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.

Road safety

Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

On power sources

• Disconnect the DC IN 10V jack first, then

disconnect from the mains, 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 mains and/or detach the battery pack. To disconnect the AC power adapter, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

On placement

Do not place the player in a location where it is;

• On pedestal or unstable place

• On the rug or carpet

• On unleveled surface

• Very humid or a wobble where there is no

ventilation

• Subject to excessive dust

• Subject to direct sunlight or extremely hot

• Extremely cold

• Near a tuner, TV, or VCR.

(Sound noise or picture noise may occur when another TV, tuner, VCR, or other electrical appliance is near by. Indoor aerials may also adversely effect picture and sound quality. In this case, use an outdoor aerial instead.)

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. If the player doesn’t operate properly after hours, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• While operating, do not move, shake, or otherwise allow any shock to the player. It may cause a malfunction.

• Use this player in a stable, horizontal position where it is not subject to vibration.

On adjusting the 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.

Turn the volume down before you start playback.

On the rechargeable lithium-ion battery (not supplied)

• Keep the battery away from fire.

• Keep the battery dry.

• Do not expose the battery to any mechanical shock.

• Do not open nor convert the battery.

On cleaning the cabinet

the surface of the disc.

• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste

on it as this may damage the player.

• Use only a disc with a circle shape. Do not

use a disc with any other shape (star type, heart type, etc.), as this may damage the player.

On safekeeping

• 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.

Glossary

Chapter

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD VIDEO 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 double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.

DVD VIDEO

A DVD recorded with moving pictures. On a DVD VIDEO, the picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 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, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with DVD VIDEOs.

MPEG Audio

International standard coding system to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 compatible up to 2-channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs compatible up to 7.1-channel surround. It realises the backward compatibility – you can play the MPEG 2 sound track with a player which conforms to MPEG 1.

Multi-angle function

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVD VIDEOs.

(continued)

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVD VIDEOs.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD VIDEO for playback limitation of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, or violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes etc.

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.

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 to about 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 compact audio data. 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 highresolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This player conforms to both versions.

Title

The longer sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD VIDEO; a movie, etc., or a picture piece on a video software or an album, etc., or a music piece on an audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
