no  
chapters may be recorded.  
Dolby Digital (page 19, 67)  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo  
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in  
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same  
discrete channels of high quality digital audio  
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround  
sound systems. Good channel separation is  
realized because all of the channel data are  
recorded discretely and little deterioration is  
realized because all channel data processing  
is digital.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
DVD-RW (page 6)  
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.  
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 19)  
Audio signal processing technology that  
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround  
sound. When the input signal contains a  
surround component, the Pro Logic process  
outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The  
rear channel is monaural.  
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.  
DTS (page 19, 67)  
Digital audio compression technology that  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo  
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in  
this format. DTS provides the same discrete  
channels of high quality digital audio.  
Good channel separation is realized because  
all of the channel data is recorded discretely  
and little deterioration is realized because all  
channel data processing is digital.  
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page  
12)  
A number that divides a track into sections to  
easily locate the point you want on a CD or  
VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index  
may be recorded.  
MPEG audio (page 19, 67)  
International standard coding system used to  
compress audio digital signals authorized by  
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-  
channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs,  
conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same  
as a CD.

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
