Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital

audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the

Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any

subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session.

Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If MP3 files and JPEG image files in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first

session, only the first session will be played back.

Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play a DVD labeled with

the same region code.

A DVD VIDEO labeled will also play on this system.

If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will

appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even

though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.

Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers.

Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers

designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions

supplied with the DVD or VIDEO CD.

Getting Started

Step 1: Positioning the System

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the

same distance from the listening position (A).

However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the

surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the front speakers.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.

Place the system as illustrated below.

Note

• 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 speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,

oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

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

• When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see

“Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a Room” (page 78) and “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically”

(page 79).

only the DivX video files.

However, this system only plays a DATA CD of

format ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet, and a

DATA DVD of Universal Disk Format (UDF).

Refer to the operating instructions supplied with

the disc drives and the recording software (not

supplied) for details on the recording format.

About playback order of data on a

Precautions

On power sources

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) 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

• 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 ventilation slots by putting anything

on the system. The system is equipped with a high

power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,

the unit can overheat and malfunction.

• 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.

• Keep the unit and discs away from components with

strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large

loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

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 control unit.

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.

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

have it checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

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, disc/lens

cleaners

• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners

(including wet or spray types). These may cause

the apparatus to malfunction.

On your TV’s color

• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have

color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after

15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,

place the speakers further away from the TV set.

On moving the system

Before moving the system, make sure that there is no

disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains

lead) from the wall outlet (mains).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system 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 are especially susceptible to

this.

Notes about the Discs

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.

• 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.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning

cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl LPs.

This system can only play back a standard

circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular

discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause

a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially

available accessory attached, such as a label or

ring.

Symptom Remedy

The power is not turned on. • Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is connected securely.

•Press "/1 after “STANDBY” disappears from the front panel display.

If “PROTECTOR” and “PUSH

POWER” appear alternately in

the front panel display.

Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the following items after

“STANDBY” disappears.

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

• Are you using only the specified speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the system?

• After checking the above items and fixing any problems, turn on the system. If

the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above

items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Symptom Remedy

There is no picture. • The video connecting cords are not connected securely.

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

• The unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 18).

• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from the

system.

• Check the output method on your system (page 18).

• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in

progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the

default setting) (page 29).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the

image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the

setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 29).

• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

• The unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-bandwidth

Digital Content Protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel does not

light up) (page 18).

• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, changing the type of video

signal output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem (page 29).

Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and

switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-

screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT

jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not

appear, repeat the Steps and try other options.

• You have set [PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT)] in [VIDEO SETUP] to

[ON] (page 54) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In

this case, disconnect the HDMI cable from the unit and then set to [OFF].

Glossary

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed

by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts

the speaker settings to your listening

environment in a short period of time.

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

designed 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 Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth

output channels from 2 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 2 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 DTS, Inc. This technology

conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format

comprises of stereo rear channel and there is

discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS

provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high

quality digital audio. The good channel

separation is realized due to the all channel data

being recorded discretely and processed in

digitally.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video

and audio on a single digital connection,

allowing you to enjoy high quality digital

picture and sound. The HDMI specification

supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection), a copy protection

technology that incorporates coding technology

for digital video signals.

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.

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.

Progressive format

(sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the

progressive format can reproduce 50 - 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 or 625 progressive

format.

Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio

disc standard where music is recorded in the

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM

format). The DSD format, using a sampling

frequency 64 times higher than that of a

conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,

achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide

dynamic range across the audible frequency

range, and so provides music reproduction

extremely faithful to the original sound.

xSuper Audio CD types

There are two types of discs, depending on the

Super Audio CD layer and CD layer

combination.

• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density

signal layer for Super Audio CD

• CD layer1): A layer that is readable by a

conventional CD player

A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2

channel area or the multi-channel area.

• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel

stereo tracks are recorded

• Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-

channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are

recorded

1)You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD

player.

2)Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary

to turn the disc over.

3)To select a layer, see “To select a playback layer

when playing a hybrid Super Audio CD” (page 39).

4)To select an area, see “To select a playback area on a

2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD”

(page 38).
