Safety Precautions (Continued)
On adjusting volume
Precautions
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 sec-
tion is played.
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
• 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 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 sol-
vent such as alcohol or benzine.
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 cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It
may cause a malfunction.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
On placement
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 tele-
visions and projection televisions are susceptible to
this.
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventila-
tion 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.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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.

or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.
Notes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
A scene is composed of one or several tracks.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-
poses may not be played on the unit.

for playback of region “2” encoded DVD soft-
ware. The region code on the labels of some
2

Before Use (Continued)
Storing discs
Precautions
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Handling the unit
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
Cleaning discs
When setting up the unit
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter out.
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
To keep the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
About Symbols

Digital Multi-channel sound
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the
