Precautions

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and

have it checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet (mains), 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.

Installing

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal

heat build-up.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)

or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block

the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as

radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or

shock.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is

designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

WARNING

3GB

• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with

strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large

loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm

location, moisture may condense inside the DVD

Home Theatre System and cause damage to the

lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you

move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about

30 minutes before operating the unit.

ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.

registered mark.

As an ENERGY STAR® partner,

Sony Corporation has determined

that this product meets the

ENERGY STAR® guidelines for

energy efficiency.

Thank you for purchasing Sony DVD Home

Theatre System. Before operating this system,

please read this manual thoroughly and retain it

for future reference.

On power sources

AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at

the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet

becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.

However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do

not place the unit in a confined space where

ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the cooling fan or ventilation slots by

putting anything on the system. Also, do not place the

system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block

the ventilation holes on the bottom. The system is

equipped with a high power amplifier. If the cooling

fan or ventilation slots are blocked, the unit can

overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the system 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 system. Should

this occur, the system may not operate properly. In

this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned

on for about half an hour until the moisture

evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you

don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• For power saving purposes, set the system to standby

mode by pressing the "/1 button (the standby

indicator lights up). To turn off the system

completely, remove the AC power cord (mains lead)

from the wall outlet (mains).

• Do not carry the system while it is turned on.

Welcome!

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 suddenly 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.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your

system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD

cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On your TV’s color

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have

color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it

on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should

persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.

Tip

You can install the front speakers and the surround speakers on a wall using the optional kit (not supplied).

Notes on placing speakers

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:

– Extremely hot or cold

– Dusty or dirty

– Very humid

– Subject to vibrations

– Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placing the subwoofer or tall speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor,

as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.

Notes on placing IR transmitter and surround speaker (L) (or IR receiver)

• Do not install the surround speaker (L) (or IR receiver) in a place exposed to direct sunlight or strong light such as

an incandescent lamp.

• The cords of the IR transmitter and IR receiver are for this system only. You cannot use a commercially available

extension cord.

Tip for the surround speaker (L)

You can swap the surround speaker (L) and (R) positions, depending on the wall outlet and speaker layout (page 31).

Note

Do not catch the speaker cable insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Tip

Connect the speaker cable after bending the speaker wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker cable

from being caught in the SPEAKER jack.

continued

20GB

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these

precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch

another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to

check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 92.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker

other than the one currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If

this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Notes

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords

are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

Notes

• The video signal is output as below:

– When [COMPONENT OUT] is set to [INTERLACE] in [SCREEN SETUP] (page 88) (default)

The video signal is output from the S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks of MONITOR OUT.

– When [COMPONENT OUT] is set to [PROGRESSIVE] in [SCREEN SETUP] (page 88)

The video signal is output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks only.

• When you connect a VCR or digital satellite receiver to the VIDEO/SAT jacks of this system, change the function

to VIDEO or SAT (page 80).

Tips

• When using the S video jack instead of the video jacks, your TV monitor must also be connected via an S video

jack. S video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.

• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) instead of the video jacks, your TV monitor

must also be connected via COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR). If your TV accepts progressive

format signals, you must use this connection and set [COMPONENT OUT] to [PROGRESSIVE] in [SCREEN

About magnetically shielded

speakers (to prevent color

irregularity occurring on the TV

screen)

The subwoofer in this system is magnetically

shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However,

some leakage may occur, as a high-strength

magnet is employed. If the subwoofer is used

with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the

subwoofer at least 0.3 meter (1ft) from the TV

set. If it is installed too close, color irregularity

may occur on the screen. If color irregularity

occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on

after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity

occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away

from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs

after performing the above, make sure that no

magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer.

Color irregularity may occur as a result of

interaction between the subwoofer and the

magnetic object.

Examples of possible sources of magnetic

interference include: magnetic latches on a TV

stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.

Specifying the speaker

parameters

To obtain the best possible surround sound, first

specify the distance of the speakers from your

listening position, then set the level and balance.

Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and

balance to the same level.

Select [SPEAKER SETUP] in the setup display.

About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In collaboration with Sony Pictures

Entertainment, Sony measured the sound

environment of their studios and integrated the

(Digital Signal Processor) technology to

develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital

Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an

ideal movie theater sound environment based on

the preference of the movie director.

About Cinema Studio EX

Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the

movie software encoded with multi channel

format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This

mode reproduces the sound characteristics of

Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studios.

Cinema Studio EX consists of the following

three elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension

Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding

the listener from a single pair of actual

surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching

In a movie theater, sound seems to come from

inside the image reflected on the movie screen.

This element creates the same sensation in

your listening room by shifting the sound of

the front speakers “into” the screen.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation

Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a

movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the

integrated mode which operates these

elements simultaneously.

Notes

• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise

in the playback signal.

• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual

speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound

coming directly from the surround speakers.

If you experience any of the following

difficulties while using the system, use this

troubleshooting guide to help remedy the

problem before requesting repairs. Should any

problem persist, consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Power

The power is not turned on.

• Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is

connected securely.

The standby indicator flashes.

Immediately unplug the power cord and check the

following items.

• Are the + and – speaker cords short-circuited?

• Are you using only the specified speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the

top of the system?

• Is the subwoofer connected incorrectly?

After checking the above items and fixing any

problems, connect the power cord again and turn on

the system. If the indicator still flashes, or if the

cause of the problem cannot be found even after

checking all the above items, consult your nearest

Sony dealer.

The POWER/ON LINE indicator does not turn

on.

• The + and – speaker cords are short-circuited. In

this case, disconnect the AC power cord (mains

lead) of the surround speaker (L) from the wall

outlet (mains), reconnect, and then turn the

surround speaker (L) on.

Picture

There is no picture.

• The video connecting cords are not connected

securely.

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

• The system is not connected to the correct TV

input jack (page 25).

• The video input on the TV is not set so that you

can view pictures from the system.

• You have set [COMPONENT OUT] in [SCREEN

SETUP] to [PROGRESSIVE] even though your

TV cannot accept the signal in progressive format.

In this case, set the COMPONENT VIDEO

OUTPUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the rear

panel of the subwoofer to INTERLACE. Then set

[COMPONENT OUT] to [INTERLACE] after

you can see the TV screen correctly, and reset the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT/SCAN

SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

• You have set [COMPONENT OUT] in [SCREEN

SETUP] to [PROGRESSIVE] even though your

TV cannot accept the signal in progressive format.

In this case, return the setting to interlace format

(page 28).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive

format (480p) signals, the image may be affected

when you set [COMPONENT OUT] to

[PROGRESSIVE]. In this case, set

[COMPONENT OUT] to [INTERLACE]

(page 88).

• When [PROGRESSIVE] is selected in [SCREEN

SETUP], no signal is output from the MONITOR

OUT or S VIDEO OUT jacks.

Picture noise appears.

• The disc is dirty or flawed.

• If the picture output from your system goes

through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-

protection signal applied to some DVD programs

could affect picture quality. If you still experience

problems even when you connect your system

directly to your TV, try connecting your system to

your TV’s S video input (page 25).

Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV

TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does

not fill the screen.

• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

The picture is black and white.

• Depending on the TV, the picture on the screen

becomes black and white when you play a disc

recorded in the NTSC color system.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)

This is the generic name of the surround sound

produced by digital signal processing

technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous

surround sound fields mainly directed at the

reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is

designed specifically for the enjoyment of

movies.

Digital Infrared Audio Transmission

Recent times have been witness to the rapid

spread of DVDs, Digital Broadcasting Satellite

Receiver and other high-quality media. In order

to ensure that the subtle nuances endowed by

these high-quality media would be transmitted

with no accompanying deterioration, Sony

developed a technology called “Digital Infrared

Audio Transmission” for the infrared

transmission of digital audio signals using no

compression, and it introduced it into the DAV-

LF1.

This technology transfers digital audio signals

using no compression inside the subcarrier

frequency band allocated by the IEC

(International Electronic Committee) and

JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information

Technology Industries Association) for hi-fi

audio transmission applications. (See Fig. 1)

Dolby Digital

This movie theater sound format is more

advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In

this format, the surround speakers output stereo

sound with an expanded frequency range, and a

subwoofer channel for deep bass is

independently provided. This format is also

called “5.1,” with the subwoofer channel

designated as the 0.1 channel (since it functions

only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six

channels in this format are recorded separately

for superior channel separation. Furthermore,

since all the signals are processed digitally, less

signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Digital EX

An enhanced compatible format of Dolby

Digital 5.1, developed by Dolby Laboratories

and Lucasfilm THX, which can be used for

6.1(three surround speakers) channel playback,

using matrix encoding.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth

output channels from two-channel sources. This

is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix

surround decoder that extracts the spatial

properties of the original recording without

adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

xMovie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television

shows and all programs encoded in Dolby

Surround. The result is enhanced sound field

directionality that approaches the quality of

discrete 5.1-channel sound.

xMusic mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music

recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound

space.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,

Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four

channels from two-channel sound. Compared

with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby

Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right

panning more naturally and localizes sounds

more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby

Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of

surround speakers and a center speaker. The

surround speakers output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology

developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This

technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.

This format comprises of stereo rear channels

and a discrete subwoofer channel. DTS provides

the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality

digital audio. The good channel separation is

realized due to all channel data being recorded

discretely and processed digitally.

DVD

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, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times

that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a

dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a

single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and

a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of

a worldwide standard of digital compression

technology. The picture data is compressed to

about 1/40 of its original size. DVD also uses

variable rate coding technology that processes

allocated data according to the status of the

picture.

The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as

well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more

realistic audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such

as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental

Control functions are provided with the DVD.

File

Section of a picture on a data CD containing

JPEG image files.

Film based software, Video based

software

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 theaters. Video based DVDs,

such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays

images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

104GB

Index (Super Audio CD, CD)/Video

Index (VIDEO CD)

A number that divides a track into sections to

easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO

CD, Super Audio CD, or CD. Depending on the

disc, no indexes may be recorded.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard

method for displaying TV images at 30 frames

per second. Each frame is scanned twice -

alternately between the even numbered scanning

lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Multi-angle function

Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the

video camera are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a

picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the

disc by the age of the users according to 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)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)

to control playback.

By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO

CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing

simple interactive programs, programs with

search functions, and so on.

Progressive format

(sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the

progressive format can reproduce 60 frames per

second by reproducing all scanning lines (525

lines for the NTSC system). The overall picture

quality increases and still images, text and

horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is

compatible with the 525 progressive format.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A

region number is allocated on each DVD system

or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each

region code is shown on the system as well as on

the disc packaging. The system can play the

discs that match its region code. The system can

also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when

the region code is not shown on the DVD, the

region limit may still be activated.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)

functions, the menu screens, moving pictures

and still pictures are divided into sections called

“scenes.”

Super Audio CD

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

• 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.

• 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 this CD layer

using a conventional CD player.

• 2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD

This disc consists of a 2 channel playback area

and a multi-channel playback area.

Title

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

Section of a picture or a music piece on a Super

Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album

is composed of several tracks (MP3 only).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.

The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of

a worldwide standard 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 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 system conforms to both versions.
