Note on PBC (Playback
Control) (VIDEO CDs)
This system conforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of
VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds
of playback depending on the disc type.
About Multi Session CD
• This system can play Multi Session CDs when
an MP3 audio track is contained in the first
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks
recorded in later sessions can also be played
back.
• This system can play Multi Session CDs 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 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.
About the 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.
Types of Super Audio CDs
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 layer*
1
: A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
*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 “Selecting a Playback layer for
a Super Audio CD” (page 46).
Region code
Your system has a region code printed on the
back of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled
with the same region code.
DVD VIDEOs 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.

A To connect to a TV with the SCART input jack
Connect the system to your TV using the SCART (EURO AV) cord (not supplied).
Be sure to connect the SCART (EURO AV) cord to the EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jack on the
system.
When you connect using the SCART (EURO AV) cord, check that the TV conforms to VIDEO signal
or RGB signals. If the TV conforms to VIDEO signal, change the input mode of the TV to RGB signals.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected.
B To connect to a TV with the VIDEO IN jacks
Connect the video cord.
C To connect to a TV with the S VIDEO IN jack
Connect an S video cord (not supplied). When using the S video jack instead of the video jacks, your
TV monitor must also be connected via an S video jack. S video signals are on a separate bus from the
video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
D To connect to a TV with the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks
Connect a component video cord (not supplied). To use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y, PB/
C
B, PR/CR) instead of the video jacks, your TV monitor must be equipped with via COMPONENT
VIDEO IN jacks (Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR). If your TV accepts progressive format signals, you should use this
connection and set the output channel of the system to progressive format (page 22).
• Only when DVD function is selected (by pressing FUNCTION repeatedly until “DVD” appears in the front panel
display), the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks output video signals.

Does your TV accept progressive signals?
Progressive is the method for displaying TV images which reduces flickering, and sharpens the image.
To display using this method, you need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive signals.
“P AUTO” or “P VIDEO” appears in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive
signals.
1 Press FUNCTION repeatedly to select “DVD.”
2 Press PROGRESSIVE.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
x P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and
selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
x P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO)
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and,
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when

either of the above conditions is not met.
x INTERLACE
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR
OUT (VIDEO/S VIDEO)/EURO AV
T OUTPUT (TO TV)).
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30
frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the
progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear
unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though
you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/
S VIDEO) /EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
• If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 82), the system switches to “INTERLACE.” This will
happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO.”
• If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 82), the system outputs no component video signals.

About S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the vast
amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led to the
development of all-new processing method and advanced DSP to
handle this task effectively, which we call S-Force PRO Front
Surround. Compared with previous front surround technologies,
S-Force PRO Front Surround reproduces a more convincing sense
of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience
without the need for rear speakers.

What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is
image compression technology.
Discs that the system can
play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio
Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs
must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level
1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the system to
recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play
discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
About the multi-session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session, the system will also
play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in
other sessions. If audio tracks and images in
audio CD format or video CD format are
recorded in the first session, only the first
session will be played back.
• The system may not be able to play some DATA
CDs. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images
recorded.
MP3 audio track or JPEG
image file that the system can
play
The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files:
• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio
track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)
• which conform to the DCF* image file format
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image
standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA).
• The system will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if they are not in
MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate
a loud noise which could damage your speaker
system.
• The system does not conform to audio in MP3PRO
format.
Playback order of MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as
follows:
x Structure of disc contents
When you insert a DATA CD and press H, the
numbered tracks (or files) are played
sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-
albums/tracks (or files) contained within a
currently selected album take priority over the

next album in the same tree. (Example: C
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 48), the album names are
arranged in alphabetical order (A t B t C
t D t F t G). Albums that do not contain
tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear
in the list.
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in
a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.
• If a disc consists of many trees, it takes longer to start
playback.
• Playback order may differ from the illustration
depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD, or if there are more than 200 albums and
300 files in each album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will
not play any albums beyond the 200th.
• The system may take longer time to playback, when
progressing to the following album or jump to other
album.
• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.
MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files
recorded on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) can be played on this system.

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 system on a soft surface such as a rug
and do not block the ventilation holes.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

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.
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

• The video input on the TV is not set so that you
can view pictures from the system.
Picture noise appears.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes
through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-
protection signal applied to some DVD programs
could affect picture quality. If you still experience
problems even when you connect your system
directly to your TV, try connecting your system to
your TV’s S video input (page 20, 26).
Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV
TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does
not fill the screen.
• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.
Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen.
The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system
are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic
leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a
high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens,
check the following items:
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or
projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 m from
the TV set.
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set
once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther
away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch
on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is
placed near the speakers.

Album
Section of a music piece or an image on a data
CD containing MP3 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
DivXNetworks, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX
technology are among the highest quality with a
relatively small file size.
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.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Digital Theater Systems, 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.
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, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times
that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and
a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of
a worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also
uses the variable rate coding technology that
processes allocated data according to the status
of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more
realistic 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
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD or a
DivX video on a DATA CD/DATA DVD.
(“File” is an exclusive definition for this
system.) A single file consists of a single 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,

GB
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.
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.
Multi-angle function
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
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.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)
to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing
simple interactive programs, programs with
search functions, and so on.
Progressive format
(sequential scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the
progressive format can reproduce 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 progressive format.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD system
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each
region code is shown on the system as well as on
the disc packaging. The system can play discs
that match its region code. The system can also
play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the
region code is not shown on the DVD, the region
limit may still apply.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures
and still pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes.”
S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic
data accumulated as a result) has led to the
development of all-new processing method and
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively,
which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround.
Compared with previous front surround
technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance
and space, resulting in a true surround sound
experience without the need for rear speakers.
S-Master
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology
developed by Sony, which effectively
minimizes the occurrence of sound
fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb
dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the
original sound. The compact amplifier section
supports a higher power efficiency and
improved thermal performance.
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, or MP3. An album is
composed of several tracks (MP3 only).
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
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the
audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
