Features

Thank you for purchasing this Sony SACD/DVD player.

Here are some of the features you will enjoy.

Compatible with progressive (480p) signal

format TVs

By connecting your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

connectors on this player, you can choose between the

standard interlace signals or the high quality progressive

signals if your TV accepts the progressive signal format.

When outputting the progressive signal, you can set the

signal to match either video or film based software to

ensure a perfect match between the DVD software and

your hardware.

Capable of playing 2 channel SACDs (Super Audio

CD)

This player will play both standard audio CDs and the

high quality sounds contained in the HD (high density)

layer of stereo Super Audio CDs.

Capable of detailed video image settings

In addition to standard brightness and color settings, this

player also has a variety of ways to reduce noise, increase

sharpness and adjust the gamma value to create the ideal

image. Furthermore, these adjustments can either be

saved for each of your discs (Playback Memory) or can be

saved to one of five settings (memory 1 through 5) so you

can quickly adjust the player to the type of DVD software

that you are watching.

High quality sound reproduction

By pressing the AUDIO DIRECT button on the player, the

digital audio output and video output can be cut. This

will eliminate the effects of the digital audio and video

circuitry, thus providing even clearer analog audio output.

The VIDEO ON/OFF button on the remote can be used to

cut just the video signal. Use these buttons when you

want to experience the full clarity of an audio CD such as

an Super Audio CD.

Access control (Custom Parental Control)

You can set a password that will control the access of a

maximum of 300 discs.

Adjustable display brightness and high visibility

remote buttons

You can adjust the brightness of the front panel display, or

turn it off completely. This is useful when you are

watching a movie with the lights turned low and you do

not want to be disturbed by a bright display window.

Conversely, selected buttons on the remote can be set to

light up so that you can operate your player when the

room is dark.

This Player Can Play the Following Discs

Audio

Super Audio CDs

Super Audio CD (SACD)

An SACD disc can reproduce sounds that are extremely

faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct

Stream Digital) technology. This technology utilizes a

sampling frequency of 2.8224MHz, which is 64 times that

of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables

the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a

standard PCM format CD can hold. SACDs are divided

into the following types.

• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)

This disc consists of a single HD layer*.

Press SACD/CD repeatedly so that the SACD indicator

on the player lights up.

* High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD

• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)

This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of

extended play over long periods.

Press SACD/CD repeatedly so that the SACD indicator

on the player lights up.

Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual HD layers

on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over

during playback.

• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)

This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD layer. Press

SACD/CD while the disc is stopped to select the layer

you want to listen to. Also, as the dual layers are on one

side only, you do not have to turn the disc over during

playback. You can play the CD layer using a

conventional CD player.

This Player Can Play the Following Discs

DVD

A DVD disc contains both audio and visual data, and is

either 12 or 8 centimeters in diameter. A 12 centimeter disc

can hold 7 times the amount of data contained in a CD-

ROM, which translates to 4 consecutive hours of playing

time (8 hours for double-sided discs). DVD discs are

divided into 4 types: single sided single layer, single sided

double layer, double sided single layer, and double sided

double layer.

• Single-layer single-sided: Capacity 4.7 GB

• Double-layer single-sided: Capacity 8.5 GB

• Single-layer double-sided: Capacity 9.4 GB

• Double-layer double-sided: Capacity 17 GB

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD

The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the

DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No

sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a

built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to

“ON” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS

sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• When you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF”, no sound

will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and

COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on

DVDs.

Notes

• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for

15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. It

will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15

minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press H.

(If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 54.)

• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player by pressing

POWER. Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When

you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then

press @/1 on the remote. After the power indicator lights up in

red and the player enters standby mode, press POWER on the

player.

After following Step 4

xWhen playing a DVD

A DVD menu or title menu may appear on the TV

screen (see page 24).

xWhen playing a VIDEO CD

Depending on the VIDEO CD, a menu may appear on

the TV screen. You can play the disc interactively by

following the instructions on the menu. (PBC Playback,

see page 25.)

To turn on the player

Press POWER on the player. The player enters standby

mode and the power indicator lights up in red.

Then press @/1 on the remote. The player turns on and

the power indicator lights up in green. In standby mode,

the player also turns on by pressing A on the player or by

pressing H.

To turn off the player

Press @/1 on the remote. The player enters standby

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

• 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 connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO

SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the setup display, and may affect

your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks

on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 35.) If you set

the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the

DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may

come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears

or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Adjusting the areas of an image that are

too light or dark (Gamma Correction)

Depending on your TV or viewing environment, images

on the screen may lose definition because certain areas of

the image are too light or too dark. When it is too light,

the image will appear to be washed out, and when it is

too dark, the image will blend into the surrounding dark

areas.

By correcting the Gamma value, you can alter the

brightness of selected areas so that the image can be seen

clearly. Since the BRIGHTNESS adjustment controls the

brightness of the entire image, the Gamma adjustment is

useful when you need to increase the brightness of just

the area that is too bright or too dark.

Example: You are watching a movie that is rich in

shadows and you want to be able to see the details of the

scenery hidden in these shadows.

If you use the BRIGHTNESS function to increase the

brightness, the brightness of the entire image will

increase, thus causing the light areas of the image to

become washed out. By using the Gamma Correction

feature, you can gradually increase the brightness of just

the dark areas of an image without sacrificing the detail of

the entire image.

1 Select “VIDEO CONTROL” using M/m and press

ENTER.

want to correct the gamma value by pressing M/m

and a "Making of" sequence taken on video.

• If you select “VIDEO” and play back a DVD that contains Film

based software, sections of images may be unclear.

• When you select “AUTO,” sections of images may become

unclear. This happens when the output signal tag (progressive/

interlace) is not correct on the software. If this happens, set the

conversion mode to “VIDEO.”

x 4:3 OUTPUT

Note

If you select “PROGRESSIVE” in spite of you connect the player

to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format, the

image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set SCAN SELECT

switch on the back panel of the player to “INTERLACE.” Then

set “COMPONEMT OUT” to “INTERLACE” after you can see

the TV screen correctly, and set SCAN SELECT to

“SELECTABLE.”

x MODE (Conversion Modes)

DVD software can be divided into two types: film based

software and video based software. Video based software

is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and

displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film

based software is derived from film and displays images

at 24 frames per second. In order for these images to

appear natural on your screen when output in

PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per second), the

progressive video signal needs to be converted to match

the type of software that you are watching. For more

information about conversion modes, see "Progressive

Conversion methods of Film Based and Video Based

Software."

Progressive Conversion Methods of Film

Based and Video Based Software

This player converts video based software and film based

software in the following manner.

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.

Furthermore, 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 makes borrows adjacent field

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.

Additional Information

Bit rate (page 42)

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, the larger the

amount of data. However, this does not always mean that

you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter (page 7)

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 (pages 12, 61)

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

processed in digital.

Dolby Pro Logic (pages 12, 61)

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 (pages 12, 61)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater

Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-

channel surround. 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 processed in

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 dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a

dual-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 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 data is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS, 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.

Film based software (page 63)

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 theatres.

Interlace format (page 63)

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.

Multi-angle function (page 37)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video

camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (pages 16, 37, 53)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a

picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 43, 57)

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, playback is completely prohibited,

violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes,

and so on.

Glossary

Additional Information

Playback Control (PBC) (page 25)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control

playback.

By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC

functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive

programs, programs with search functions, and so on.

Progressive format (page 63)

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.

Super Audio CD (SACD) (page 6)

This audio format is based upon the current audio CD

standards but includes a greater amount of information

which provides higher quality sound. There are three

types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs.

The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and

Super Audio CD information.

Title (page 7)

The longest section 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 audio software.

Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate

the title you want.

Track (page 7)

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.

Glossary

Video based software (page 62, 63)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based

software. Television dramas or sit-coms are examples of

Video based software and display images at 30 frames (or

60 fields) per second.

VIDEO CD (page 7)

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 player conforms to both versions.
