Caring for others  
On transportation  
Keep the volume at a moderate level.  
This will allow you to hear outside  
sounds and to be considerate to the  
people around you.  
• When you transport this player, use  
the original carton box and packing  
materials.  
• Before you move this player, make  
sure to remove any discs from the  
player.  
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 the turntable does not work  
properly, check for dust or dirt on the  
turntable and clean using a soft cloth.  
• Never remove the printed “Warranty  
void if removed.” seal attached  
around the lens.  
• If dust on the lens prevents the player  
from operating properly, clean the lens  
with a commercially available blower  
brush for the camera lens. Be careful  
not to touch the lens directly.  
On handling the LCD screen  
The LCD is manufactured using high-  
precision technology. You may,  
however, see tiny black points and/or  
bright points (red, blue, or green) that  
continuously appear on the LCD.  
This is a normal result of the  
manufacturing process and does not  
indicate a malfunction.  
• Do not scratch the LCD or exert  
pressure on it. This could cause  
malfunction.  
• Using the player in low temperature  
conditions may produce a residual  
image on the screen. This is not a  
malfunction. When the player returns  
to normal temperature, the screen  
returns to normal.  
Do not use the lens cleaning disc. If  
you do so, the lens may be damaged.  
• A residual image may appear on the  
screen if the same image is displayed  
for a lengthy period of time. The  
residual image disappears in a while.  
You can use a screen saver to prevent  
residual images.  
• The screen becomes warm during  
operation. This is normal and does not  
indicate a malfunction.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult  
your nearest Sony dealer.

You can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by connecting the component via the  
OPTICAL OUT connector using an optical digital connecting cord (not supplied).  
For details on hookups and settings, see page 22.  
Notes  
When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord,  
do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG” and  
“DTS” to “ON” in “DIGITAL OUT.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come  
out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be  
damaged.  
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord, set  
“VES” to “OFF” in the Control Menu display (page 60). Otherwise, the player will  
not output the following signals from the OPTICAL OUT connector.  
– Dolby Digital signals (when you select “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” and  
set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM”)  
– MPEG audio  
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and  
output the signals which do not reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect,  
set “DOWNMIX” to “NORMAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.  
• You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in multi-channel  
surround format directly using an MD deck or DAT deck.

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups  
With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG audio sound,  
you can enjoy the surround sound while producing the effect of being  
in a movie theater or a concert hall using a digital component with a  
built-in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The  
player outputs the surround sound signals from the OPTICAL OUT  
connector.  
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL OUT connector and  
6 speakers, you can enjoy even greater real audio presence in the  
comfort of your own home.  
Be sure to set the LINE SELECT switch to OUT.  
Note  
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the  
output audio signals are mixed down to 5.1 channels.

Notes  
• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet before completing all connections.

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 even  
if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 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 54.) If you have made the connections using an  
optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will  
come out.  
• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD  
with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing  
the speakers to be damaged.  
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD  
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the  
connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when  
you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.  
• 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 “AUDIO SETUP” 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 “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if  
you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and 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. To make the screen saver image go away,

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio data per second in a disc. The  
higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. When the bit rate level is  
high, there is a large amount of data. However, this does not always mean  
that you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.  
LAYER  
Appears when the DVD has  
dual layers  
Indicates the approximate point where the disc is playing.  
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates which layer is being read  
(“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”).  
For details on the layers, see page 107 (DVD).

(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “DIGITAL OUT”)  
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio  
component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The output  
signals which reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed  
down to 2 channels.  
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio component that does  
not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The signal without the Dolby  
Surround (Pro Logic) effect are output.  
Setting the digital output signal (DIGITAL OUT)  
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1.  
a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital  
connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby  
Digital, MPEG or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD using an optical digital  
connecting cord. For connection details, see pages 19 and 22.  
Note  
When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and  
play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals are converted  
to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). When you have made the connections using an  
audio connecting cord, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz and the output signals are  
converted to analog signals.  
xDOLBY DIGITAL  
Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output when you have made the  
connections using an optical digital connecting cord.  
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the  
output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select  
whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by  
making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in “AUDIO SETUP.”  
• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component  
with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.  
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby  
Digital decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the Dolby  
Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the  
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Glossary  
Bit rate (page 64)  
Dolby Pro Logic (page 92)  
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.  
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 8, 93)  
Chapter (page 7)  
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.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 60)  
The general name of technology that  
Sony developed to enjoy surround  
sound in a home. It simulates the sound  
of a movie editing studio instead of the  
usual concert hall so that you can enjoy  
the surround sound of a movie theater  
in the comfort of your own home. The  
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)  
system contained in DCS programs can  
create the sound image of virtual rear  
speakers from the sound of the front  
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear  
speakers.

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.  
Dolby Digital (pages 22, 93)  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2
