open the cabinet. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
Keep the external memory away

promptly see a doctor.
Precautions
On safety
To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the player, or place
the player near water, such as
near a bathtub or shower room.
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.
Do not touch the AC power
cord with wet hands. Doing so
may cause an electric shock.
On placement
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 that
might block 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.
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.
Keep the player and the discs
away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
Do not place heavy or unstable
objects on the player.
Do not install the player in an
inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
Do not place any objects other
than discs on the disc tray.
Doing so may cause damage to
the player or the object.
When you move the player,
take out any discs. If you
don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
When you move the player,
disconnect the AC power cord
and all other cables from the
player.
On transporting the player
Before transporting the player,
follow the procedure below to
return the internal mechanisms
to their original positions.
1) Remove all the discs from the
disc slots.
2) Press OPEN/CLOSE to close
the front cover.
Make sure that “NO DISC”
appears on the front panel
display.
3) Wait for 10 seconds, then press
[/1 to turn off the player.
The player enters standby
mode.
4) Disconnect the AC power cord.
On power sources
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.

Observe following points to
prevent the AC power cord
being damaged. Do not use the
AC power cord if it is
damaged, as doing so may
result in an electric shock or
fire.
– Do not pinch the AC power
cord between the player and
wall, shelf, etc.
– Do not put anything heavy
on the AC power cord or pull
on the AC power cord itself.
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 cleaning discs or
disc/lens cleaners (including wet
or spray types). These may cause
the apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the events that this player is
repaired, repaired parts may be
collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
Do not use the following
discs.
A disc with a label or sticker
on it.
– A disc that has cellophane
tape or sticker adhesive on it.
– A disc that has a non-
standard shape (e.g., card,
heart).
– 8 cm (3-inch) disc adaptor.
The player cannot play an 8
cm disc. Do not insert an 8
cm (3-inch) disc or an 8 cm
(3-inch) disc adaptor. It may
damage the player and disc.
– A lens cleaning disc.
If you have printed the disc’s
label, dry the label before
playing.
If burrs or adhesive material
attach on the disc, the player
may work unstably. In order to
ensure stable operation, insert
a disc after removing burrs or
foreign objects. Burrs may be
removed by rubbing the edge
of the disc with the side of a
pen or pencil. If a disc does not
play, check for burrs on the
disc and its two adjacent discs.
Do not insert discs other than
those described in “Playable
Discs” (page 80). Inserting a
disc in a format not compatible
may cause a malfunction.
To ensure stable operation
To keep the disc clean, handle
the disc by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
Be careful not to leave
fingerprints especially on Blu-
ray Discs.
Dust, fingerprints, or scratches
on the disc may cause it to
malfunction.
Clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out.
Do not resurface the playing
side of a disc to remove
surface scratches.
Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner,
commercially available disc/
lens 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, or leave it
in a car parked in direct
sunlight as the temperature
may rise considerably inside
the car.
After removing a disc from the
disc slot, store the disc in its
case.

Step 1: Connecting to Your TV
The player has the following video jacks. Connect the player to your TV according to the input
jack on your TV.
If you connect the player to your TV using an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high quality digital
pictures and sound through the HDMI OUT jack.
b
Plug in cables 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.
Do not apply too much pressure on the connecting
cables. Pushing against the cabinet wall, etc., may
damage the cable.
To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cable (not
supplied). A DVI jack will not accept audio
signals, so you need to use another audio
connection in addition to this connection
(page 23).
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI
OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

sound through the HDMI OUT jack.
If you connect a Sony TV that is compatible with the “Control for HDMI” (BRAVIA Sync)
function (page 54), refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV.
If you connect a 1080/24p- or 1080p-compatible TV, use a High Speed HDMI cable.
Notes on connecting to the HDMI OUT jack
Observe the following as improper handling
may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the
connector.
Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the
rear of the player and the HDMI connector
by checking their shapes. Make sure the
connector is not upside down or tilted.
Be sure to disconnect an HDMI cable when
moving the player.

HDMI cable connected, do not apply too
much pressure to the cabinet wall. It may
damage the HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI
