Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/ DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVDRW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

and JPEG Image Files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

Discs that the system can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CDRs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVDRWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the operating instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About Multi-Session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the system can play

The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:

• that have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio

track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• that conform to the DCF* image file format

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image

standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Note

• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The system does not conform to audio in MP3PRO format.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is as follows:

x Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any subalbums/tracks (or files) 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 DVD MENU and the list of album names appears on the TV screen (page 64), the album names are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track (or file) names when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks (or files) will be played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.

Note

• Playback order may differ from the illustration depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, or if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks (or files) in each album.

• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will not play any albums beyond the 200th.

• The system may take longer time to playback when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some types of JPEG files cannot be played.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

What is the Radio Data System?

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as station name display. RDS is available only for FM stations.*

Note

• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same type of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your lo cal radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station from the FM band.

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name* appears in the front panel display.

* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name

will not appear in the front panel display.

• When a station name is displayed, you can check the frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.

Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.

Note

• When you connect the control unit and the TV with

the HDMI cable during the system is set to “INTERLACE” (NORMAL), the system is set to “PROGRE” (PROGRESSIVE) automatically.

• When you connect the control unit and the TV with

the HDMI cable, RESOLUTION is used for selecting the type of video signals output from the HDMI OUT jack. For details, see “To select the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack” (page 92).

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 VIDEO OUT (COMPONENT) jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRE” (PROGRESSIVE), images from the VIDEO OUT (VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

To select the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT (highdefinition multimedia interface out) jack

When you connect the control unit and the TV with the HDMI cable, select the type of video signals output from the HDMI OUT (highdefinition multimedia interface out) jack. For details, refer also to the operating instructions supplied with the TV/projector, etc.

Precautions

On power sources

• Unplug the subwoofer 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.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over lo ng periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet s hould be avoided. Do not place the control 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 control unit can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the control unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

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

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

• Do not place anything on the control unit and the subwoofer.

On operation

• If the system i s 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 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 subwoofer 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 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. 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 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. 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.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the control unit.

On moving the system

When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism.

1 Press Z to remove a disc.

Make sure that a disc is removed from the control unit.

2 Press "/1 to turn off the power. 3 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead)

from the wall outlet (mains).

Notes about the Discs Troubleshooting

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.

• 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.

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. Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.

Power

The power is not turned on.

• Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is connected securely.

• Press "/1 after all indications disappear from the front panel display.

• After connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), wait about 20 seconds before t urning on the power by pressing "/1.

If “PROTECTOR” and “PUSH POWER” appear alternately in the front panel display.

Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the following items after “STANDBY” disappears.

•Are the 3 and # speaker cords short-circuited?

• Are you using only the specified speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation slots of the system?

Check the above items and fix any problems. After “STANDBY” disappears, wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power by pressing "/1. If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

If you still experience problems even when you connect your control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your control unit to your TV’s video input (except for the HDMI jack) (page 21).
