Notes about

discs

• To keep the disc clean,

handle the disc by its edge.

Do not touch the surface.

• Do not expose the disc to

direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air

ducts, or leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight as

the temperature may rise

considerably inside the car.

• After playing, store the

disc in its case.

• Clean the disc with a

cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the

center out.

• Do not use solvents such as

benzine, thinner,

commercially available

disc/lens cleaners, or anti-

static spray intended for

vinyl LPs.

• If you have printed the

disc’s label, dry the label

before playing.

Precautions

On safety

• 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.

On power sources

• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.

• This 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 unit from the wall outlet if you do

not intend to use it for an extended period of

time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the

plug, never by the cord.

On placement

• Do not install the unit in a confined space such

as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It

is designed to be operated in a horizontal

position only.

• Keep the unit, discs and cassettes away from

equipment with strong magnets, such as

microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

On operation

• When you move the player, take out any discs. If

you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• If the unit 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 and cause damage to the video

head, tape, and the optical block. Should this

occur, the player may not operate properly.

When you first install the player, or when you

move it from a cold to a warm location, remove

the disc and tape and leave the player turned on

for about three hours before operating the

player.

On adjusting volume

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.

On cleaning

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.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use a commercially available cleaning

disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type).

These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On cleaning the video heads

When the video heads are dirty, clean the video

heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If

a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your

area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony

dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do

not use a commercially available liquid type

cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video

heads.

Basic hookups

Step 3 : Basic hookups

Before you get started

• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.

• Turn off the power to all equipment.

• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If

you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not

be able to use the Plug and Play function.

• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture

distortion.

• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony

dealer or qualified technician.

There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your DVD-VCR

so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use the accompanying

diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your DVD-VCR.

If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 15 for audio/video (A/V) hookup. Then follow

one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go directly to one of the

hookups below.

After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.

After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR. Procedures differ

depending on the hookup you used.

Caution

Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the

TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may

result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission

regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an

antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna

terminals of your receiver.

Note to CATV system installer (in USA)

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the

NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable

ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

Getting Started

Basic hookups

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if you hook

up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, see the

following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced Hookups” (page 30)

explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the picture and sound for a true

“hometheater” experience.

If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to make the

connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV programs, complete

these connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.

A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks

B Use this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacks

Notes

• To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.

• If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the

AUDIO IN jack on your TV.

Notes on playing DTS

* sound tracks on a CD

• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.

To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions

when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To

enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be

connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.

• Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD

(page 74).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 54), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 54).

• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to

“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 54). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Playing an MP3 audio track

Tips

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be

played in that order.

• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be

played back.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback

order may differ from the illustration above.

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving

pictures even though its diameter is the same

as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and

single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte),

which is 7 times that of a CD. The data

capacity of a double-layer and single-sided

DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-

sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and

double-sided DVD is 17GB.

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 (average) of its

original size. The DVD also uses a variable

rate coding technology that changes the data

to be allocated according to the status of the

picture. Audio information is recorded in a

multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,

allowing you to enjoy a more real audio

presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions

such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and

Parental Control functions are provided with

the DVD.

DVD+R (page 7)

A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable

disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.

Contents can be recorded only once to a

DVD+R, and will have the same format as a

DVD VIDEO.

DVD-R (page 7)

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the

same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be

recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will

have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.

The DVD-R has two different modes:

VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in

Video mode have the same format as a DVD

VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video

Recording) mode allow the contents to be

programmed or edited.

Glossary

DVD-RW (page 7)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable

disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.

The DVD-RW has two different modes:

VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs

created in Video mode have the same format

as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR

(Video Recording) mode allow the contents

to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 7)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and

rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording

format that is comparable to the DVD

VIDEO format.

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an

image as a single “field” and is the standard

method for displaying images on television.

The even number field shows the even

numbered lines of an image, and the odd

numbered field shows the odd numbered

lines of an image.

Progressive format (pages 31 and 58)

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 30 frames/60

fields in one second, the Progressive format

can show 60 frames in one second. The

overall picture quality increases and still

images, text, and horizontal lines appear

sharper. This player is compatible with the

480 progressive format.

Title (page 38)

The longest section of a picture or music

feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video

software, or the entire album in audio

software.

Track (page 38)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a

CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
