Volume adjustment
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.
Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
• 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.
Overloading
This system is designed to operate on a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same mains socket as this could result in fire or electric shock.
Heat
Do not touch the surface of the system. It remains hot, even after the system has been turned off for some time.
Corrosion
If you use this system near the seashore, salt may corrode metal parts of the system and cause internal damage or fire.
It may also shorten the life of the system. Steps should be taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature of the area where the system is located.
Precautions
Safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet
(mains), even if the unit itself has been turned off. To disconnect the system completely, pull the plug from the
AC power source (mains).
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time.
LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this system. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
• If this system is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark.
This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this system is in use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this system also contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.
Fluorescent lamp
This system uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service personnel.
Installing the system
• Do not install the system in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent or excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock. If the system is exposed to extreme temperature, the system may overheat and cause deformation of the casing or cause the system to malfunction.
• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.
8
GB
• Do not install optional components too close to the system. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the system. If a VCR is installed in front of the system or beside the system, the picture may become distorted.
• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the system is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside this system and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the system
The screen surface is finished with a special coating to prevent strong light reflections.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.
• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating the system continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.
• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
On placement
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.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaner
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may cause apparatus to malfunction.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
1 Press (input select) repeatedly to select “DVD.”
2 Make sure that the disc is removed from the system.
3 Press x (stop) and 1 on the system simultaneously.
“MECHA LOCK” appears in the front panel display.
The lift unit is now set in the shipping position (down).
4 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 centre out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDisc
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.
About the Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct
Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on the Super
Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.
• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD
• CD layer*
1
: A layer that is readable by a conventional CD player
Single layer disc
(a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)
Super Audio CD layer
Hybrid disc*

(a disc with an Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer)
CD layer*
3
Super Audio CD layer*

*1 You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD player.
*2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary to turn the disc over.
*3 To select a layer, see “Selecting a playback layer for a Super
Audio CD (Super Audio CD only)” (page 32).
Region code
Your system has a region code printed on the back of the unit and will only play DVDs labelled with the same region code.
DVD VIDEOs labelled 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 VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or
VIDEO CDs.

* About S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led to the development of all-new processing method and advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call S-
Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers.

About DivX video files
DivX
®
is a video file compression technology, developed by DivX, Inc. This product is an official
DivX
®
Certified product.
You can play DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that contain DivX
®
video files.
DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that the system can play
Playback of DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-
RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) on this system is subject to certain conditions:
– With DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that contain DivX video files in addition to MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files, the system plays only the DivX video files.
However, this system only plays DATA CDs whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
About playback order of data on DATA CDs or DATA
DVDs
See “Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files” (page 59). Note that the playback order
may not be applicable, depending on the software used for creating the DivX video file, or if there are more than 200 albums and 600 DivX video files in each album.
Note
The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA
DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

DivX video files that the system can play
The system can play data that is recorded in DivX format, and which has the extension “.AVI,” or
“.DIVX.” The system will not play files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if they do not contain a
DivX video.
Tip
For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs, see “MP3 audio track or
JPEG image file that the system can play” (page 59).
Notes
• The system may not play a DivX video file when the file has been combined from two or more DivX video files.
• The system cannot play a DivX video file of size more than 720 (width) × 576 (height) or 2GB.
• The system cannot play some DivX video files that are longer than 3 hours.
• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may pause or be unclear. In which case, it is recommended that you create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound is still noisy,
MP3 is the recommended audio format. Note, however, this system does not conform to WMA (Windows Media
Audio) format.
• Because of the compression technology used for DivX video files, it may take some time after you press H for the picture to appear.

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-ROMs/DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) recorded in MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and 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 for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session*.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-Rs/
CD-RWs or DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/
DVD+RWs drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
* About the 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.
MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the system can play
The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:
• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio track) or
“.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)
• which 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).
Notes
• 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/DATA DVD is as follows:
Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
Album Track (MP3 audio) or
File (JPEG image)
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD and press
H, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/ 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 (page 60), the album names are
arranged in alphabetical 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.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.
• If a disc consists of many trees, it takes longer to start playback.
Notes
• Playback order may differ from the illustration depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD/DATA
DVD, or if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will not play any albums beyond the 200th.

Self-diagnosis function (DVD function only)
(When letters/numbers appear in the display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated to prevent the system from malfunctioning, a 5-character service number (e.g., C 13 50) with a combination of a letter and 4 digits appears on the screen and the front panel display.
In this case, check the following table.
C:13:50
First 3 characters of the service number
C 13
Cause and/or corrective action
C 31
E XX
(xx is a number)
The disc is dirty.
Clean the disc with a soft cloth (page 9).
The disc is not inserted correctly.
Restart the system, then re-insert the disc correctly.
To prevent a malfunction, the system has performed the self-diagnosis function.
Contact your nearest Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility and give the 5-character service number.
Example: E 61 10
When displaying the version number on the screen
When you turn on the system, the version number [VER.X.XX] (X is a number) may appear on the screen. Although this is not a malfunction and for Sony service use only, normal system operation will not be possible. Turn off the system, and then turn on the system again to operate.
