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.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 10.5 V
(external power input) jack.
On AC power adaptor and AC power cord
• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use
any other AC power adaptor. It may cause a
malfunction.
Polarity of the plug
• If the AC power adaptor causes interference to the radio
reception, move it away from the radio.
• Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands.
• 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, contact the shop or refer to the Sony Web site
where you purchased this product.
• Use the player on AC 100 V only. If the player is used
on a car battery, the operation will not be guaranteed.
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 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.
Manners when listening to stereo
• When you listen to music in stereo, turn down the
volume to avoid disturbing your neighbors. Sound
penetrates even at low volume
especially at night.
Take care to maintain a comfortable
environment by closing windows,
using headphones or such. This is
the symbol for good listening
manners.
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 the shop or refer to the Sony Web
site where you purchased it.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the player.
• Do not place the player and the AC power adaptor 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.
• Do not place the player where it is humid or extremely
cold.
• Keep the player away from TVs, AM receivers and
VCRs. (A TV, AM receiver or VCR may cause noise
during playback. Since an indoor antenna is liable to
cause noise, use of an outdoor antenna is
recommended.)
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the player. The
player may be damaged.

on it, such as a rental CD with a missing label. If you
use such a disc, you may not be able to eject it or it may
cause a malfunction.
On storing
• 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.

multi-channel surround format directly using an MD deck or
DAT deck.
When you make the connections above, do not set

2+1 Channel Surround Hookups
Getting Started
This connection is for listening to the sound through the
left and right speakers of the TV, or speakers connected to
a receiver and the subwoofer. You can enjoy rich bass
frequencies by connecting a subwoofer. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the component to be
connected.
Set “SUBWOOFER” in “SPEAKER SETUP” to “YES” in
the setup display (page 57). Then set “FRONT SPEAKER
SIZE” to “TV” when you use the TV’s speakers, or to
“LARGE,” “MIDDLE” or “SMALL” when you use the
speakers connected to the receiver.
z
You can enjoy surround sounds even if you connect front
speakers only
You can use 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual
rear speakers (Virtual Enhanced Surround). For details, see page
39.

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups
With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG
audio sound, you can enjoy the sorround sound while
producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a
concert hall, using a digital component with a built-in
DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The
player outputs the surround sound signals from the
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector and the 6 speakers, you can enjoy
even greater real audio presence in the comfort of your
own home.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in
MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down to
5.1 channels.
