• Do not place the system in a place where medical  
equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of  
medical equipment.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On safety  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects  
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or  
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or  
shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall  
into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before operating it  
any further.  
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device,  
consult your physician or the manufacturer of your  
medical device before using the wireless LAN  
function.  
On operation  
• If the system 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 unit. Should  
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In  
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned  
on for about half an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with  
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you  
do not, the disc may be damaged.  
On power sources  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) 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 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 suddenly played.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet  
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.  
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do  
not place the system in a confined space where  
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the system can overheat and malfunction.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
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 system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens  
cleaners  
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause  
the apparatus to malfunction.  
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as  
a bookshelf or similar unit.  
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as  
radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or  
shock.  
On replacement of parts  
• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired  
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling  
purposes.  
• Do not install the system on its face or back. It is  
designed to be operated in a vertical position only.  
• Keep the system and discs away from components  
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or  
large loudspeakers.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have  
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the TV set.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.  
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel.  
They may limit reception of radio waves.

This system can only play a standard circular  
disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs  
(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a  
malfunction.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system 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

permanent damage to your television screen.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.  
Do not use a lens cleaning disc.  
On moving the system  
• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
Notes about the Discs  
On handling discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in  
a car parked in direct sunlight as the  
temperature may rise considerably inside the  
car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.

BD-ROM  
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory)  
are commercially produced discs and are  
available in the same capacities as the BD  
below. Other than conventional movie and video  
contents, these discs have enhanced features  
such as interactive content, menu operations  
using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle  
display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM  
may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM  
discs will contain movies in High Definition  
format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD  
players.  
Glossary  
AVCHD  
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital  
video camera format used to record SD  
(standard definition) or HD (high definition)  
signals of either the 1080i specification* or the  
720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient  
data compression coding technology. The  
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to  
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or  
Linear PCM system is used to compress audio  
data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is  
capable of compressing images at higher  
efficiency than that of the conventional image  
compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264  
format enables a high definition (HD) video  
signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to  
be recorded on DVD discs in the same way as it  
would be for a standard definition (SD)  
television signal.  
Blu-ray Disc (BD)  
A disc format developed for recording/playing  
high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.),  
and for storing large amounts of data. A single  
layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a  
dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of  
data.  
Dolby Digital  
In this format, the surround speakers output  
stereo sound with an expanded frequency range,  
and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. This format is also  
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel  
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions  
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
since all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.  
* A high definition specification that utilizes 1080  
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.  
**A high definition specification that utilizes 720  
effective scanning lines and the progressive format.  
BD-J application  
The BD-ROM format supports Java for  
interactive functions.  
“BD-J” offers content providers almost  
unlimited functionality when creating  
interactive BD-ROM titles.  
BD-R  
Dolby Digital Plus  
BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a  
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available  
in the same capacities as the BD below. Since  
contents can be recorded and cannot be  
overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive  
valuable data or store and distribute video  
material.  
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the  
audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-  
channel surround sound.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology  
that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel  
surround sound for the next generation of optical  
discs. The reproduced sound is true to the  
original source bit-for-bit.  
BD-RE  
BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a  
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,  
available in the same capacities as the BD  
below. The re-recordable feature makes  
extensive editing and time-shifting applications  
possible.

DTS  
Parental Control  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format  
includes a stereo rear channel and a discrete  
subwoofer channel. DTS provides the same 5.1  
discrete channels of high quality digital audio.  
The good channel separation is realized due to  
the all channel data being recorded discretely  
and processed in digitally.  
A function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of  
the disc by the age of the users according to 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.  
PhotoTV HD  
“PhotoTV HD” allows for highly-detailed  
pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle  
textures and colors. By connecting Sony  
“PhotoTV HD” compatible devices using an  
HDMI cable, a whole new world of photos can  
be enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality. For  
instance, the delicate texture of the human skin,  
flowers, sand and waves can now be displayed  
on a large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital  
Surround format. It supports a maximum  
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-  
channel surround.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a  
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with  
lossy compression.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
Pop-up menu  
DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum  
transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses  
lossless compression, and DTS-HD Master  
Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling  
frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.  
An enhanced menu operation available on BD-  
ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when POP  
UP/MENU is pressed during playback, and can  
be operated while playback is in progress.  
Progressive format  
(sequential scanning)  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface)  
In contrast to the Interlace format, the  
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames  
per second by reproducing all scanning lines  
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall  
picture quality increases and still images, text  
and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format  
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive  
format.  
HDMI is an interface that supports both video  
and audio on a single digital connection,  
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital  
picture and sound. The HDMI specification  
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection), a copy protection  
technology that incorporates coding technology  
for digital video signals.  
24p True Cinema  
Interlace format  
(Interlaced scanning)  
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24  
frames per second.  
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard  
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames  
per second. Each frame is scanned twice -  
alternately between the even numbered scanning  
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at  
60 times per second.  
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and  
flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50  
second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at  
an even pace.  
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities,  
the player displays each frame at 1/24 second  
intervals — the same interval originally shot  
with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing  
the original cinema image.  
LTH (Low to High)  
LTH is a recording system that supports organic  
pigment type BD-R.
