that the unit's operating voltage is identical with
your local power supply.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long
as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as
radiators or air dusts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.

designed to be operated in a horizontal position
only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside the CD/
DVD player and cause damage to the lenses. When
you first install the unit, or when you move it from a
cold to a warm location, wait for about one hour
before operating the unit.

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.
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.
• Should the AC power cord (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 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.
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 30
minutes until the moisture evaporates.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion 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.
Notes on Discs
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove
the glue completely before using the disc.
Not this way
• 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.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: The enclosed DVD Player is capable of holding a
still video image or Menu image on your television screen
indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or Menu
image displayed on your TV for an extended period of

Glossary
Bit rate
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or sub-titles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed
in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not always mean
that you can get higher quality pictures.
Chapter
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several
chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Digital audio compression technology that the Dolby
Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. When connecting a
component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, you
can enjoy more real audio presence.
DVD
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 single-sided
DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and
single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided
DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to 1/40 of
its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate
coding technology that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle and multilingual functions are provided
with the DVD.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control
playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with
PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple
interactive programs, programs with search functions,
and so on.
Title
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a
DVD; a movie, etc. for a picture piece on a video
software or an album, etc. for a music piece on an
audio software. Each title is assigned a title number
enabling you to locate the title you want.
Track
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or
VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a track number
enabling you to locate the track you want.
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed 1/140 of its
original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can
contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compressed audio
information. Sounds outside the range of human
hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear
are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the
audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and
sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This player conforms to both versions.
