Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments
with 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.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN
10.5 V (external power input) jack.
On power sources
• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.
Do not use any other AC power adaptor. It
may cause a malfunction.
• If the AC power adaptor causes interference
to the radio or television reception, move it
away from the radio or television.
• Do not touch the AC power adaptor with
wet hands.
• 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.
• Use a commercially available AC plug
adaptor, if necessary, depending on the
design of the wall outlet.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player and the AC power
adaptor on a soft surface such as a rug.
• Do not place the player and the AC power
adaptor in a location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not put any object on top of the player.
The player may be damaged.
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.
• Do not insert a disc with non-standard
shape (e.g., card, heart) into the player. The
disc may not be ejected and cause a
malfunction.
• When you move the player, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
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 “Memory Stick”
• Do not insert any foreign object such as
metal into the “Memory Stick” slot. It may
cause a malfunction.

TV Virtual Surround
Settings (TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, TV Virtual Surround lets you enjoy
surround sound effects by using sound
imaging to create virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R:
right) without using actual rear speakers.
This function is designed to work with the
AUDIO OUT L/R jacks. Note that if you
select one of the TVS settings while playing
a DVD, the player does not output the Dolby
Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) jack (when you set “DOLBY
DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-
PCM”) (page 92).

TVS DYNAMIC
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in
the illustration below. The sound imaging
effect is distinct and clearly reproduces each
aural element of the audio track.
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TVS WIDE
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in
the illustration below. This gives the sound
an expanded effect that fills the area
surrounding the listener.
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TVS NIGHT
The large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are
unaffected. This feature is useful when you
do not want to disturb other people but still
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE.”
TVS STANDARD
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in
the illustration below. Use this setting when
you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers
and retain the sound quality.

Sound Adjustments
z You can select “TVS” directly by pressing

item changes. If you select any setting other than
“OFF,” the SURROUND indicator on the player lights
up.
Notes
• When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a
moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for
the rear speakers (page 58), the surround effects may
be difficult to hear.
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the
surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier
(receiver).
• Make sure that your listening position is between
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that
the speakers are located in similar surroundings.
Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern.
• “TVS NIGHT” works only with Dolby Digital
audio. However, not all discs will respond to the
“TVS NIGHT” function in the same way.
• If you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY
DIGITAL,” or “DTS” to “ON” (page 91), sound will
come from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack but
it will not have the TVS effect.

About MP3 Audio Tracks
and JPEG Image Files
What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations.
JPEG is image compression technology.
Discs that the player can play
You can play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs or CD-
RWs (DATA-CD). However, the discs must
be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1,
level 2 or Joliet format for the player to
recognize the tracks (or files).
You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software
(not supplied) for details on the recording
format.
Note on the multi-session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded
in the first session, the player will play MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files also in other sessions.
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.
Note
Since the player cannot play the discs created in the
Packet Write format, you cannot view the JPEG
images recorded using the following Sony products
(as of February, 2002):
– Digital Photo Printer DPP-SV88
– Digital Still Camera MVC-CD1000, MVC-
CD200, MVC-CD300
MP3 audio track or JPEG image file
that the player can play
The player can play the MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files:
• which have extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio
track) or “.JPG” (JPEG image file)
• which conform to the DCF* image file
format
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image
standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan
Electronic Industries Development Association
(JEIDA)
Notes
• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3” or “.JPG,” even if they are not in MP3 or
JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud
noise which could damage your speaker system.
• The player does not conform to audio in MP3PRO
format.
continued
,

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
or JPEG image files
The albums, MP3 audio tracks, or JPEG
image files recorded in a DATA-CD will be
played as follows:
Structure of disc contents
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.)
When you press MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 67), 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
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.
z Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, place your albums within the first two trees
when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc.
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 999 albums and tracks (or files)
in the DATA-CD.
• The player can recognize up to 499th album (the
player will count just albums, including albums that
do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image
files). The player will not play any albums beyond
the first 499 album. Of the first 499 albums, the
player will play no more than a combined total of
999 albums and tracks (or files).

Additional Information
Glossary
Album (page 67, 69, 76)
A unit in which to store JPEG image files or
MP3/ATRAC3 audio tracks on a DATA-
CDs or “Memory Stick.” (“Album” is an
exclusive definition for this player.)
ATRAC3 (page 73)
ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic
Coding 3), is audio compression technology
that satisfies the demand for high sound
quality and high compression rates. The
ATRAC3 compression rate is approximately
10 times higher than that of the audio CD
format, resulting in increased data capacity.
Chapter (page 11)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
Dolby Digital (page 24, 92)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio
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 91)
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 24, 92)
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. DTS provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital
audio.
Good channel separation is realized because
all of the channel data is recorded discretely
and little deterioration is realized because all
channel data processing is digital.
DVD-RW (page 41)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc with the same size as the DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW can be recorded in two
different modes: VR mode and Video mode.
VR (Video Recording) mode enables various
programming and editing functions, some of
which are limited in the case of Video mode.
Video mode complies with DVD VIDEO
format and is compatible with DVD players
while a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode can
only be played on DVD-RW compliant
players. The “DVD-RW” appears in this
manual, or the on-screen display refers to
DVD-RWs in VR mode.
DVD VIDEO (page 7)
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.
continued
,
98
The DVD VIDEO 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
Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, 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 VIDEO.
File (page 69, 76)
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA-CD or
“Memory Stick.” (“File” is an exclusive
definition for this player.) A single file
consists of a single image.
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page
50)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO
CD or CD. Depending on the disc, no index
may be recorded.
Parental Control (page 78)
A function of the DVD VIDEO used to limit
playback of the disc according to the age of
the user and the limitation level in each
country. The limitation varies from disc to
disc; when it is activated, or playback is
completely prohibited, violent scenes are
skipped or replaced with other scenes, etc.
Region Code (page 7)
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD
player or DVD disc according to the sales
region. Each region code is shown on the
player as well as on the disc packaging. The
player can play the discs that match its region
code. The player can also play discs with the
mark. Even when the region code is not
shown on the DVD, the region limit may still
be activated.
SDMI
SDMI which stands for Secure Digital Music
Initiative, is a forum that consists of over 130
companies in the fields of recorded audio
content, computers, and consumer
electronics, dedicated to developing an
integrated method of copyright protection
technology that can be used worldwide.
SDMI is working to create a framework for
preventing improper usage of audio files and
to promote legal music distribution services.
Scene (page 11)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
Title (page 11)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
Track (page 11)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
VIDEO CD, CD, DATA-CD or “MG
Memory Stick” (the length of a song).
(“Track” in DATA-CD or “MG Memory
Stick” is an exclusive definition for this
player.)
TV Virtual Surround (TVS) (page 59)
Technology from Sony developed to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV. Designed to work with the sound
characteristics of your TV, this technology
brings the excitement of surround sound to
your home using nothing more than your
stereo TV’s internal speakers. Furthermore,
various TVS modes are available. For
example, “TVS WIDE” uses just two
speakers to create a virtual sound
environment that makes you feel like you are
surrounded by multiple speakers.
