10 Basic hookups

Step 3 : Basic hookups

Before you get started

• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.

• Turn off the power to all equipment.

• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If

you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not

be able to use the Plug and Play function.

• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture

distortion.

• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony

dealer or qualified technician.

Selecting the best hookup option

There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your

DVD-VCR so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use

the accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your

DVD-VCR.

If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 11 for audio/video (A/V) hookup.

Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go

directly to one of the hookups below.

After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.

After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR.

Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.

Caution

Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the

TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may

result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission

regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an

antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna

terminals of your receiver.

Note to CATV system installer (in USA)

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the

NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable

• To make a video timer reservation during DVD playback, we recommend performing the

operations under “Quick Timer Recording” (page 86).

Notes

• You can change the screen type using the “SCREEN SETUP” menu. (See “Screen Setup” on

page 54)

• Do not perform VIDEO playback while playing back a disc.

• If you play a DVD or VIDEO CD that has scratches, the player may stop playback at the

point of the scratch.

• Except for during normal play or FF1 play, no sound is output.

• Discs recorded in VR mode with Once Copy signal cannot be played because of copyright

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD

• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.

To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions

when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To

enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be

connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a

CD (page 73).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in

“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 52), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be

damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or

OPTICAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 52).

• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to

“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 52). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

* “DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

else is displayed as an asterisk.

• Up to 12 alphanumeric characters can be displayed for album or track names.

• ID3 tags cannot be displayed.

About MP3 audio tracks

You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the

discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 format for the player

to recognize the tracks.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supplied) for

details on the recording format.

To play a Multi Session CD

This player can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is located in the

first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can

also be played back. When audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD

format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Notes

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the

data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

• This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling

frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different

specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage.

• Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.

Playing an MP3 audio track

DVD Additional Operations

The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

• Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press HPLAY, the numbered tracks are played

sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently

selected album does not take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example:

E contains G but 6 is played before 7.)

When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 77), the

albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G.

Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list.

Tips

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be

played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be

played back.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ

from the illustration above.

• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums

and tracks in the DATA CD.

• A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.

Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are

recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first

9 MP3 files can be recognized.

• Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.

104 Glossary

Glossary

Chapter (page 31)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that

are smaller than titles. A title is composed of

several chapters. Depending on the disc, no

chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (pages 48 and 53)

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.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 48)

Audio signal processing technology that

Dolby Laboratories developed for surround

sound. When the input signal contains a

surround component, the Pro Logic process

outputs the front, center and rear signals.

The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 53)

Digital audio compression technology that

Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.

This technology conforms to 5.1-channel

surround sound. The rear channel is stereo

and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in

this format. DTS provides the same 5.1

discrete channels of high quality digital

audio.

Good channel separation is realized because

all of the channel data is recorded discretely

and little deterioration is realized because all

channel data processing is digital.

DVD (page 6)

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 17GB.

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 (page 6)

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 (page 6)

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.

Glossary

Additional Information

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an

image as a single “field” and is the standard

method for displaying images on television.

The even number field shows the even

numbered lines of an image, and the odd

numbered field shows the odd numbered

lines of an image.

Progressive format (pages 51 and 56)

Compared to the Interlace format that

alternately shows every other line of an

image (field) to create one frame, the

Progressive format shows the entire image at

once as a single frame. This means that

while the Interlace format can show 30

frames/60 fields in one second, the

Progressive format can show 60 frames in

one second. The overall picture quality

increases and still images, text, and

horizontal lines appear sharper. This player

is compatible with the 480 progressive

format.

Title (page 31)

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 (page 31)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a

CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
