• The power requirements and power 

consumption of this player are indicated on 
the back of the player. Check that the 
player’s operating voltage is identical with 
your local power supply.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 

place objects filled with liquids, such as 
vases, on the apparatus.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into 

the cabinet, unplug the player and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it any further.

• The player is not disconnected from the AC 

power source as long as it is connected to 
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has 
been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a 

long time, be sure to disconnect the player 
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC 
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull 
the cord.

• Place the player in a location with adequate 

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the 
player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface 

such as a rug.

• Do not place the player in a location near 

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical 
shock.

• Do not install the player in an inclined 

position. It is designed to be operated in a 
horizontal position only.

• Keep the player and the discs away from 

equipment with strong magnets, such as 
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the player.

• If the player 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 player. Should this occur, 
the player may not operate properly. In this 
case, remove the disc and leave the player 
turned on for about half an hour until the 
moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any 

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be 
damaged.

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 played.

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.

Do not use a commercially available cleaning 
disc. It may cause a malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems 
concerning your player, please consult your 
nearest Sony dealer.

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. Plasma 
display panel televisions and projection 
televisions are susceptible to this.

those recorded in the formats listed on the 
previous page.

• CD-ROMs recorded in PHOTO CD format.

area restrictions.

• 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 disc will not play if it has not been correctly 
finalized. For more information, see 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. Also some DATA CDs created 
in Packet Write format cannot be played.

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 (pinplug 

u 3 

y pinplug u 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.
