DualDisc is a two sided disc product which  
mates DVD recorded material on one side with  
digital audio material on the other side. Please  
be aware that the audio side of a DualDisc may  
not play on this product because these discs do  
not conform to the CD standard. “DualDisc” is a  
trademark of the Recording Industry  
Association of America (RIAA).  
Cautions when playing a disc  
that is recorded in Multi  
Session  
• A disc recorded in packet write format cannot  
be played.  
Note on playback operations  
of DVDs and VIDEO CDs  
• When playing a disc which contains audio  
tracks in music CD format, MP3 audio tracks  
and JPEG image files, only the audio tracks in  
music CD format can be played back.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-  
session that have not ended by “closing the  
session” are not supported.  
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO  
CDs may be intentionally set by software  
producers. Since this system plays DVDs and  
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the  
software producers designed, some playback  
features may not be available. Also, refer to the  
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO  
CDs.

In case color irregularity is observed  
on nearby a TV screen  
With the magnetically shielded type of speaker system,  
the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However,  
color irregularity may still be observed on the TV  
screen depending on the type of your TV set.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On operating voltage  
If color irregularity is observed…  
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30  
minutes.  
Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
If color irregularity is observed  
again…  
Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.  
On safety  
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by  
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still  
video image or on-screen display image on your  
television screen indefinitely. If 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.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,  
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
On operation  
On placement  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a  
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD/  
DVD player. Should this occur, the system will not  
operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the  
system turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;  
– Extremely hot or cold  
– Dusty or dirty  
– Very humid  
– Subject to vibrations  
– Subject to direct sunlight.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc.  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On heat buildup  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the system.  
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the  
ventilation hole for the cooling fan.

Notes on discs  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
When using a tape longer than  
90 minutes  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape  
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding  
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape  
deck.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat  
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car  
parked in direct sunlight.  
Cleaning the tape heads  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be  
sure to clean the tape heads before you start an  
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a  
separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette.  
For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning  
cassette.  
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.  
This may cause a malfunction to the system.  
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky  
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a  
special ink when the label was printed, there is a  
chance that the disc or label may become attached to  
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be  
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this  
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label  
side of the disc is not sticky before using.  
The following types of disc should not be used:  
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the  
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the  
seal on the disc is tacky.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads  
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that  
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of  
use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For  
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing  
cassette.  
– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink  
that feels tacky when touched.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or  
solvent such as thinner, benzine or alcohol.  
To save a tape permanently  
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded  
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as  
illustrated.  
Break off the  
cassette tab  
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover  
the broken tab with adhesive tape.  
Before placing a cassette in the tape  
deck  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape may  
get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become  
damaged.

DVD  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same as  
a CD.  
Glossary  
Album  
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  
the worldwide standards 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  
changes the data to be allocated according to the  
status of the picture.  
Section of a music piece on a data CD  
containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image  
files.  
Auto Pause  
An automatical pauses according to the signal  
encoded on the disc while playing a VIDEO CD.  
If the CD/DVD player does not resume play for  
a long time, press DVD N (or DVD NX on  
the unit) to resume play manually.  
Chapter  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD  
that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of  
several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a  
chapter number enabling you to locate the  
chapter you want.  
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.  
Dolby Digital  
This sound format for movie theaters 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” because the subwoofer channel is  
counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only  
when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
to realize superior channel separation.  
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,  
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays  
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.  
Furthermore, since all the signals are processed  
digitally, less signal degradation occurs.  
DTS  
Digital audio compression technology that the  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This  
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.  
The surround channel is stereo and there is  
discrete sub woofer channel in this format. DTS  
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high  
quality digital audio. The good channel  
separation is realized because the all channel  
data is recorded discrete and processed in  
digital.

displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in  
addition to the video playback functions of Ver.  
1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play high-  
resolution still pictures, if they are included on  
the disc.  
Multi Session  
This is a recording method that enables adding  
of data using the Track-At-Once method.  
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area  
called the Lead-in and end at an area called  
Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having  
multiple sessions, with each segment from  
Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.  
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD  
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the  
tracks in session 2.  
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 the  
discs that match its region code. The system can

VIDEO CD  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of  
the worldwide standards for 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 the 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.
