Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side.

However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Region code

Your system has a region code printed on the bottom of the control unit and will only play

DVDs labeled with the same region code.

DVD VIDEOs 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.

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO

CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs and

About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

Discs that the system can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-

Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-

RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or

JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level

2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal

Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the operating instructions supplied with the

CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

About Multi-Session disc

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the system will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

[3-212-589-12(1)]


• that have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• that conform to the DCF* image file format

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan

Electronics and Information Technology Industries

Association (JEITA).

Note

• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The system does not conform to audio in

MP3PRO format.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or

JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or

DATA DVD is as follows: x Structure of disc contents

Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5 Tree 1

ROOT

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any subalbums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is played before 5.)

When you press DVD MENU and the list of album names appears on the TV screen

(page 65), the album names are arranged in the

following order:

A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

Tip

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track (or file) names when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks (or files) will be played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.

Note

• Playback order may differ from the illustration depending on the software you use to create the

DATA CD or DATA DVD, or if there are more than

200 albums and 300 tracks (or files) in each album.

• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will not play any albums beyond the 200th.

• The system may take longer time to playback when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some types of JPEG files cannot be played.

Note

• When you connect the control unit and the TV with the HDMI cable during the system is set to

“INTERLACE” (NORMAL), the system is set to

Tip

• When you connect the control unit and the TV with the HDMI cable, RESOLUTION is used for selecting the type of video signals output from the HDMI OUT

jack. For details, see “To select the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack” (page 90).

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film based software and video based software.

Video based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at

30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based 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 format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Note

• When you play video based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the VIDEO OUT (COMPONENT) jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRE”

(PROGRESSIVE), images from the VIDEO OUT

(VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

To select the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT (highdefinition multimedia interface out) jack

When you connect the control unit and the TV with the HDMI cable, select the type of video signals output from the HDMI OUT (highdefinition multimedia interface out) jack.

For details, refer also to the operating instructions supplied with the TV/projector, etc.

Additional Information

Precautions

On power sources

• Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet 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 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 control unit 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 control unit can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the control unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the control unit near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Do not install the control unit in an inclined position.

It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the control unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place anything on the control unit and the subwoofer.

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 control 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.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the subwoofer 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 suddenly 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.

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 apparatus to malfunction.

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.

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.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the control unit.

On moving the system

When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism.

1

Press Z to remove a disc.

Make sure that a disc is removed from the control unit.

2

Press "/1 to turn off the power.

3

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.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.

Power

The power is not turned on.

• Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is connected securely.

• Press "/1 after all indications disappear from the front panel display.

• After connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power by pressing "/1.

If “PROTECTOR” and “PUSH POWER” appear alternately in the front panel display.

Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the following items after “STANDBY” disappears.

• Are the 3 and # speaker cords short-circuited?

• Are you using only the specified speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation slots of the system?

Check the above items and fix any problems. After

“STANDBY” disappears, wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power by pressing "/1. If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest

Sony dealer.

Glossary

Album

Section of a music piece or an image on a data

CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters.

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts the speaker settings to your listening environment in a short period of time.

Dolby Digital

This movie theater sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. 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.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby

Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format comprises of stereo rear channel 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 due to the all channel data being recorded discretely and processed in digitally.

DVD

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 singlesided 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.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of a worldwide standard 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 processes allocated data 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 realistic audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental

Control functions are provided with the DVD.

DVD+RW

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.

DVD-RW

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.


[3-212-589-12(1)]


File

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/DATA

DVD. (“File” is an exclusive definition for this system.) A single file consists of a single image or movie.

Film based software, Video based software

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 theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface)

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 contents protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

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.

Mica-reinforced-cellular-diaphragm

The Mica-reinforced-cellular-diaphragm is made of a light weight and highly rigid composite material that consists of Mica flake and synthetic fiber.

It is constructed with layers of Mica flake. This construction realizes diaphragm with low density and high rigidity at the same time.

In this system, a Mica-reinforced-cellulardiaphragm is used for the subwoofer.

MPEG audio

A coding system to compress digital audio signals. MPEG-1 is used for MP3 (MPEG-1

Audio Layer-3). MPEG-2 is used for one of the audio format of DVD.

Multi-angle function

Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the video camera are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control

A DVD function to limit playback of the disc by users of a predetermined age 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, etc.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method for converting analog audio to digital audio. It is used for the Compact Disc (CD) audio format.

Playback Control (PBC)

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.

Progressive format

(sequential scanning)

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.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each region code is shown on the system as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play discs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the “

ALL

” mark. Even when the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may still apply.

S-master

S-master is an all-digital amplifier technology developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the original sound. The compact amplifier section supports a higher power efficiency and improved thermal performance.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called

“scenes.”

Title

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.

Track

Section of a picture or a music piece on a

VIDEO CD, CD, or MP3. An album is composed of several tracks (MP3 only).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.

The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a worldwide standard 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 sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold six times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.

There are two 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 system conforms to both versions.
