Is work with line 220W?

No. For it to work in a country that uses 220 W, you will have to buy a travel adapter.

Does the dvd player inside the unit sound loud when a dvd is playing if you are near the unit?

I don't use my unit a lot, but I haven't noticed any noise from my unit. But, remember, these are rebuilt units, so, there could be some inconsistency. At this price, I think it's worth taking the chance.

Why are vhs players so expensive / where can I buy one for my old tapes

They are no longer made. Perfect example of supply and demand

I can not record from vhs to DVD?

With such a device, you can't record from VHS to DVD. In order to convert VHS to Digital format, you need to buy a VHS to DVD converter.

Is there a vcr that can tape a program while watching another station?

No unfortunately. This model can however play vhs or dvd or convert old vhs content to dvd!

Does it come with a remote control?

I got one when I bought this product. It advertised that it had a Remote Control. Some don't. You have to ask or be sure, I would also recommend getting one that has a manual with it. Its about 90 pages to download from the computer if it does't

• 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

• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.

• This 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.

• Install this system so that the power cord can be

unplugged from the wall socket immediately in

the event of trouble.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do

not intend to use it for an extended period of

time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the

plug, never by the cord.

On placement

• Do not install the unit in a confined space such

as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It

is designed to be operated in a horizontal

warm location, or is placed in a very damp

room, moisture may condense on the lenses

inside the player and cause damage to the video

head, tape, and the optical block. Should this

occur, the player may not operate properly.

When you first install the player, or when you

move it from a cold to a warm location, remove

the disc and tape and leave the player turned on

for about three hours before operating the

player.

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, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners

(including wet or spray types). These may cause

the player to malfunction.

On cleaning the video heads

When the video heads are dirty, clean the video

heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If

a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your

area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony

dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do

not use a commercially available liquid type

cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video

heads.

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 DVD 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 jack of the DVD player.

• Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD

(page 65).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 44), 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 AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 44).

• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to

“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 44). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

* “DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are registered trademarks of DTS, Inc.

Glossary

Chapter (page 28)

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 (pages 22 and 45)

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 (page 23)

Audio signal processing technology that

Dolby Laboratories developed for surround

sound. When the input signal contains a

surround component, the process outputs the

front, center and rear signals. The rear

channel is monaural.

DTS (page 45)

Digital audio compression technology that

DTS, 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 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 17GB.

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+R (page 7)

A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable

disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.

Contents can be recorded only once to a

DVD+R, and will have the same format as a

DVD VIDEO.

DVD-R (page 7)

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the

same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be

recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will

have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.

The DVD-R has two different modes:

VR mode and Video mode. DVDs 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.

Glossary

DVD-RW (page 7)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable

disc that is the same size as a 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 7)

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.

Interlace format

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.

Progressive format (pages 21 and 48)

Compared to the 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 Interlace format can show 30 frames/60

fields in one second, the Progressive format

can show 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 progressive format.

Title (page 28)

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 28)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a

CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
