device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating
instructions for the recording device.

6GB

Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have
been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA
DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Notes about Multi Session CD
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 ALL 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.

Notes about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD
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 of
the DVD or VIDEO CD.

The system will attempt to play any data with the extensions above, even if it is not in MP3/WMA/
AAC/JPEG/DivX/MPEG4 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage
your speaker system.
The following can increase the time it takes to start playback:
– when a DATA CD/DATA DVD/USB device is recorded with a complicated tree structure.
– when the audio files, JPEG image files, or video files in another folder have just been played.
Some files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs/USB devices cannot be played by the system depending on
the file format.
The system can play to a depth of 8 folders only.
The system may not be able to play an audio file, JPEG image file, or video file depending on the file
type.
Files recorded by a device such as a computer may not be played in the order in which they were
recorded.
Folders that have no audio files, JPEG image files, or video files are skipped.
Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/AAC encoding/writing software, recording devices, and
recording media cannot be guaranteed.
Compatibility with all MPEG4 video encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording
media cannot be guaranteed.
The playback order may not be applicable depending on the software used for creating the audio file,
JPEG image file, or video file, or if there are more than 200 folders or 150 files in each folder.

Additional Information

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 system 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 system can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may
block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the system 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 system in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the system and discs away from components
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

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 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.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

78GB

• 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 your 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 your TV set.
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.

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).

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

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

Additional Information

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.

This system can only play 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.
