Follow steps 1 to 6 to hook up and adjust the settings of the player.

• Plug cords securely to prevent unwanted noise.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the components to be connected.
• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a video input jack.
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord of each component before connecting.

Check that you have the following items:
• Audio/Video cord (phono plug 

×  3 y phono plug ×  3) (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (1)
• Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two Size AA (R6) batteries by 
matching the 

3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When 

using the remote, point it at the remote sensor 

 on the player.

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a 

malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage 

from battery leakage and corrosion.

Connect this player to your TV monitor, projector or AV amplifier (receiver) using a video cord. 
Select one of the patterns 

A through D, according to the input jack on your TV monitor, 

projector or AV amplifier (receiver).
In order to view progressive signal (480p) pictures with a compatible TV, projector or monitor, 
you must use pattern 

C. Select pattern D when connecting to a TV, projector or AV amplifier 

(receiver) equipped with HDMI input.

A

Connect the yellow plug of an audio/video cord (supplied) to the yellow (video) jack. You will 
enjoy standard quality images.
With this connection, select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” (default) by pressing the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.

B

Connect an S VIDEO cord (not supplied). You will enjoy high quality images.
With this connection, select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” (default) by pressing the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.

C

Connect the component via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a component video 
cord (not supplied) or three video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will 
enjoy accurate color reproduction and high quality images.
If your TV accepts progressive 480p format signals, use this connection and press the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to output progressive signals. For details, see “Using 
the PROGRESSIVE button” (page 21).

D

Use a certified Sony HDMI cord (not supplied) to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound 
through the HDMI OUT jack. When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the 
HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend and apply pressure to the HDMI cord.

To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio 
signals, so you have to use another audio connection in addition to this connection (page 22). 
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP 
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio, see 
page 65.

• Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, 

you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack, 
connect the player to this jack.

• If the picture appears too white when you are using

By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in 
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for 
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs 
progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:

PROGRESSIVE AUTO

NORMAL (INTERLACE)

◆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.

◆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.

◆NORMAL (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 (LINE OUT 

(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).

You cannot select this setting while the HDMI indicator is lit.

About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two 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. 
Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the 
normal (interlace) format.
