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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: The enclosed DVD player is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

Notes About the Discs

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 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 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.

• 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 the temperature may rise considerably 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.

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.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

On novelty discs

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs such as heart- or star-shaped CDs as they may cause the player to malfunction.

Getting

Unpacking

Started

This section describes how to hook up the CD/DVD player to a TV (with audio/video input jacks) and/or an AV receiver (amplifier). You cannot connect this player to a TV which does not have a video input connector. Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making the connections.

Check that you have the following items:

• Audio/video connecting cord (1)

• S video cord (1)

• Remote commander (remote) RMT-D116N (1)

• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

Inserting batteries into the remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the + and – ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor

on the player.

Getting Started

z You can control TVs and AV receivers (amplifiers) using the

supplied remote

See page 58.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

TV Hookups

Getting Started

This connection is for listening to the sound through TV speakers (L:left, R:right). Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected. You cannot connect this player to a TV without a SCART (EURO AV) connector or a video input connector.

zYou can enjoy surround sound using your TV’s built-in

speakers

You can use 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of built-in TV speakers without using actual rear speakers (VES TV: Virtual Enhanced Surround TV). For details, see page 36.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the setup display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 32.) If you set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
