About DivX video files

DivX

is a video file compression technology, developed by DivX, Inc. This product is an official DivX® Certified product. You can play a DATA CD or DATA DVD that contains DivX® video files.

A DATA CD or DATA DVD that the system can play

Playback of a DATA CD (CD-ROM/CD-R/CDRW) or DATA DVD (DVD-ROM/DVD-R/ DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW) on this system is subject to certain conditions:

– With a DATA CD/DATA DVD that contains

DivX video files in addition to MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files, the system plays

only the DivX video files. However, this system only plays a DATA CD of format ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet, and a DATA DVD of Universal Disk Format (UDF). Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About playback order of data on a DATA CD or DATA DVD

Note that the playback order may not be applicable, depending on the software used for creating the DivX video file, or if there are more than 200 folders and 150 DivX video files in each folder.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

DivX video files that the system can play

The system can play data that is recorded in DivX format, and which has the extension “.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The system will not play

files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if they do not contain a DivX video.

• For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on a DATA CD or DATA DVD, see “Playable Discs” (page 5).

Note

• The system may not play a DivX video file when the file has been combined from two or more DivX video files.

• The system cannot play a DivX video file of size more than 720 (width) × 576 (height) or 2GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, sound may skip or not match the pictures on the TV screen.

• The system cannot play some DivX video files that are longer than 3 hours.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may pause or be unclear. In whi ch case, it is recommended that you create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound is still noisy, MP3 is the recommended audio format. Note, however, this system does not conform to WMA (Windows Media Audio) format for playing DivX files.

• Because of the compression technology used for DivX video files, it may take some time after you press H for the picture to appear.

Precautions

On power sources

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) 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 ti me, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabin et shou ld 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.

• 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 shock.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the unit and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

On operation

• If the system is b rought 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.

• 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.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to 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 suddenly played.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabine t, 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.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the 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

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely.
