Precautions

On safety

•Caution – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

•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.

•Should the AC power cord 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.

•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 away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

•Do not place heavy objects on the player.

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 disconnecting the AC power cord

Since this player may read and store the disc information at any time, always set the player to standby mode before unplugging the AC power cord to ensure that the data is stored properly.

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

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

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 especially susceptible to this.

On transporting the player

Before transporting the player, follow the procedure below to return the internal mechanisms to their original positions.

1Remove all the discs from the disc slots.

2Press OPEN/CLOSE to close the front cover.

Make sure that “NO DISC” appears on the front panel display.

3Wait for 10 seconds, then press ?/1 to turn off the player.

The player enters standby mode.

4Disconnect the AC power cord.

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

Connect an S VIDEO cord (not supplied). You will enjoy high quality images.

C If you are connecting to a monitor, projector, or AV amplifier

(receiver) having component video input jacks (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR)

Connect the component via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a component video cord (not supplied) or three video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will enjoy accurate color reproduction and high quality images. If your TV accepts progressive 480p format signals, you must use this connection and set “COMPONENT OUT” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “PROGRESSIVE” (page 79).

D If you are connecting to an HDMI/DVI input jack

Use a certified HDMI cord (not supplied) to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT jack.

Note that Super Audio CD sound is not output from the HDMI OUT jack.

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 20). Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

To change the aspect ratio for the connected TV

Depending on the disc and the TV type (standard 4:3 screen TV or wide screen TV), the image may not fit the TV screen. If this happens, change the aspect ratio (page 78).
