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.  
Precautions  
On safety  
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 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 power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source (mains) 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 (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners  
Do not use a commercially available  
cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or  
spray type). These may cause the  
apparatus to malfunction.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This player is capable of holding a  
still video image or on-screen display image  
on your television screen indefinitely. If  
you leave the still video image or on-screen  
display image displayed on your TV for an  
extended period of time you risk permanent  
damage to your television screen. Plasma  
display panel televisions and projection  
televisions are susceptible to this.  
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.  
• 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 transporting the player  
Before transporting the player, follow the  
procedure below to return the internal  
mechanisms to their original positions.  
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.

Using the PROGRESSIVE button  
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in  
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for  
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs  
progressive signals.  
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:  
,
PROGRESSIVE AUTO  
m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO  
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)  
PROGRESSIVE AUTO  
Select this setting when:  
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,  
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.  
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and  
selects the appropriate conversion method.  
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when  
either of the above conditions is not met.  
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO  
Select this setting when:  
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,  
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and  
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.  
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.  
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when  
either of the above conditions is not met.  
NORMAL (INTERLACE)  
Select this setting when:  
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,  
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT  
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).  
About DVD software types and the conversion method  
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 (25 frames/50 fields) per second. Film-based software is derived from film  
and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.  
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format,  
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are  
watching.  
Note  
When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may  
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.  
Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the  
normal (interlace) format.

sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers  
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,  
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.  
TVS was developed by Sony to produce  
surround sound for home use using just a  
stereo TV.

Notes  
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the  
player can play  
• The player will play any data with the extension  
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not  
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may  
generate a loud noise which could damage your  
speaker system.  
• The player does not conform to audio tracks in  
mp3PRO format.  
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.  
• You cannot play MP3 audio tracks/JPEG image  
files in DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that contain  
DivX video files.  
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/  
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-  
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/

contain the same images (24 frames per  
second) that are shown at movie theatres.  
Video based DVDs, such as television  
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30  
frames/60 fields (25 frames/50 fields) per  
second.  
DVD VIDEO (page 5)  
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, a  
worldwide standard 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 realistic audio  
presence.  
MPEG audio (page 19, 72)  
International standard coding system used to  
compress audio digital signals authorized by  
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-  
channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs,  
conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.  
Normal (Interlace) format (page 17)  
Normal (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.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
Progressive format (page 17)  
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 25 or 30 frames  
(50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive  
format can show 50-60 frames in one second.  
The overall picture quality increases and still  
images, text, and horizontal lines appear  
sharper. This player is compatible with the  
525 or 625 progressive format.  
DVD-RW (page 5)  
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, while discs created in VR (Video  
Recording) mode allow the contents to be  
programmed or edited.  
DVD+RW (page 5)  
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.  
Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the  
internet. They are different from other JPEGs  
in that they “fade in” gradually instead of  
being drawn from top to bottom when  
displayed on a browser. This lets you view the  
image while it is being downloaded.  
File (page 54, 56)  
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/  
DATA DVD or DivX video (“File” is an  
exclusive definition for this player.) A single  
file consists of a single image or movie.  
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.  
Film based software, Video based  
software (page 17)  
DVDs can be classified as Film based or  
Video based software. Film based DVDs
