To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied) with an HDMI-DVI adaptor (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio signals. Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).
Only when DVD function is selected (by pressing FUNCTION repeatedly until DVD appears in the front panel display), the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks output video signals, and the HDMI OUT jack outputs video/audio signals (HDMI audio out default setting is OFF).
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV

Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio, see page 77.
Does your TV accept progressive signals?
Progressive is the method for displaying TV images which reduces flickering, and sharpens the image. To display using this method, you need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive signals.

P AUTO or P VIDEO appears in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive signals.
Press FUNCTION repeatedly to select DVD. Press PROGRESSIVE.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
t P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)
r P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO) r INTERLACE
x P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)
Select this setting when: your TV accepts progressive signals, and, the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion method. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.
x P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO)
Select this setting when: your TV accepts progressive signals, and, the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and, you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software. Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.

x INTERLACE

Select this setting when: your TV does not accept progressive signals, or, your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/S VIDEO)).
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.
When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to PROGRESSIVE AUTO or PROGRESSIVE VIDEO, images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/ S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
Connecting the audio cords
Outputs TV sound through the speakers of this system. When you want to output stereo (2-channel) TV sound from the system speakers, choose connection A or B below. The quality of the audio increases from A to B.

Available sound fields

Sound field Display
When the system receives DVD multi-channel signals or AC-3 multiplex broadcast signals, the default AUTO setting is FOCUS SURROUND. (You can change the AUTO setting to WIDE SURROUND in AMP MENU.) When the system receives CDs or DATA CDs, the AUTO setting is 2CH STEREO. The sound field for Super Audio CDs is 2CH STEREO only. The surround effect might be difficult to hear depending on the type of source signals (e.g., digital stereo signals, digital multi signals, etc.) except for DVD multi-channel signals.

* Using S-FORCE PRO FRONT SURROUND technology.
About S-FORCE PRO FRONT SURROUND
Sonys long-term involvement in surround technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led to the development of all-new processing method and advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call S-FORCE PRO FRONT SURROUND. Compared with previous front surround technologies, S-FORCE PRO FRONT SURROUND reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers.
The system memorizes the last sound field selected for each function mode. Whenever you select a function such as DVD or TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to function is automatically applied again. If the AC power cord (mains lead) is disconnected for a long period of time, the system may return to its default settings.

About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files
* Design rule for Camera File system: Image standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technology that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.
The system will play any data with the extension.MP3,.JPG, or.JPEG even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system. The system does not conform to audio in MP3PRO format.
Discs that the system can play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CDRs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the system to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/ CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as follows:

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. This system can only play back a standard circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction. Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.
Connect the TV and the system using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the TVs input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-screen displays. Change the [HDMI RESOLUTION] setting in [SCREEN SETUP], and switch the TVs input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and try other options.

Picture noise appears. The disc is dirty or flawed. If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the copyprotection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your system directly to your TV, try connecting your system to your TVs S video input (page 20, 25). Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does not fill the screen. The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed. Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen. The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following items: If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 m (1.0 ft) from the TV set. If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set. Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

Mass (approx.) Supplied accessories
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
This movie theater sound format 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 with the subwoofer channel designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
