b
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be
determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.
– Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

• 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 the temperature
may rise considerably inside
the car.
• After playing, store the disc in
its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out.

• Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner,
commercially available disc/
lens cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• If you have printed the disc’s
label, dry the label before
playing.
• Do not use the following discs.
– A lens cleaning disc.
– A disc that has a nonstandard shape (e.g., card,
heart).
– A disc with a label or sticker
on it.
– A disc that has cellophane
tape or sticker adhesive on it.
• Do not resurface the playing
side of a disc to remove
surface scratches.

Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the player, or place
the player near water, such as
near a bathtub or shower room.
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.
• Do not touch the AC power
cord with wet hands. Doing so
may cause an electric shock.

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.
• Do not install this player in a
confined space, such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• 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 place the player
outdoors, in vehicles, on ships,
or on other vessels.
• 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 install the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.

• Keep the player and the discs
away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy or unstable
objects on the player.
• Do not place any objects other
than discs on the disc tray.
Doing so may cause damage to
the player or the object.
• Take out any discs when you
move the player. If you don’t,
the disc may be damaged.
• Disconnect the AC power cord
and all other cables from the
player when you move the
player.

On power sources
• This unit operates on 120 V
AC, 60 Hz. Check that the
unit’s operating voltage is
identical with your local
power supply.
• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the player
itself has been turned off.
• Disconnect the player from the
wall outlet if you are not going
to use the player for a long
time. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Observe following points to
prevent the AC power cord
being damaged. Do not use the
AC power cord if it is
damaged, as doing so may
result in an electric shock or
fire.
– Do not pinch the AC power
cord between the player and
wall, shelf, etc.
– Do not put anything heavy
on the AC power cord or pull
on the AC power cord itself.

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, your ears and
the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is
played.

To connect to a TV with DVI input

• Plug in cables securely to prevent unwanted
noise.
• Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
components to be connected.
• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does
not have a video input jack.
• Do not apply too much pressure on the connecting
cables. Pushing against the cabinet wall, etc., may
damage the cables or jacks.
• Do not connect the unit through a VCR. Video
signals fed through VCRs may be affected by
copyright protection systems and the picture will
be distorted on the television.

Use an HDMI-DVI converter cable (not
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any
audio signals, so you have to use another
audio connection in addition to this
connection (page 19).
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI
OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

Connecting to an HDMI jack

Hookups and Settings

To enjoy additional content (such as
BONUSVIEW/BD-LIVE) on certain Blu-ray
Disc titles, you will need to use external
memory (not supplied).
Insert the external memory device (1 GB or
larger USB flash memory, such as Sony
USM2GL, USM4GL, or USM1GH) into the
EXT slot as your local storage.

• Insert the external memory straight. If you force
the external memory into the slot, this will cause
damage to both the external memory and the
player.
• Keep the external memory away from small
children to prevent them from accidentally
swallowing the external memory.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the external
memory in the slot, as it may cause a malfunction.
• We recommend use of the Sony USM2GL
available as of April 2009.
• Other USB flash devices may support this
function. However we cannot guarantee
compatibility with all USB flash memories.
• When inserting a USB flash memory, check the
insertion direction before inserting it.
• Depending on the USB flash memory, it may
stick out from the EXT slot. Do not force into the
slot or apply pressure to the protruding portion of
the USB flash memory.
• Do not connect anything other than a USB flash
memory to the EXT slot.
• To avoid data corruption or damage to the
external memory, turn the player off when
inserting or removing the external memory.
• When the EXT indicator does not light up, turn
the player off, remove and re-insert the external
memory, then turn the player on again.
• Do not insert the external memory that contains
photo or music files to avoid corrupting the
external memory data.
• When re-formatting the USB flash memory, use
FAT16 or FAT32 format.
