BIT RATE

When playing MPEG audio sound tracks:

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio

data per second in a disc. The higher the bit

rate, the larger the amount of data. When the

bit rate level is high, there is a large amount of

data. However, this does not always mean that

you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.

LAYER

This item indicates the approximate point

where the disc is playing. When the DVD has

dual layers, the system indicates which layer is

being read (“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”). For details

on the layers, see page 62 (DVD).

Additional Information

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the unit, check that the operating

voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of

your local power supply.

On safety

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if it is

not to be used for an extended period of time. To

disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the

plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

component, unplug the unit and have the

component checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• The AC power cord must be changed only at a

qualified service shop.

On placement

• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

• Do not place the unit in locations where it is:

— extremely hot or cold.

— dusty or dirty.

— very humid.

— vibrating.

— subject to direct sunlight.

On heat buildup

• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is

not a malfunction.

• Place the unit in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.

If you continuously use this unit at a large volume,

the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom

rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not

touch the cabinet.

To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation

hole for the cooling fan.

On operation

• 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 lens inside the DVD player.

Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly.

Remove the disc and leave the unit turned on for

about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the unit, take out any discs.

If you have any questions or problems concerning the

unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on discs

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray

intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.

This may cause a malfunction to the system.

• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky

substance on the label side of the disc or that used a

special ink when the label was printed, there is a

chance that the disc or label may become attached

to parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may

not be possible to remove the disc, and may also

cause this unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that

the label side of the disc is not sticky before using.

The following types of disc should not be used:

— Rental or used discs with attached seals where

the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter

of the seal on the disc is tacky.

— Discs that have labels printed using a special ink

that feels tacky when touched.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,

star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do

so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be

played back because of scratches, dirt, recording

condition or the drive's characteristics. Besides, the

discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of

recording, cannot be played back.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild

detergent solution.

Hooking Up the Optional Components/Additional Information

Precautions (continued)

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded

over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as

illustrated.

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover

the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be

careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the

tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

Before placing a cassette in the tape

deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may

get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become

damaged.

When using a tape longer than

90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape

operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc.

frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape

deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.

Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an

important recording or after playing an old tape. Use

a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning

cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the

cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that

have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use

with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For

details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing

cassette.

In case color irregularity is observed

on nearby a TV screen

With the magnetically shielded type of speaker

system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set.

However, color irregularity may still be observed on

the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

Design and specifications are subject to change

without notice.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology that the

Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This

technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.

The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete

subwoofer channel in this format. DTS

provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high

quality digital audio. The good channel

separation is realized because the all channel

data is recorded discrete and processed in

digital.

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.

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 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 the DVD.

Index (CD) / Video Index (VIDEO CD)

A number that divides a track into sections to

easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO

CD or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes

may be recorded.

Glossary

Bit Rate

Value indicating the amount of video data

compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is

Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates

that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The

higher the bit rate is, the larger the amount of

data. However, this does not always mean that

you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a

DVD 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

This sound format for movie theaters is more

advanced than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In

this format, the rear speakers output stereo

sound with an expanded frequency range and a

subwoofer channel for deep bass is

independently provided. This format is also

called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is

counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only

when a deep bass effect is needed). All six

channels in this format are recorded separately

to realize superior channel separation.

Furthermore, since all the signals are processed

digitally, less signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,

Dolby Pro Logic Surround produces four

channels from two-channel sound. Compared

with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby

Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to-right

panning more naturally and localizes sounds

more precisely. To take full advantage of

Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you should have

one pair of rear speakers and a centre speaker.

The rear speakers output monaural sound.

Additional Information

Multi-angle function

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video

camera, for a scene are recorded on some

DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a

picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback 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, violent

scenes are skipped or replaced with other

scenes and so on.

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.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A

region number is allocated on each DVD

system or DVD disc according to the sales

region. Each region code is shown on the

system as well as on the disc packaging. The

system can play the discs that match its region

code. The system can also play discs with the

“

ALL

” mark. Even when the region code is not

shown on the DVD, the region limit may still

be activated.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions (page

25), the menu screens, moving pictures, and

still pictures are divided into sections called

“scenes”. Each scene is assigned a scene

number enabling you to locate the scene you

want.

Title

The longest sections of a picture or a music

piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture

piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a

music piece on an audio software. Each title is

assigned a title number enabling you to locate

the title you want.

Track

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD

or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a track

number enabling you to locate the track you

want.

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 high-resolution still

pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This system conforms to both versions.
