Operating Instructions
DVP-F35P
© 2004 Sony Corporation
• Do not insert a disc with non-standard shape
(e.g., card, heart) into the player. The disc
may not be ejected and cause a malfunction.
• When you move the player, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
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 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 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
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
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.
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 that might block the
ventilation holes.
• Do not place the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal or vertical position only.
• Keep the player and discs away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined
space, such as bookcase or built-in cabinet.
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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
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.

TVS was developed by Sony to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV.
The format of the current audio signal (Dolby
Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) appears as shown
below.

DVD software can be divided into two types:
film based software and video based

from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (25

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
mode (50 or 60 frames per second), the
progressive video signal needs to be
converted to match the type of DVD software
that you are watching.

Film based software, Video based
software (page 19)
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.
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.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames/60 fields (24 frames/50 fields) per
second.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 JPEG
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.
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD

Scene (page 10)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (the length of
a song). (“Track” in DATA-CD is an
exclusive definition for this player.)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO
CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be
recorded.
