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 very susceptible.

Notes on 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.

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.

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

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 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.

Getting Started

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby* Digital or MPEG AUDIO format. Using a receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and the 5 (+1) speakers, you can enjoy more real audio presence in the comfort of your own home. “5 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right) and 1 center speaker. The “0.1 channel” (+1) stands for the subwoofer which outputs the bass. Even if you have fewer than 5 (+1) speakers, the player distributes the output signal to the speakers appropriately. This player has VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use the 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position (VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 36.

Note

When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels r ecor ded in MPEG AUDIO format, the output audio signals ar e mixed down to 5.1 channels.

Speaker placement

For the best possible surround sound, we recommend the following conditions.

• Use higher performance speakers.

• Use rear and center speakers that match your front speakers in size and performance.

• All speakers should be the same distance from the listening position.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.

• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• Jacks and plugs of the connecting cords are color-coded as follows: Red jacks and plugs: Right audio channel White jacks and plugs: Left audio channel You can use either red or white cables to connect the center speaker and subwoofer.

• When you connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 13.

Setups for the player

Some setups are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected. Use the setup display or the Control Menu display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 49. For details on enjoying Digital Cinema Sound, see page

36.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital or MPEG AUDIO surr ound

sound by connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 ch inputs

Set each speaker position or distance, etc. See page 61.

Note

Do not place the center or r ear speakers far ther away fr om the listening position than the fr ont speakers.
