Important Safeguards

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or the one described in the operating instructions and adhere to them.

Use

Power sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug:

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug:

This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.

Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

• Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Antennas Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits. WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL. Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection aga inst voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National E lectrical Code provides information with respect to proper groun ding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding o f the lead-in wire to an antenn a disc ha rge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenn a-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, a nd requirements for the grounding electrode.

This automatically detects the software type, and selects the approp r i ate conversion method.

About DVD software types and the conv ersion method

DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video based software. Video-base d software is derived from TV , such as dramas and sit-co m s, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per se cond. Film-based s oftware is derive d from film and displa ys images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for thes e images to appea r natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Notes

• Whe n you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of ima ges ma y appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VI DEO OUT an d LINE OUT (VI DEO) j acks ar e un affect ed as they are outp ut in the normal (interlace) fo rm a t.

• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each tim e the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect a st er eo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surrou nd sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without usin g actual rear speakers. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound f or h om e use using just a stereo TV. This only works when playing a multi channel Dolby audi o sound track. Furthe rmore, if the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/ HDMI OUT jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 74).

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEA TER

Creates one set of LARGE virtual rear speakers and virtual subwoofer from the sound of the front s peakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers and subwoof er (shown below) . This mode is effe ctive when the distance between the front L a nd R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

◆TVS WIDE

Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L , R) without using actual rear speakers (sho w n below). This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with buil t-i n sp eak er s on a st er eo TV.

◆TVS NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. Th is feature is useful when you want to hear the dial og and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.

◆TVS STANDARD

Creates three sets of virtual rear sp eakers from the sound of the actua l front spea kers (L, R) as shown below. This mode is effective when you use 2 separate speakers.

For 4 to 6 speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front spe akers and 2 rear speakers. Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver) with the connection (page 22). You can experienc e D olby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or cr eate entire sets of virtual rear sp eakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “V IRTUAL REAR SHIFT,” “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make use of this technolo gy.

◆NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signa ls is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to create surround effects. Th e rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a center speaker, the appropriate sounds for the center speaker will be delivered .

Notes

• When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround setting of the conne c ted TV or amplifier (receiver).

• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” function in the same way.

• To enjoy the mul tichannel audio through the

5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each s peaker position and distance (page 22, 75).

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, you cannot hea r th e TVS effect.

• When you select one of the TVS modes, the player does not output the soun d o f cen te r speaker.

• Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers ar e located in similar surroundings.

• If you use the DIGITA L OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” and “DTS” to “DTS,” in “AUDIO SETUP”, sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the SURROUND effect.

• The surround effects do not work when using the Fast Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can change the surround modes.

• If your speakers are too sm al l to r eprod uc e low bass frequencies, utilize a subw oofer f or low frequency sound. When you set the speaker settings to “SMALL,” the ba ss red irection circuitry will be activated and the bass frequencies for the speakers are output from the subwoofer.

• Even if there are fewer than 6 speakers connected, the player distributes the audio signal components to the front speakers.

◆DISTANCE

Sets the distance from your l istenin g positio n to the speakers. Set the distance to your front speakers in “FRONT” first (A). Then adjust the values in “CENTER” (center speake r B), and “REAR” (rear speaker C) , an d “SUBWOOFER” (D) to reflect the actual distance to your center speaker, rear speakers, and subwoofer .

DVD VIDEO (page7)

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 -l ayer and double-sid ed DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses th e MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (avera ge) 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 re corded in a multi-channel format, such as Dol by Dig ita l, allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided w i th the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 7)

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 7)

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 56, 59)

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

Film based software, Video based software (page 21)

DVDs can be clas si f ied as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that ar e sh ow n at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-co m s, di splays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi -c hannel audio signals to A V components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation. Since the video signals are compatible with the current DVI (Digital Visual Interface) format, HDMI jacks can be connec ted to DVI jacks by way of an HDMI-DVI converter cord. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-band width Digital Cont e nts Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates codi ng technology for digita l video signals.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 21)

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 s hows the even numbered l ines of a n image, an d the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive format (page 21)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternatel y shows every ot her line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows th e entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can s how 30 frames/60 fie lds in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and hori zontal li nes appear sh arper. Th is player is compatible with the 480 (525) progressive format.

Page 83

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEG s are used mostly on the internet. They are different from other JPEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from t op t o bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image wh ile it is being downlo aded.

Super Audio CD ( page 7)

A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds that are extremel y faithful to the origi nal sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. This technology utilizes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is 64 times that of a conventio nal CD, an d 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a standard PCM format CD can hold. Super Audio CDs are divided into the following types.

• Super Audi o CD (single layer disc) This disc consi sts of a single HD layer*.

*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD

HD (high density) layer

• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc) This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of extended play over long periods. Also, as the dual layer disc consi s ts of dual HD layers on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc ov er during playback.

• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc) This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD layer. Also, as the dual layers are on one side only, you do n o t have to turn the disc over during playback. You can play the CD layer using a conventional CD player.

CD layer HD layer

• 2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD This disc consists of the 2 channel playback area and the multi-channel playback area.
