Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the

card remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last

approximately 1 year. (The service life may be

shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)

When the battery becomes weak, the range of the

card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace

the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use

of any other battery may present a risk of fire or

explosion.

Notes on the lithium battery

•Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.

Should the battery be swallowed, immediately

consult a doctor.

•Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good

contact.

•Be sure to observe the correct polarity when

installing the battery.

•Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be

sure to use one matching the

amperage rating stated on the

original fuse. If the fuse blows,

check the power connection and

replace the fuse. If the fuse

blows again after replacement,

there may be an internal

malfunction. In such a case,

consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Cleaning the connectors

The unit may not function properly if the connectors

between the unit and the front panel are not clean. In

order to prevent this, detach the front panel

(page 15) and clean the connectors with a cotton

swab. Do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the

connectors may be damaged.

Glossary

Album

Section of a music piece or an image on a DATA

CD/DVD containing MP3/WMA audio tracks or

JPEG files.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed

of several chapters.

DivX®

Digital video technology created by DivX, Inc.

Videos encoded with DivX technology are among

the highest quality with a relatively small file size.

Dolby Digital

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.

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 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 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 (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

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

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.

File

An MP3/WMA track, JPEG image, or a DivX video

on a DATA CD/DATA DVD. (“File” is an exclusive

definition for this unit.) A single file consists of a

single track, image, or movie.

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.

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

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc

standard where music is recorded in the DSD

(Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs

are 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.

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 VIDEO

CD, CD, Super Audio CD, or MP3/WMA. An

album is composed of several tracks (MP3/WMA

only).

continue to next page t

56

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
