Continued

Viewing the TV screen

• To view the TV screen comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical length away from the system.

• View the TV screen in moderate light, as viewing the TV screen in poor light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.

Volume adjustment

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

• 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 suddenly played.

Overloading

This system is designed to operate on a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same mains socket as this could result in fire or electric shock.

Heat

Do not touch the surface of the system. It remains hot, even after the system has been turned off for some time.

Corrosion

If you use this system near the seashore, salt may corrode metal parts of the system and cause internal damage or fire. It may also shorten the life of the system. Steps should be taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature of the area where the system is located.

Precautions

Safety

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned off. To disconnect the system completely, pull the plug from the AC power source (mains).

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this system. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

• If this system is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this system is in use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this system also contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Fluorescent lamp

This system uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service personnel.

Installing the system

• Do not install the system in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent or excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock. If the system is exposed to extreme temperature, the system may overheat and cause deformation of the casing or cause the system to malfunction.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• Do not install optional components too close to the system. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the system. If a VCR is installed in front of the system or beside the system, the picture may become distorted.

• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the system is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

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

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

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

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside this system and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the system

The screen surface is finished with a special coating to prevent strong light reflections. To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the system continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

On placement

At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaner

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may cause apparatus to malfunction.

On moving the system

When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism.

1 Press (input select) repeatedly to select “DVD.” 2 Make sure that the disc is removed from the system. 3 Press x (stop) and 1 on the system simultaneously.

“MECHA LOCK” appears in the front panel display. The lift unit is now set in the shipping position (down).

4 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead) from the

wall outlet (mains).

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.

• 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 centre out.

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

This system can only play back a standard circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/ DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/ DVD+RW cannot be played on this system 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, see the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that discs created in the Packet Write format cannot be played. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs, 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.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back 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.

Note on DualDisc

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.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

About the Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.

Types of Super Audio CDs

There are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

•CD layer*

: A layer that is readable by a

conventional CD player

Single layer disc (a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)

Super Audio CD layer

Hybrid disc* (a disc with an Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer)

*1You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD player. *2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary to turn the

disc over.

*3To select a layer, see “Selecting a playback layer for a Super

Audio CD (Super Audio CD only)” (page 33).

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

* About S-Force PRO Front Surround

Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led to the development of all-new processing method and advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call SForce PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers.
