• 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
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• 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 discs or the player may be damaged.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the
player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.
The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO
SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the setup display, and may affect
your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks
on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 43.) If you set
the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will come from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may
come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears
or causing the speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
• The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No
sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.
• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a
built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to
“ON” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS
sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
• When you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” no sound
will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and
COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on
DVDs.

ENERGY STARR is a U.S. registered mark.
As an ENERGY STARR Partner, Sony Corporation has
determined that this product meets the ENERGY STARR
guidelines for energy efficiency.
Bit rate (page 48)
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in
a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that
you can get higher quality pictures.
Chapter (page 5)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters.
Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you
to locate the chapter you want.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 47)
The general name of technology that Sony developed to
enjoy surround sound in a home. It simulates the sound
of a movie editing studio instead of the usual concert hall
so that you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie
theater in the comfort of your own home. The VES
(Virtual Enhanced Surround) system contained in DCS
programs can create the sound image of virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R)
without using actual rear speakers.
Dolby Digital (pages 10, 71)
Digital audio compression technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and
there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of
high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema
audio systems. Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and
processed in digital.
Dolby Pro Logic (page 71)
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, center and rear signals.
The rear channel is monaural.
DTS (pages 12, 71)
Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater
Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides
the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of
the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in
digital.
80
DVD (page 4)
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 single-sided DVD
is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte) which is 7 times that of a CD. The
data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a
dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.
The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 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 data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in
PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions
are provided with the DVD.
VIDEO CD (page 4)
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the
worldwide standards 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
the 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 player conforms to both versions.
Multilingual function (pages 14, 45, 63)
Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control (page 66)
A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc
according to the age of the user and 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) (page 25)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control
playback.
By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC
functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive
programs, programs with search functions, and so on.
Title (page 5)
The longest section of a picture or a music piece on a
DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;
or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software.
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate
the title you want.
