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 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

service shop only.

On placement
• 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 handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do
not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,
remove the glue completely before using the disc.

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.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be considerable
rise in temperature
inside the car.
• After playing,

On adjusting

Bit rate (page 39)
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed
a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per

1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that
you can get higher quality pictures.

Sound (DCS) (page 32)

The general name of technology that Sony developed to
enjoy the surround sound in a home. To enjoy the
surround sound of a movie theater in the comfort of your
own home, it simulates the sound not in a concert hall as
usual but in a movie editing studio. This player adopts
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) system from various
DCS programs. The VES system can create the sound
image of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.

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,
at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore,
the data capacity of a dual-layer and singlesided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dua!-layer and double-sided DVD 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 the variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be allocated according
to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as well
as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio
presence.
