Precautions
On safety
• The power requirements and power consumption
of this player are indicated on the back of the
player. Check that the player’s operating voltage
is identical with your local power supply.
• 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.
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 on the
bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
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 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your player, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
For the model supplied with the AC
plug adaptor
If the AC plug of your unit does not fit into the wall
outlet, attach the supplied AC plug adaptor.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on
a CD
•When playing DTS-encoded CDs,
excessive noise will be heard from the
analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, the consumer
should take proper precautions when the
analog stereo jacks of the player are
connected to an amplification system. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an
external 5.1-channel decoder system must
be connected to the digital jacks of the
player.
•Set the sound to “STEREO” using the
AUDIO button when you play DTS sound
tracks on a CD (page 42).
•Do not play DTS sound tracks without first
connecting the player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder.
The player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and
COAXIAL) jacks even if “DTS” in
“AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the
Setup Display (page 60), and may affect
your ears or cause your speakers to be
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS
sound track
•DTS audio signals are output only through
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and
COAXIAL) jacks.
•If you connect the player to audio
equipment without a DTS decoder, do not
set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 59). A loud noise may come out from
the speakers, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
•When you play a DVD with DTS sound
tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO
SETUP” (page 59).

With stereo CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can
select the sound from the right or left channel
and listen to the sound of the selected channel
through both the right and left speakers. (In

a song with the vocals on the right channel
and the instruments on the left channel, you

TV Virtual Surround Sound
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
LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks.
Note that if you select one of the TVS settings
while playing a DVD, the player does not
output Dolby Digital signals from the
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL and OPTICAL)
jacks (
when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in
“AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”
) (page 59).

To reset the TVS setting
In Step 2, select “OFF.”
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) DYNAMIC
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L/R) without using actual rear speakers
(shown 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 (TV Virtual Surround) 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 (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT
The large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are
unaffected. This feature is useful when you
don’t want to disturb other people but still
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) 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.
z
You can also change the TVS setting by pressing
SURROUND on the player. If you select any TVS
setting other than “OFF,” the 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 43), the surround effects may
be difficult to hear.
• When you select one of the TV modes, turn off the
surround setting of 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 only works with Dolby Digital discs.
However, not all discs will respond to the TVS
NIGHT function in the same way.
• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL and
OPTICAL) jacks and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to
“DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound
will come from your speakers but it will not have the
TVS effect.

Glossary
Chapter (page 9)
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 23, 59)
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 is recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 22)
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 23, 60)
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 (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 it’s
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
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.
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page
9)
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 47)
A function of the DVD 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 6)
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. This 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.
Scene (page 9)
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 9)
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 9)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
VIDEO CD or CD (the length of a song).
TV Virtual Surround (TVS) (page 43)
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.
