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.
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
• 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
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player and the discs away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.
• Install the player so that the AC power cord
can be unplugged from the wall socket
immediately in the event of trouble.
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.
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, 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 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.
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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Notes
• 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.
• 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 and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs 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 or VIDEO CDs.

the HDMI OUT jack.
Do not bend or apply pressure to the
HDMI connector.
To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any
audio signals, so you have to use another
audio connection in addition to this
connection (page 18). Furthermore, you
cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI
jacks on PC displays).
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen
TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit
your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio,
see page 57.
Notes
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., bet ween your TV and
the player. If you pass the player signals via the
VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the
TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video
input jack, connect the player to this jack.

Hookups
To prepare for the ‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync
features
Set “HDMI CONTROL” to “ON” in “CUSTOM
SETUP” (page 60). For details on TV setting, refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the TV.
Note
Depending on the connected component, the HDMI
CONTROL function may not work. Refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the component.
Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the
front panel, you can select the signal format in
which the player outputs video signals
(Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion
method for progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE button,
the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO
m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
◆PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above
condition. This automatically detects the
software type, and selects the appropriate
conversion method.
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.
,
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive
signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE
OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
About DVD software types and the
conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types:
film-based software and video-based
software.
Video-based software is derived from TV,
such as dramas and sitcoms, 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 typ es of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process
when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and
LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they
are output in the normal (interlace) format.
