Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase eye hazard.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
• 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 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, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• Should the AC power cord 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.
• Do not place the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not install the player in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens,
or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.
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 disconnecting the AC power cord
Since this player may read and store the disc
information at any time, always set the player
to standby mode before unplugging the AC
power cord to ensure that the data is stored
properly.
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
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On transporting the player
Before transporting the player, follow the
procedure below to return the internal
mechanisms to their original positions.
1 Remove the disc from the disc tray.
2 Press A to close the disc tray.
Make sure that “NO DISC” appears on
the front panel display.
3 Wait for 10 seconds, then press ?/1 to
turn off the player.
The player enters standby mode.

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

• An audio signal of IEEE1394 components without
the i.LINK mark cannot be used.
• We do not guarantee playability when you
connect a receiver, a DVD player, Super Audio
CD/CD player, etc., from another company with
i.LINK audio input or output jack.
• If a metal object should fall into the i.LINK S200
AUDIO jack, short-circuiting may occur and
damage the components.
• Be sure to insert the plug firmly to prevent
malfunction.
• Some i.LINK components comply with copy
protection technology and handle encrypted

Establishing a LINC
Before an audio signal can be transmitted
between i.LINK components, a LINC
(Logical Interface Connection) must first be
established between the receiving component
(of the audio signal) and the sending
component.
Establishing a LINC means establishing a
logical path for the transmission of digital
audio signals between the two components.
Each logical path has an ID number. Since the
component that sends an audio signal must
output the signal to a path, and the component
that receives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually known
by both components. During the
establishment of a LINC, the following
communication occurs between the two
i.LINK components.
Example
1 STR-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES
establishes a LINC with DVP-NS9100ES.
STR-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES sends a
request and path information to DVP-
NS9100ES to establish a transmission path
for the audio signal.
2 DVP-NS9100ES responds to STR-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES, agreeing to the
establishment of a LINC. The digital audio
signal transmission becomes possible only
after the communication described above has
occurred and a LINC has been established.
Listening in high fidelity
H.A.T.S. function
When the H.A.T.S. function of STR-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES is “ON,” digital
audio signals are momentarily stored in a
buffer, then read with exact timing before
being converted to analog. This eliminates
the jitter (timing lapses) that sometimes occur
during digital signal transmission and greatly
improves sound quality.
When this function is turned on, “H.A.T.S.”
lights up in the display of STR-DA9000ES/
STR-DA7100ES whenever the digital audio
signal is input to the receiver. When not using
this function, set it to “OFF” on STR-
DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES. For details,
refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with STR-DA9000ES/STR-DA7100ES.
Notes
• Because of the way the H.A.T.S. function
operates, a slight time lag is introduced between
each operation (e.g., pressing play, stop, or pause)
and its implementation. The duration of this time
lag may be different for CD and Super Audio CD
sources.
• The H.A.T.S. function works only with H.A.T.S.
compatible components.
• The H.A.T.S. function is available only for music
CDs and Super Audio CDs.

Adjusting the brightness of
selected areas (Gamma
Correction)
Depending on your TV or viewing
environment, images on the screen may lose
definition when a certain area of the image is
so light that it appears washed out, or so dark
that it blends into the surrounding dark areas.
By correcting the Gamma value, you can
adjust the brightness of selected areas to get a
clearer image. While the “BRIGHTNESS”
adjustment controls the brightness of the
entire image, the “GAMMA” adjustment is
useful when only some portions of the image
need adjusting.
Example: You are watching a movie that is
rich in shadows and you want to see the
hidden details of the scenery.
If you use the “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment,
the entire image will become brighter, losing
definition in the areas that were initially
bright. The “GAMMA” adjustment enables
you to select the dark part and gradually
increase its brightness without sacrificing the
overall definition.

items in MEMORY,” press X/x to

“.MP3.”
– MP3 audio tracks recorded in the following
sampling frequencies: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz.
– JPEG image files with the extension
“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”
– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*
image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image
standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology

Notes
• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may
generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.

MP3PRO format.
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
About playback order of albums,
tracks, and files
The playback order of albums, MP3 audio
tracks, and JPEG image files on DATA CDs
is as follows:
◆Structure of disc contents
ROOT
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
Album
Track or file
63
Enjoying MP3 Audio and JPEG Images
When you insert a DATA CD and press H,
the numbered tracks (or files) are played
sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-
albums/tracks (or files) contained within a
currently selected album take priority over
the next album in the same tree. (Example: C
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
In the list of albums on the Control Menu
(page 64), the album names are arranged in
the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as
album E) do not appear in the list.
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track/file names when you store the tracks
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from
the above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable
if there are more than 500 albums and 999 tracks/
files in each album.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take
some time.

Dolby Digital (page 26, 82)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
discrete channels of high quality digital audio
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround
sound systems. Good channel separation is
realized because all of the channel data are
recorded discretely and little deterioration is
realized because all channel data processing
is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 25, 81)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, center and rear signals. The
rear channel is monaural.
DTS (page 26, 82)

DVD VIDEO (page 6)
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 is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided
DVD is 17 GB.
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 (average) of its
original size. The DVD also uses a variable
rate coding technology that changes the data
to be allocated according to the status of the
picture. Audio information is recorded in a
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 6, 40)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as the DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR
mode and Video mode.
DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs
created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow
the contents to be programmed or edited.
DVD+RW (page 6)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.
Film based software, Video based
software
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames (or 60 fields) per second.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection. The
HDMI connection carries standard to high
definition video signals and multi-channel
audio signals to AV components such as
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
Since the video signals are compatible with
the current DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
format, HDMI jacks can be connected to DVI
jacks by way of an HDMI-DVI converter
cord. The HDMI specification supports
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology that
incorporates coding technology for digital
video signals.
ID3 tag
ID3 tag refers to the text information (track
name/album name/artist name, etc.) that
comes with an MP3 audio track.
Index (CD/Super Audio CD)/Video Index
(VIDEO CD) (page 10, 14, 49)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a CD,
Super Audio CD, or VIDEO CD. Depending
on the disc, no index may be recorded.
Normal (Interlace) format (page 78)
Normal (Interlace) format shows every other
line of an image as a single “field” and is the
standard method for displaying images on
television. The even number field shows the
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
91
Additional Information
Progressive conversion method (page 78)
• Video based software conversion
Video shows an image by alternately
displaying every other line of an image (field)
at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace
format).
The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60
fields) per second by displaying every other
line of the image, causing scanning lines to
appear across the image. Since only half of
the image is shown at once, the amount of
information contained in an image is limited.
The Progressive format displays 60 entire
frames per seconds. The player accomplishes
this by converting each field into a frame by
using either a field-based conversion method
or a frame-based conversion method. The
appropriate method is automatically selected
by the player according to the movement of
the images on the screen. If the movement on
the screen is slow, the frame-based
conversion method borrows adjacent frame
information to fill in the missing information.
If the movement on the screen is rapid, the
field-based conversion method creates the
missing information by predicting the
movement of the images on the screen from
field to field. The end result is an image that
is higher in quality when compared to the
Interlace format.
• Film based software conversion
Film shows an image by displaying an entire
image at 24 frames per second. When you
watch a film on television, the television
displays every other line of the frame as a
field, thus reducing information level and the
clarity of the film image.
This player solves this problem by increasing
the speed at which the frames are displayed,
consecutively showing 3 identical frames
followed by 2 identical frames in the time that
it normally takes to show 2 consecutive
frames. The end result is that the 24 frames
per second are increased to 60 frames per
second, which is the speed at which
Progressive video signals are shown.
This not only allows film to be shown in a
frame based format, it also increases the
clarity and sharpness which is unique to
Progressive format images.
Progressive format (page 78)
Compared to the Normal (Interlace) format
that alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that while
the Normal (Interlace) format can show 25 or
30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the
Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and horizontal
lines appear sharper. This player is
compatible with the 480 (525) progressive
format.

Scene (page 10, 14, 49)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
Super Audio CD (page 6)
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
1)
: A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2
channel area or the multi-channel area.
• 2 channel area: An area in which 2
channel stereo tracks are recorded
• Multi-channel area: An area in which
multi-channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks
are recorded
1) You 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.
3) To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback Area
for a Super Audio CD” (page 41).
4) To select an area, see “Selecting a Playback Area
for a Super Audio CD” (page 41).
Title (page 10, 14, 49)
