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 (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 mains lead, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• Should the mains lead 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.

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.

When you have more than one Sony DVD player

If the supplied remote interferes with your other Sony DVD player, change the command mode setting for this player and the supplied remote to one that differs from the other Sony DVD player. The default command mode setting for this player and the supplied remote is DVD 1.

To change the setting for the remote

1 Slide the COMMAND MODE switch on the remote to select the command mode (DVD 1,

DVD 2, or DVD 3) so that the setting for the remote differs from that of the other DVD players. For example, if the other DVD players respond to the default command mode setting for the supplied remote (DVD 1), set the remote to DVD 2 or DVD 3.

To change the setting for the player

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.

E If you are connecting to a SCART (EURO AV) input jack

Connect the SCART (EURO AV) cord (not supplied). Be sure to make the connections firmly to avoid hum and noise. When you connect using the SCART (EURO AV) cord, check that the TV conforms to S video or RGB signals. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to “S VIDEO” or “RGB” under “SCREEN SETUP” in the Setup Display (page 77), use a SCART (EURO AV) cord that conforms to each signal.

If you are connecting to a VCR

Connect your VCR to the LINE 2 jack on the player. The VCR can record the signal only from your TV.

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 76).

z Hint

If your TV has a CONTROL S jack, you can control the player by operating the remote toward the TV. This feature is convenient when you placed the player and the TV away from each other. After connecting the player with other components according to the above A, B, C, or D, connect the TV via the CONTROL S IN/IR IN using a Control S cord (not supplied). Refer to the instructions supplied with the TV to be connected.

Notes

• Connect the player directly to the TV. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 480 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model 525p DVD player, please contact our customer service centre.

• 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 E, a special control signal transmitted via the SCART (EURO AV) cable may cause the signal to be switched to the SCART (EURO AV) jack.

• If you cannot view the pictures from a VCR through this player which is connected to a TV with RGB component jacks, set to t (Audio/Video) on your TV. When you select (RGB), the TV cannot receive the signal from the VCR.

• If you want to use your VCR’s SmartLink function, connect the VCR directly to your TV’s SCART (EURO AV) jack and connect the player to the TV with another jack.

• The SmartLink function may not work properly if your VCR is connected to your TV via the SCART (EURO AV) jacks on the player.

• When you connect the player to your TV via the SCART (EURO AV) jacks, the TV’s input source is set to the player automatically when you start playback or press any button except for \/1. In this case, press TV/DVD on the remote to return the input to the TV.

• If you are connecting to an HDMI jack, use a Sony HDMI cord (not supplied).

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.
