Notes About the Discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc may cause it to malfunction.
• 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.
• 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 have printed the disc’s label, dry the label before playing.
Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
• 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.
• Take care when routing the cables so that they do not become entangled and catch on your feet or hands.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source 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, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

On placement
• Be sure to mount the player on the back of the TV set. It is not meant to be used unattached to the TV set.
• 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.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not install the player in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a vertical position only.
• Do not place any objects on the player.
• Keep the player and the discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Install the player so that the AC power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.
• When using the adjustable mounting bracket at setting 2, be sure to use the supplied Velcro strip (see page 14).
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.
• Do not move the TV using the player as a handle.
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 played.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet 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 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 replacement of parts
• In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired parts may be collected for reuse or recycling purposes.
• If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+Rs DL, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-Rs DL or CD­Rs/CD-RWs
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+Rs DL, DVD-RWs/ DVD-Rs/DVD-Rs DL, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this player 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, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/ DVD+Rs/DVD+Rs DL, 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 playback 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.
• For player that cannot play images that contain a copy protection only
Images in DVD-VR mode with CPRM* protection may not be played if they contain a copy protection signal, “Copyright lock” appears on the screen. * CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) is a coding technology that protects the copyright of images.
• 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.
Note on playback operations of DVDs
Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this player plays DVDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
~
DVD Media/Formats are not universally compatible
• Playback on all home DVD players cannot be guaranteed. Some players lack the ability to read due to the optical reflection standard of DVD discs and /or due to encoding incompatibilities. Refer to the specifications of your playback equipment for additional compatibility information.

Getting Started

Attaching the DVD Player to Your TV

Fixed Mounting Bracket
The Fixed Mounting Bracket is recommended for smaller model size TVs. With larger TV models, the bracket may cause the player to recess behind the TV. In this case, use the supplied Adjustable Mounting Bracket illustrated on the next page.
1 Insert the guide pins on the bracket into the guide
holes on the TV. The holes on the bracket should align to the holes on the TV.
2 Insert the two plastic fasteners (supplied) into the
holes, then press in the head of the fasteners until they click.
~
Do not push on the head of the plastic fastener until you have inserted it into the hole on the TV.
Plastic Fasteners
3 Slide the DVD player onto the bracket with the DVD
slot facing the outer edge of the TV.
~
To remove the bracket from the TV, use a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) to loosen the plastic fasteners.
13
Adjustable Mounting Bracket
The Adjustable Mounting Bracket is recommended for 46” TVs or larger. Using the table below, choose the preferred position at which to secure the bracket.
Adjustable Mounting Bracket Settings
The bracket retracts so that the DVD player is close to the edge of the TV. If the player protrudes
1
beyond the TV at this setting, use the Fixed Mounting Bracket.
The bracket expands so that the DVD player is much closer to the edge of the TV. This is
2
recommended for larger TV models. Use of a Velcro strip (supplied) is advised when using bracket setting 2.
