when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player are connected  
to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™  
playback, an external 5.1-channel DTS Digital Surround™  
decoder system must be connected to the digital output of the  
DVD player.

Precautions  
On safety  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this  
product will increase eye hazard.  
• 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.  
Caution: The enclosed DVD 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.  
Projection televisions are very susceptible.  
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.  
Notes on Discs  
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be  
changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.  
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.  
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,  
remove the glue completely before using the disc.  
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 on the bottom.  
• 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 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.  
• 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 there can be considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On adjusting volume  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion  
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you  
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level  
portion is played.  
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.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Glossary  
Bit rate (page 37)  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the  
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.  
The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its  
original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be allocated according  
to the status of the picture.  
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in  
PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the  
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions  
are provided with the DVD.  
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 is, the larger the  
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that  
you can get higher quality pictures.  
Chapter (page 5)  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are  
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters.  
Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you  
to locate the chapter you want.  
MPEG AUDIO (page 12)  
International standard coding system 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.  
Dolby Digital (page 12)  
Digital audio compression technology that the Dolby  
Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear  
channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel  
in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1  
discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in  
Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. The good channel  
separation is realized because the all channel data is  
recorded discrete and processed in digital.  
Multi-angle function (page 31)  
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a  
scene are recorded on some DVDs.  
Multilingual function (page 14, 31, 49)  
Several languages for the sound or sub-titles in a picture  
are recorded on some DVDs.  
Dolby Pro Logic (page 54)  
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby  
Laboratories Corporation developed for surround sound.  
When the input signal has the surround component, the  
Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear  
signals. The rear channel is monaural.  
Parental Control (page 51)  
A function of the 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.  
DTS (page 12)  
Digital audio compression technology that the Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this  
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is  
realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete  
and processed in digital.  
Playback Control (PBC) (page 20)  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control  
playback.  
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC  
functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive  
programs, programs with search functions, and so on.  
Title (page 5)  
DVD (page 4)  
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a  
DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;  
or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software.  
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate  
the title you want.  
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,  
at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.  
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-  
sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided  
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17  
GB.  
Track (page 5)  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO  
CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to  
locate the track you want.

VIDEO CD (page 4)  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the  
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.  
The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its  
original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can  
contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.  
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds  
outside the range of human hearing are compressed while  
the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs  
can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional  
audio CDs.  
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.  
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and  
sounds.  
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures  
and enjoy PBC functions.  
This player conforms to both versions.
