Speaker Placement
For the best possible surround sound, we recommend
the following conditions.
• Use higher performance speakers.
• Use rear and center speakers that match your front
speakers in size and performance.
• All speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position.
• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R)
speakers if possible.
Note
Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
Speaker Set Up
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first
specify the type of speakers you have connected and
their distance from your listening position. Then use
the test tone to adjust the speaker volumes to the same
level.
■ Front speaker, Center speaker, or Rear speaker
Generally, if you are utilizing large, full-range
(large) speakers that effectively reproduce bass
frequencies, select this symbol. This is default
setting.
A If you are utilizing small speakers with rninimal
(small) bass response, select this symbol.
& If you will not connect the speaker, select this
symbol. You carmot select this symbol for the
front speakers.
The above speaker selections will activate the Dolby
EHgital bass redirection circuitry and output the bass
frequencies to the appropriate speakers.
■Sub woofer
1^ If you connect a sub woofer, select this symbol
to output the LEE (low frequency effects)
channel from the sub woofer. This is default
setting.
;J( i If you do not connect a sub woofer, select this
symbol. This activates the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LEE
signals from other speakers.

• Depending on the settings of other speakers, the subwoofer
may output excessive sound.
• The bass management options provided by the bass
redirection circuitry in this player will optimize system set
up based on total system configuration selected. In some
instances, independent speaker selections might be changed
to reflect the most optimum multi-channel sound
experience.
• If your speakers are too small to reproduce low bass
frequencies, please set all speaker setting to " A" (small)
and utilize a subwoofer for low frequency sound.

Precautions
Notes on Discs
On safety
• Caution - The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.
• 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.
• Should any object fall between the disc compartment and
the disc tray, first disconnect the AC power cord and then
remove the object.
On power sources
• 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
discormect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be
changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
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 that
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
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.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion 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 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.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove
the glue completely before using the disc.
Not this way
• 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 there can be considerable rise in temperature
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.

enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 44)
The general name of technology that Sony developed
to enjoy the surround sound in a home. To enjoy the
surround sound of the movie theater in the comfort of
your own home, it simulates the sotmd not in a
concert hall as usual but in a movie editing studio.
This player adopts VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)
system from various DCS programs. The VES system
can create the sound image of virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers.

Additional Information
Dolby Digital (AC-3) (page 40)
Digital audio compression technology that the Dolby
Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is
stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this
format. The good channel separation is realized
because the all channel data is recorded discrete and
processed in digital.
Dolby Pro Logic (page 44)
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby
Laboratories Corporation developed for surround
sound. When the input signal has the surround
component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front,
center and rear signals. The rear charmel is monaural.
DVD (page 4)
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, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and
single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double
sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided
DVD 17 GB.
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 the variable
rate coding technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control
funcHons are provided with the DVD.
Multi-angle function (page 29)
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for
a scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function (page 28)
Several languages for the sound or sub-titles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.

playback.

PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple
interactive programs, programs with search functions,
and so on.

DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video
software;, or an album, etc., for a music piece on an
audio software. Each title is assigned a title number
enabling you to locate the title you want.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) (page 44)
See DCS (Digital Cinema Sound).
VIDEO CD (page 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.
Parental Control (page 30)
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by
the age of the users according to 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.
