Tip
• When you connect the unit and the TV with the HDMI cord, VIDEO FORMAT is used for selecting the type of
HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack” (page 21).
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 COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

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 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
You 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).
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 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
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 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 type of JPEG files cannot be played.
Album Track (MP3 audio) or
File (JPEG image)
When you insert a DATA CD or 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 48), 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.

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 operating 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 47). 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 or DATA DVDs, see
“Discs that the system can play” (page 46).
Note
• 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) x 576 (height) or 2GB.
• Depending on the DivX video file, sound may skip or not match the pictures on the TV screen.
• 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.

Additional Information
Precautions
On power sources
• Unplug the unit 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 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 unit can overheat and malfunction.
• 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 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 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.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
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 unit 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 the 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.
On moving the system

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 back 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.
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 “STANDBY” disappears from the front panel display.
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 + and – speaker cords short-circuited?
• Are you using only the specified speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the system?
After checking the above items and fixing any problems, turn on the system. If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The unit is connected to an input device that is not
HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel
does not light up). See page 94.
• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, changing the type of video signal output from the
HDMI OUT jack by pressing VIDEO FORMAT
may solve the problem (page 21).
Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and try other options.
• You have selected “PROGRESSIVE” using the
VIDEO FORMAT button on the remote

HDMI cord from the unit and then select
“INTERLACE” so that “PROGRE” turns off.
• If the signal from the S VIDEO OUT jack is distorted, change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack by pressing VIDEO
FORMAT to [720 × 480p] *
* Depending on the country, [720 × 576p] may appear.
Picture noise appears.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the copyprotection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your unit directly to your TV, try connecting your unit to
your TV’s S video input (page 20).
Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV
TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does not fill the TV screen.
• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.
Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen.
The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following items:
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters
(1.0 ft) from the TV set.
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

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.
Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer
(DAV-HDX265/DAV-HDX267W only)
Utilizing Sony's proprietary S-Master technology, the Digital Direct Twin Drive
Subwoofer features two S-Master Digital
Amplifiers that provide dedicated power to a strategically located subwoofer for astounding sound performance. Easy to set up, Digital
Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer provides a stable sound field over a much larger listening area without having to adjust frequency levels.
DivX
®
(except for United Kingdom and North American models)
Digital video technology created by DivX, Inc.
Videos encoded with DivX technology are among the highest quality with a relatively small file size.
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.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.
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.
File
A JPEG image or a DivX video* 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.
* Except for United Kingdom and North American models.
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.
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 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.
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, 625 lines for the
PAL system). The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.
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.
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). continued

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.
