IMPORTANT NOTICE  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this  
product will increase eye hazard.  
Caution: The enclosed DVD 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.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• 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 p o w e r so u rce s  
• 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.  
• 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.  
No t e s Ab o u t t h e Discs

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD  
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the  
player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.  
The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT  
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO  
SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the setup display, and may affect  
your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.  
./>  
H
x
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks  
on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 32.) If you set  
the sound to “1/ L” or “2/ R”, no sound will come from the  
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.  
• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may  
come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears  
or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD  
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the  
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No  
sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.  
• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a  
built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to  
“ON” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS  
sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers,  
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.  
• When you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF”, no sound  
will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and  
COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on  
DVDs.

Bit ra t e (p a g e 38)  
DVD (p a g e 4)  
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, the larger the  
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that  
you can get higher quality pictures.  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even  
though its diameter is the same as a CD.  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD  
is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte) which is 7 times that of a CD. The  
data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5  
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a  
dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.  
Ch a p t e r (p a g e 5)  
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 a variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be allocated according  
to the status of the picture.  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are  
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters.  
Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you  
to locate the chapter you want.  
Dig it a l Cin e m a So u n d (DCS) (p a g e 36)  
Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in  
PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the  
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions  
are provided with the DVD.  
The general name of technology that Sony developed to  
enjoy surround sound in a home. It simulates the sound  
of a movie editing studio instead of the usual concert hall  
so that you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie  
theater in the comfort of your own home. The VES  
(Virtual Enhanced Surround) system contained in DCS  
programs can create the sound image of virtual rear  
speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R)  
without using actual rear speakers.  
MPEG a u d io (p a g e 14)  
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.  
Do lb y Dig it a l (p a g e s 11, 56)  
Digital audio compression technology developed by  
Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and  
there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.  
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema  
audio systems. Good channel separation is realized  
because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and  
processed in digital.  
Mu lt i-a n g le fu n ct io n (p a g e 35)  
Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video  
camera) are recorded on some DVDs.  
Mu lt ilin g u a l fu n ct io n (p a g e s 16, 34, 49)  
Several languages for the audio track or sub-titles in a  
picture are recorded on some DVDs.  
Pa re n t a l Co n t ro l (p a g e 52)  
A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc  
according to the age of the user and 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.  
Do lb y Pro Lo g ic (p a g e 56)  
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, center and rear signals.  
The rear channel is monaural.  
Pla yb a ck Co n t ro l (PBC) (p a g e 23)  
DTS (p a g e s 14, 57)  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control  
playback.  
By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC  
functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive  
programs, programs with search functions, and so on.  
Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater  
Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is  
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides  
the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital  
audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of  
the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in  
digital.

Glo ssa ry  
Tit le (p a g e 5)  
The longest section 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 audio software.  
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate  
the title you want.  
Tra ck (p a g e 5)  
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.  
VIDEO CD (p a g e 4)  
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.  
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 player conforms to both versions.
