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 when playing

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 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. Projection televisions

12 Basic hookups
filename[C:\Documents and
Settings\gotanda\Desktop\3083946111SLVD500PUC0414\010GET.fm]
Step 3 : Basic hookups
Before you get started
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.
• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If
you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not
be able to use the Plug and Play function.
• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture
distortion.
• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony
dealer or qualified technician.
Selecting the best hookup option
There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your
DVD-VCR so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use
the accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your
DVD-VCR.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 13 for audio/video (A/V) hookup.
Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go
directly to one of the hookups below.
After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.
After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR.
Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.
Caution
Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the
TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may
result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission
regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an
antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna
terminals of your receiver.
Note to CATV system installer (in USA)
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.

Audio/video (A/V) hookup
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if
you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced
Hookups” (page 55) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the
picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.
If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to
make the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV
programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for
antenna or cable hookups.
A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks
BUse this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacks
Notes
• To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the
AUDIO IN jack on your TV.

filename[C:\3083946111SLVD500PUC0424\010GET.fm]
Step 7 : Setting up the VCR Plus+® system
How the VCR Plus+ system works
Whenever you want to record a TV program,
all you need to do is look up the “PlusCode”
number, a number assigned to each program
published in the TV section of most
newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV
GUIDE magazine. Then, just enter the
PlusCode number of the program you want
and the VCR is automatically programed to
record that show. It’s that simple.
How to set up your VCR
Setting up your VCR involves coordinating
the TV channel number (the number you turn
to on your TV or VCR to watch a program)
with the guide channel (the number that is
assigned to that channel in your program
guide).
To find the guide channel numbers, look at
the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program
guide for your area that features VCR
PlusCode numbers. It usually looks like the
example to the right.
To set the guide channels, use the Channel
Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel
numbers match the TV channel your VCR
receives. For example, if HBO is listed in the
Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and
your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you
need to coordinate these numbers using the
following procedure. If the guide and TV
channel numbers are the same, you can skip
this procedure.

slow motion playback speed (1/2 only).
• During CD fast forward/reverse play, no sound is output.
• The PROGRESSIVE button is not available when the DVD player is in play mode. Use the
PROGRESSIVE button in stop mode.
Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be
connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a
CD (page 80).
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in
“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 60), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”
menu (page 60).
• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 60). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
