WARNING

Precautions

On safety

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

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.

On placement

• Do not install the unit in a confined space such
as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It
is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position only.

• Keep the unit, discs and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

On operation

• When you move the player, take out any discs. If
you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• If the unit 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 and cause damage to the video
head, tape, and the optical block. Should this
occur, the player may not operate properly.
When you first install the player, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm location, remove
the disc and tape and leave the player turned on
for about three hours before operating the
player.

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.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may cause
the player to malfunction.

On cleaning the video heads

• Rough

contamination

When the video heads are dirty, clean the video
heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If
a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony
dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do
not use a commercially available liquid type
cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video
heads.

Region code

Your player has a region code printed on the
back of the unit and only will play DVD VIDEO
discs (playback only) labelled with identical
region codes. This system is used to protect
copyrights.

DVDs labelled will also play on this
player.

If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, a
message will appear on the TV screen to indicate
that the disc is not playable. Depending on the
DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be
labelled even though playing the DVD VIDEO
is prohibited by area restrictions.

DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs,
or CD-Rs/CD-RWs

Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD­Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this
player due to the recording quality or physical
condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the
recording device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized. For more information, refer to the
operating instructions for the recording device.
Note that some playback functions may not
work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if
they have been correctly finalized. In this case,
view the disc by normal playback. Also some
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet
Write format cannot be played.

Note on playback operations

features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO
CDs.

Music discs encoded with
copyright protection
technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.

This player can play the following discs

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Notes about discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.

• 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.

• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out.

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

• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry the
label before playing.
