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.
• 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 this player in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Install the player so that the AC power cord (mains lead) can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.
• 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, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/ lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired parts may be collected for reuse or recycling purposes.

• Be sure to disconnect the mains lead of each component before connecting.

Step 1: Connecting to Your TV

Connect this player to your TV using a video cord. Select one of the patterns A through D, according to the input jack on your TV. In order to view progressive signal (525p or 625p) pictures with a compatible TV, you must use pattern C. Select pattern B when connecting to a TV equipped with HDMI input.

When connecting to a progressive TV, it is recommended that you use only pattern C. If you connect to your TV using both C and D, a special control signal transmitted via the SCART cord may cause the signal to be switched to the SCART jack.
A Video input jack
You will enjoy standard quality images.
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 14). Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).
B HDMI/DVI input jack
Use a certified Sony HDMI cord to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT jack.
When connecting to a Sony TV that is compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI function, see page 13.
When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack
Follow the steps below. Improper handling may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the connector.
1 Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on
the back of the player and the HDMI connector by checking their shapes.
Make sure the connector is not upside down or tilted.
Connector is upside down
Not straight
2 Insert the HDMI connector straight into
the HDMI OUT jack.
Do not bend or apply force to the HDMI connector.
C Component video input jacks
(Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR)
You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high quality images.
D SCART input jack
Be sure to make the connections firmly to avoid hum and noise. When you connect using the SCART cord, check that the TV conforms to RGB signals. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to “RGB (COMPONENT OFF)” under “SCREEN SETUP” in the Setup Display (page 35), use a SCART cord that conforms to each signal.
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV
Some images may not fit your TV screen. To change the picture size, see page 35.
b
• Do not connect more than one type of video cord between the player and your TV at the same time.
• Do not use connections B and D at the same time.
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., betwee n your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack, connect the player to this jack.
12
• When you connect the player to your TV via the SCART jack, the TV’s input source is set to the player automatically when you start playback. In this case, press TV t (input select) on the remote to return the input to the TV.
• If you set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “RGB (COMPONENT OFF)” (page 35), the player outputs no component video signals.
• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cord when moving the player.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet wall, if you place the player on the cabinet with the HDMI cord connected. It may damage the HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.
• When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw in or rotate the HDMI connector.
When you play a disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the player outputs the video signal or the Setup Display etc. in the NTSC colour system and the picture may not appear on the PAL colour system televisions. In this case, open the tray and remove the disc.
