Precautions
Safety
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• 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.
Installing
• 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 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.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the DVD
Home Theatre 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.

®
guidelines for energy efficiency.
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing Sony DVD Home
Theatre System. Before operating this system, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
Precautions
On power sources
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
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 system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
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 system. 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.
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.

Notes on placing speakers
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the subwoofer or a speaker stand (not supplied) that is attached with the front/surround speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
Note
Do not catch the speaker cable insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
Tip
Connect the speaker cable after bending the speaker wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker cable from being caught in the SPEAKER jack.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all
the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 27.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

To change the speaker cables
If you want to use a different speaker cable, you can detach the plug for attachment to another cable.
Detaching
Catcher
With the catcher facing down, press and hold the plug down against a flat surface and remove the cords from the plug.
Attaching
While pressing the plug down against a flat surface, insert the new speaker cords.
Note that the cord marked with a line should be attached to the minus (-) side of the plug.
Note
Be careful not to damage the surface you use (desk, etc.) when attaching/detaching the speaker cords.
Tips
• You can use any commercially sold speaker cable of gauge cord AWG #18 - AWG #24.
• Before attaching a new cable, strip off 10 mm (13/32 in.) of its insulation and twist the bare wires of both cords.

Speaker Setup
Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters a)
closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.6 meters b)
closer
(C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters c)
(A) from the listening position.
North American numerical equivalents: a) 5 feet (1.5 meters) b) 15 feet (4.5 meters) c) 3 to 23 feet (0.9 to 6.9 meters)
Place speakers as illustrated below
About magnetically shielded speakers (to prevent color irregularity occurring on the TV screen)
The subwoofer in this system is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the subwoofer is used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer at least 0.3 meter (1.0 foot) from the
TV set. If it is installed too close, color irregularity may occur on the screen. If color irregularity occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer. Color irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.
Note
Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

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) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio
Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2 or Joliet 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-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on 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
Music 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 created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.
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 albums MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA is as follows: x
Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
Album Track (MP3 audio) or
File (JPEG image)
continued
33
US
34
US
When you insert a DATA CD and press H, 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 MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 35), 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.
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.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, it is recommended that you create albums with no more than two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums (the system will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files). The system will not play any albums beyond the 200th album.
• 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.

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 mode (60 frames per second), the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

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.
Dolby Digital
This movie theater sound format for 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 two-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 soundfield 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 two-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 Digital Theater Systems, 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.
File
Section of a picture on a data CD containing
JPEG image files.
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.
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.
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.
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 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. This format is compatible with the 525 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).
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 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 system conforms to both versions.
