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.
“PROGRE” lights up in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive signals.

2Press VIDEO FORMAT.
The current signal appears in the front panel display.
Each time you press VIDEO FORMAT, the display changes as follows:
xNORMAL (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)).
xPROGRESSIVE
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 are not met.
Note When you connect the unit and the TV with the HDMI cord during the system is set to “NORMAL 
(INTERLACE),” the system is set to “PROGRESSIVE” automatically.
Tip When you connect the unit and the TV with the HDMI cord, VIDEO FORMAT is used for selecting the type of 
video signals output from the HDMI OUT jack. For details, see “To select the type of video signal output from the 
HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack” (page 20).
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.
Note 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,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they 
are output in the interlace format.

The auto decoding function automatically 
detects the type of audio signal being input 
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel 
stereo) and performs the proper decoding if 
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it 
was recorded/encoded, without adding any 
effects (e.g. reverberation).
However, if there are no low frequency signals 
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low 
frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.
Outputting the sound from 
multiple speakers
xAUTO FORMAT DIRECT MULTI
This mode lets you enjoy audio playback of all 
types of discs from multiple speakers.
Note The sound is not output from multiple speakers 
depending on the source.
 Depending on the disc or source, the beginning of the 
sound may be cut off as the optimum mode is 
automatically selected. To avoid cutting the sound,

front, center, and surround speakers. 
Meanwhile, the surround channel becomes 
monaural.
xDolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC
Dolby Pro Logic II produces five full-bandwidth 
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is 
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix 
surround decoder that extracts the spatial 
properties of the original recording without

About DCS (Digital Cinema 
Sound)
In collaboration with Sony Pictures 
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound 
environment of their studios and integrated the 
data of the measurement and Sony’s own DSP 
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to 
develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital 
Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an 
ideal movie theater sound environment based on 
the preference of the movie director.
xCINEMA STUDIO EX A (Cinema Studio 
EX A)
Reproduces the sound characteristics of the 
Sony Pictures Entertainment “Cary Grant 
Theater” cinema production studio. This is a 
standard mode, great for watching most any type 
of movie.
xCINEMA STUDIO EX B (Cinema Studio 
EX B)
Reproduces the sound characteristics of the 
Sony Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak 
Theater” cinema production studio. This mode 
is ideal for watching science-fiction or action 
movies with lots of sound effects.
xCINEMA STUDIO EX C (Cinema Studio 
EX C)
Reproduces the sound characteristics of the 
Sony Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This 
mode is ideal for watching musicals or classic 
films where music is featured in the soundtrack.
About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying movie 
software encoded with multi channel format, 
such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode 
reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony 
Pictures Entertainment’s studios.
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following 
three elements.
 Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates five sets of virtual speakers 
surrounding the listener from a single pair of 
actual surround speakers.
 Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from 
inside the image reflected on the movie screen. 
This element creates the same sensation in 
your listening room by shifting the sound of 
the front speakers “into” the screen.
 Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a 
movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the 
integrated mode which operates these 
elements simultaneously.
Note The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise 
in the playback signal. 
 When listening with sound fields that employ virtual 
speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound 
coming directly from the surround speakers.
Using only the front speaker 
and subwoofer
x2 CHANNEL STEREO
This mode outputs the sound from the front left 
and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard 2 
channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the 
sound field processing. Multi channel surround 
formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only 
the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
To turn the surround effect off
Press SOUND FIELD +/– repeatedly until 
“A.F.D. STD” or “2CH STEREO” appears in 
the front panel display.
