Notes
• Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/
CD-RWs
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/
CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording 
quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics 
of the recording device and authoring software.
The DVD disc will not play if it has not been correctly 
finalized. For more information, refer to the operating 
instructions for the recording device. 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.
• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the 
Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs 
encoded with copyright protection technologies are being 
marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that 
among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the 
CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
• Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD 
recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the 
other side.
However, since the audio material side does not conform to the 
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not 
guaranteed.
• Note about double-layer DVDs
The playback pictures and sound may be momentarily 
interrupted when the layers switch.
About playback of discs recorded in 
AVCHD format
This player can play AVCHD format discs. 
What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera 
format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high 
definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*
1
 or the 720p 
specification*
2
 on DVDs, using efficient data compression 
coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted 
to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM 
system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher 
efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing 
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high 
definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera 
recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it 
would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.
“AVCHD” and the AVCHD logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electric 
Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.
*
1
A high definition specification which utilizes 1080 effective scanning 
lines and the interlace system.
*
2
A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning 
lines and the progressive system.
Notes
• Some AVCHD format discs may not play, depending on the recording 
condition.
• The  AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not been correctly 
finalized.

BD/DVD region code
Your player has a region code printed on the back of the unit and 
only will play BD-ROM/DVD VIDEOs (playback only) labelled 
with identical region codes. This system is used to protect 
copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labelled 
 will also play on this player.
Depending on the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO, there may be no region 
code indication, even though playing the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO is 
prohibited by area restrictions.
Note on playback operations of BDs/
DVDs
Some playback operations of BDs/DVDs may be intentionally 
set by software producers. Since this player plays BDs/DVDs 
according to the disc contents the software producers designed, 
some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the 
instructions supplied with the BDs/DVDs.
Copyrights
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that 
is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. 
Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized 
by Macrovision, and is intended for home and other limited

Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.
24p True Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. 
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) 
display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 
frames do not appear at an even pace. 
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player 
displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval 
originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing 
the original cinema image.
HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)
‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by 
connecting Sony components that are compatible with the 
HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord (not supplied).
BD-J application
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality 
when creating interactive BD-ROM titles*.
Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or 
registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and 
other countries.
Esmertec and Jbed are trademarks or registered trademarks of 
Esmertec AG.
© 2000-2007 Esmertec AG
* This player does not support downloadable BD-J content.
Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear 
PCM
In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can 
output up to 8ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a non-
compatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals 
from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.
* Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not 
output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMI-
compatible device that support 8ch signals.
AVCHD format disc playback
The player supports AVCHD format files–high definition 
recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high 
definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.

Notes about the HDMI OUT jack
• When you connect the player to an AV amplifier (receiver) 
using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one of the following:
– Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to a TV with the HDMI 
cord.
– Connect the player to the TV with a video cord other than an 
HDMI cord (component video cord, S VIDEO cord, or video 
cord).
• When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the 
HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend or apply pressure 
to the HDMI cord.
• If you change the component connected to the HDMI OUT 
jack, change “Audio (HDMI)” in “Audio Setup” to match the 
new component (page 47). The player stores the HDMI related 
settings for up to five components.
• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2ch Linear PCM 
signals (48 to 192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and 6 to 8ch Linear PCM 
signals (48 to 96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), in addition to Dolby 
Digital and DTS bit stream (5.1ch signals up to 96 kHz, 16/20/
24bit).
Note
If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio 
signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, which 
could damage your ears or speakers.
