Precautions
Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.
• 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
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• This 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.
On placement
• Do not install the unit in a confined space such
as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It
is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position only.
• Keep the player, discs and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
On operation
• When you move the player, take out any discs.
If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• 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 and cause damage to the video
head, tape, and the optical block. Should this
occur, the player may not operate properly.
When you first install the player, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm location, remove
the disc and tape and leave the player turned on
for about three hours before operating the
player.
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.
On cleaning the video heads
When the video heads are dirty, clean the video
heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If
a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony
dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do
not use a commercially available liquid type
cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video
heads.

14 Basic hookups
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.
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 15 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.

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 30)
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

yet sending time signals, set the time
manually (page 24).
Before you start…

• Set the TV to video input so that the signal
from the player appears on the TV screen.
•Set TV

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 78).
• 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) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP”
menu (page 54), 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) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”
menu (page 54).
• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 54). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is
as follows.
• Structure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD and press HPLAY, the numbered
tracks are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained
within a currently selected album does not take priority over the next album in the
same tree. (Example: E contains G but 6 is played before 7.)
When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 82), the
albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t D t E t F t G.
Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be
played in that order.
• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be
played back.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback
order may differ from the illustration above.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums
and tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD.
• A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.
Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first
9 MP3 files can be recognized.
• Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.

108 Glossary
Glossary
Chapter (page 38)
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.
Dolby Digital (pages 32 and 55)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel
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 are recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (page 32)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the process outputs the
front, center and rear signals. The rear
channel is monaural.
DTS (page 55)
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. 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 little deterioration is realized because all
channel data processing is digital.
DVD (page 7)
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 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 17GB.
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 (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 real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 7)
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.
DVD+RW (page 7)
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.

Glossary
Additional Information
Interlace format
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.
Progressive format (pages 31 and 59)
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 30
frames/60 fields in one second, the
Progressive format can show 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 480 progressive
format.
Title (page 38)
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 (page 38)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).

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.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 4 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.

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.
