display panel televisions and projection  
televisions are susceptible to this.  
On power sources  
• The player is not disconnected from the  
AC power source (mains) 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 (mains  
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull  
the cord.

the ventilation holes.  
• Do not place the player in a location  
near heat sources, or in a place subject  
to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or  
mechanical shock.  
On operation  
• 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

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.  
• HD layer on Super Audio CDs.  
Also, the player cannot play the following discs:  
• A BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO with a different region code.  
• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).  
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.  
• A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape or a sticker still  
left on it.

• 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.  
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.  
• 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.

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.  
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).

Additional  
Information  
Power  
The power does not turn on.  
, Check that the mains lead is connected securely.  
, It takes a short while before the player turns on.  
Picture  
There is no picture/picture noise appears.  
, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.  
, The connecting cords are damaged.  
, Check the connection to your TV (page 10) and switch the  
input selector on your TV so that the signal from the player  
appears on the TV screen.  
, The disc is dirty or flawed.  
, If the picture output from your player goes through your  
VCR to get to your TV or if you are connected to a  
combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal  
applied to some BD/DVD programmes could affect picture  
quality. If you still experience problems even when you  
connect your player directly to your TV, try connecting your  
player to your TV’s S VIDEO input (page 10).  
, The player is connected to an input device that is not HDCP-  
compliant (the HDMI indicator on the front panel does not  
light up). See page 11.  
, If the HDMI OUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT  
jacks are used for video output, changing the output  
resolution may solve the problem (page 46). Press VIDEO  
FORMAT repeatedly until the picture appears correctly.  
, Depending on the disc, the picture quality may be poor when  
the VIDEO FORMAT setting is set to other than “480i,”  
even when the player is connected to a progressive or HD  
TV using a component cord or an HDMI cord. If this  
happens, press VIDEO FORMAT repeatedly to switch to  
“480i.”  
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may  
be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers  
switch.

Dolby TrueHD (page 48)  
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only  
Memory) are commercially produced  
discs and are available in the same  
capacities as the BD below. Other than  
conventional movie and video contents,  
these discs have enhanced features such  
as interactive content, menu operations  
using pop-up menus (see below),  
selection of subtitle display, and  
slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may  
contain any form of data, most BD ROM  
discs will contain movies in High  
Definition format, for playback on Blu-  
ray Disc players.  
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding  
technology that supports up to 8  
channels of multi-channel surround  
sound for the next generation optical  
discs. The reproduced sound is true to  
the original source bit-for-bit.  
Glossary  
AACS  
“Advanced Access Content System” is a  
specification for managing digital  
entertainment contents stored on the next  
generation of prerecorded and recorded  
optical media. The specification enables  
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment  
content, including high-definition  
content.  
Digital audio compression technology  
that DTS, Inc. developed. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer  
channel in this format. DTS provides the  
same discrete channels of high quality  
digital audio.  
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 5)  
Good channel separation is realized  
because all of the channel data is  
recorded discretely and little  
deterioration occurs because all channel  
data processing is digital.  
A disc format developed for recording/  
playing high-definition (HD) video (for  
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large  
amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray  
Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer  
Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.  
The AVCHD format is a high definition  
digital video camera format used to

data compression coding technology.  
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is  
adopted to compress video data, and the  
Dolby Digital or Linear PCM 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  
compression 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 DVDs in the same way as

Dolby Digital (page 47)  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer  
channel in this format. Dolby Digital  
provides the same discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio found in  
“Dolby Digital” theatre surround sound  
systems. Good channel separation is  
realized because all of the channel data is  
recorded discretely and little  
downmixed to 5.1 or 2 channels for  
backward compatibility, and the  
reproduced audio quality can either be at  
the bit rate of DTS Digital Surround or  
the lossless mode.

Compared to the Interlace format that  
alternately shows every other line of an  
image (field) to create one frame, the  
Progressive format shows the entire  
image at once as a single frame. This  
means that while the Interlace format can  
show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in  
one second, the Progressive format can  
show 50-60 frames in one second. The  
overall picture quality increases and still  
images, text, and horizontal lines appear  
sharper.  
A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a  
recordable and rewritable disc.  
DVD+RWs use a recording format that  
is comparable to the DVD VIDEO  
format.
