Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing this
Sony CD/DVD Player. Before operating this player, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
Precautions
On safety
• 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.
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.
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.
• 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.
• When you move the player, take out any discs. 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 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.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This 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. Plasma display panel televisions and projection televisions are susceptible to this.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 or 625 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions regarding your TV set compatibility with this 525p and 625p DVD player model, please contact our customer service centre.
Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
◆PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.
◆PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
◆About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two 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.
Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the normal (interlace) format.

To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
For 2 speaker setups
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.
TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo TV.
If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and
“DTS” are set to “D-PCM” and “MPEG” is
set to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 83).
◆TVS DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TV
◆TVS WIDE
Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TV
◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you want to hear the dialogue and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the actual front speakers (L,
R) as shown below. This mode is effective when you use 2 separate front speakers.
L R
For 4 to 6 speaker setups
You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers.
Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver) with the
D-1
You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”
“VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and
“VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make use of this technology.
◆NORMAL SURROUND
Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds.
If you are using a centre speaker, the appropriate sounds for the centre speaker will be delivered.

About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files
MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.
You can play DATA CDs that contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files.
DATA CDs that the player 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 player to recognize the tracks (or files).
You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the
CD-R/CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session discs
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the player 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 player may not be able to play some DATA
CDs created in the Packet Write format.
MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the player can play
The player can play the following tracks and files:
– MP3 audio tracks with the extension
“.MP3.”
– JPEG image files with the extension
“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”
– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF* image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
Notes
• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
• The player does not conform to audio tracks in
MP3PRO format.
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
• You cannot play MP3 audio tracks/JPEG image files in DATA CDs that contain DivX video files.
About playback order of albums, tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
◆Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
Album Track or file
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 64), 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.
z
Hints
• 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 tracks/ files in each album.
• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the player will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files). The player will not play any albums beyond the 200th album.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take some time.

Glossary
A unit in which to store JPEG image files or
MP3 audio tracks on a DATA CD. (“Album” is an exclusive definition for this player.)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.
DivX
®
Digital video technology created by
DivXNetworks, Inc. Videos encoded with
DivX technology are among the highest quality with a relatively small file size.
Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” theatre surround sound systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 22)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
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 is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided
DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The
DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
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.
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.
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD or a
DivX video on a DATA CD/DATA DVD
(“File” is an exclusive definition for this player.) A single file consists of a single image or movie.
Film based software, Video based
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 theatres.
Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (24 frames/50 fields) per second.
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image
(field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames
(50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second.
The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the
525 or 625 progressive format.
Progressive JPEG
Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. They are different from other JPEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from top to bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image while it is being downloaded.
International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.
Normal (Interlace) format (page 20)
Normal (Interlace) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”
A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds that are extremely faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. This technology utilizes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is
64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a standard PCM format CD can hold. Super
Audio CDs are divided into the following types.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD
HD (high density) layer
• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of extended play over long periods.

Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual
HD layers on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over during playback.
HD layer
HD layer
• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)
This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD layer. Also, as the dual layers are on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over during playback. You can play the CD layer using a conventional CD player.

HD layer
• 2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD
This disc consists of the 2 channel playback area and the multi-channel playback area.
2 channel playback area
Multi-channel playback area
The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (the length of a song). (“Track” in DATA CD is an exclusive definition for this player.)
Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page 14)
A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO
CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded.
