About JPEG image files

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVDROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session or Multi Border (see Note on Multi Session/Border discs on page 98). Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Notes If both video data and JPEG image files exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only the video data. A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 9 MP3 files can be recognized.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first session/border will be played back.

Glossary

Chapter (page 38) Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded. Dolby Digital (pages 62 and 67) Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 62) Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural. DTS (page 67) Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. DVD (page 6) 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 doublesided 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-RW (page 6) 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 6) 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 65 and 70) 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). Additional Information

Notes If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased. If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work with the DVD-VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander. When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may change. Set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

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.
Selecting the best hookup option
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.

If you have Antenna only, no cable TV No cable box or cable box with only a few scrambled channels Cable box with many scrambled channels Use Hookup 1 A or B (Plug and Play) Hookup 1 C (Plug and Play) Hookup 2 Refer to Page 16 and 18 Page 17 and 18 Page 19
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-VCRs 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 installers 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.

Basic hookups

Audio/video (A/V) hookup
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

About JPEG image files

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/ DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session or Multi Border (see Note on Multi Session/Border discs on page 87). Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Notes If both video data and JPEG image files exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only the video data. A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 9 MP3 files can be recognized.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first session/border will be played back.
Tip If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the file names, the files will be played in that order. Notes This player can play JPEG image files with the extension.JPEG or.JPG. Some DATA CDs or DATA DVDs cannot be played on this system depending on file format. The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format. If you add the extension.JPG or.JPEG to data not in JPEG format, Can not Display will appear. Depending on the disc or the size of image files, playback may take some time to start. Progressive and lossless compression JPEG image files are not supported. The image size that can be displayed is limited. You can display the following images; width 32 - 7680 pixels by height 32 - 8192 pixels.
