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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

• 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.

Getting Started

When you have made the connections using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG,” “DTS” to “DTS” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” to “96kHz/24bit.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Note

You cannot make direct digital audio recordings of discs recorded in multichannel surround format using an MD deck or DAT deck.

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital, MPEG audio or DTS format. Using a receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and 6 speakers, you can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of your own home. “5.1 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofer. Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal to the speakers. This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use 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, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 38.

Note

When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are 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.

• 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.

• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.

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

• If you want to connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 11.

Setups for the player

Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected. Use the setup display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 54.

• To enjoy surround sounds by connecting the player

to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs

Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position (page 66).

Note

Do not place the rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

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 “D-PCM” 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 34.) 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.

Notes

• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. It will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15 minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 59.)

• If you don‘t operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes when a disc is not being played, the player automatically enters the standby mode. (Auto Power Off function)

• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player by pressing !. Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then press @/1 on the remote. After the power indicator lights up in red and the player enters standby mode, press ! on the player.
