Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have  
been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA  
DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.  
Notes about Multi Session CD  
• This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any  
subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played.

session, only the first session will be played.  
Region code  
Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play a DVD labeled with  
the same region code.  
A DVD VIDEO labeled  
ALL  
will also play on this system.  
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will  
appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even  
though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.  
Notes about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD  
Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers.  
Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers  
designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions of  
the DVD or VIDEO CD.  
Notes about playable files  
• The system can recognize up to 200 folders, including albums (folders) that do not contain audio files,  
JPEG image files, or video files. When more than 200 folders are on the DATA CD/DATA DVD/  
USB device or more than 150 files are in a folder, folders/files that are recognized by the system differ  
depending on the folder configuration.  
• The system can play the following files.

The system will attempt to play any data with the extensions above, even if it is not in MP3/WMA/  
AAC/JPEG/DivX/MPEG4 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage  
your speaker system.  
• The following can increase the time it takes to start playback:  
– when a DATA CD/DATA DVD/USB device is recorded with a complicated tree structure.  
– when the audio files, JPEG image files, or video files in another folder have just been played.  
• Some files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs/USB devices cannot be played by the system depending on  
the file format.  
• The system can play to a depth of 8 folders only.  
• The system may not be able to play an audio file, JPEG image file, or video file depending on the file  
type.  
• Files recorded by a device such as a computer may not be played in the order in which they were  
recorded.  
• Folders that have no audio files, JPEG image files, or video files are skipped.  
• Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/AAC encoding/writing software, recording devices, and  
recording media cannot be guaranteed.  
• Compatibility with all MPEG4 video encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording  
media cannot be guaranteed.  
• The playback order may not be applicable depending on the software used for creating the audio file,  
JPEG image file, or video file, or if there are more than 200 folders or 150 files in each folder.  
About DivX video files

the screws securely to a beam. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.  
• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or  
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.  
Before installing the tall speaker on a wall

Additional Information  
Precautions  
On power sources  
• 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 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 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.  
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.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause your 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 your TV set.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
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  
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk  
permanent damage to your television screen.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the system and discs away from components  
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or  
large loudspeakers.  
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).  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.  
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.  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.

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.  
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.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.
