Thank you for purchasing this Sony CD/DVD Player. Before operating this player, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

Precautions

On safety

• 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.

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.

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

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

TV Virtual Surround Settings (TVS)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo TV. This only works when playing a multichannel Dolby audio soundtrack. Furthermore, if the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 67).

About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

Discs that the player can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/ CD-Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2 or Joliet format for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/ CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

Note on the multi-session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the player will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Notes

• The player will play any data with the extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The playe r does not c onform to audio in MP3PRO format.

• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of albums, MP3 audio tracks, or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as follows:

◆Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

Note

The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.

MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files that the player can play

The player can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:

• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track), “.JPG” or “.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• which conform to the DCF* image file format

Album

Track (MP3 audio) or File (JPEG image)

When you insert a DATA CD and press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any subalbums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of album names appears (page 52), the album names are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

z Hints

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums with no more than two trees.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the above illustration.

• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/ files in each album.

• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the player will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files). The player will not play any albums beyond the 200th albums.

• The player may take longer time to playback, when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some types of JPEG file cannot be played.

Glossary

Album (page 50, 52)

A unit in which to store JPEG image files or MP3 audio tracks on a DATA CD. (“Album” is an exclusive definition for this player.)

Chapter (page 9)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 18, 67)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” theatre surround sound systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 18)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 18, 68)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

DVD VIDEO (page 6)

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 singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17GB. 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 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

File (page 50, 53)

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD (“File” is an exclusive definition for this player.) A single file consist of a single image.

Film based software, Video based software (page 65)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (25 frames/50 fields) per second.

Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page 12)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded.

MPEG audio (page 18, 67)

International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 65)

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field show s the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive JPEG (page 55)

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. They are different from other JPEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from top to bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image while it is being downloaded.

Scene (page 9)

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Title (page 9)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.

Track (page 9)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD. (the length of a song). (“Track” in DATA CD is an exclusive definition for this player).

Additional Information

Progressive format (page 65)

Compared to the Normal (Interlace) format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Normal (Interlace) format can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.
