SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below.

To Exposed Metal Parts on Set

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commer cial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA

WT -540A. Follow the manuf acturers' instructions to use these

instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-

tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-

voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd are ex-

amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery

operated digital multimeters that have a 2V A C range are suit-

able. (See Fig. A)

Precautions

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.

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 disconnect 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.

• 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.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: The enclosed DVD 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. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

Notes About the Discs

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.

• 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.

On novelty discs

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs such as heart- or star-shaped CDs as they may cause the player to malfunction.

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. Using a receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and 6 speakers, you can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of your own home. “5.1 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofer. Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal to the speakers. This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position (VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 39.

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.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.

Note

Do not place the rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect only 2 front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes: VES TV, VES A, VES B, VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION. If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connector, the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” and “DTS” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for the stereo sound of a CD or the Dolby Digital and DTS sounds of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes: NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND, VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.

OFF

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the center speaker.

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift postion differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 68).

SIDE REAR

VIRTUAL MULTI REAR

Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The position of the virtual rear speakers differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 68).

Notes

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, the 3D surround effects may be difficult to hear.

• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. However, when you select “VES TV,” “VES A,” ”VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.

• When you select one of the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND modes, set the surround setting of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to OFF.

• The sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.

• If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors, the surround effect will not be heard when you play a CD.

• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with the listening position at the top. Otherwise, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A,” ”VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.”

• When you connect 4 speakers, the surround effect will not be heard if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors.

• 96kHz/24bit: All types of signals including 96 kHz/24 bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.

Notes

• If you select “96kHz/24bit” when a receiver (amplifier) which

cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a loud noise will come out from the speakers.

• Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to
