Precision Drive 2 System: Previous versions of Precision Drive were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. The new Precision Drive 2 system simplifies the process by moving the lens instead of the entire optical block for faster, more accurate error correction. Precision Drive 2 features Dynamic Tilt Compensation which corrects for disc orientation during playback. This method is simpler, faster, and able to correct for an even wider range of disc imperfections.
Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) Technology: Other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level. Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
192kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Converter: This player features a 192kHz/24-bit audio D/A converter.
108MHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter: The high-speed 108MHz/12-bit video D/A converter employs 4X oversampling for much more effective noise filtering. The result is smoother gradation and a more realistic picture.
Progressive Scan Output: The component video output on this unit can be used to send 480p progressive scan signals to a progressive scan capable television. In contrast to the 30 frames shown per second by the interlaced format, the progressive format displays 60 frames per second for more detailed images. This unit allows you to fine tune the Progressive video output using the following conversion modes:
- Normal (Interlace): Select this when the unit is connected to a standard (Interlace format) TV
- Progressive Auto: Normally, select this mode when connected to a Progressive Scan-capable TV. It will automatically detect if you are playing Film-based software (shot at 24 frames per second) or Video-based software (shot at 30 frames/60 fields per second), and convert the signal to the appropriate conversion mode.
- Progressive Video: When connected to a progressive TV, this choice sets the conversion mode for Video-based software, regardless of the type of software you are playing.
- Progressive Film: When connected to a progressive TV, this choice sets the conversion mode for Film-based software, regardless of the type of software you are playing. Note: This unit uses Full 3-2 Reverse Conversion when converting Film-based software to a Progressive Scan video signal.
Component Video Output: In addition to the composite and S-video outputs, this unit is equipped with a set of component video outputs. When connected to a television with a component video input, the component video output of this unit will provide picture color and detail that is superior to video from composite and S-video outputs. The component video output may be set for interlaced or progressive scan operation.
Digital Video Enhancer: The Digital Video Enhancer makes the picture appear clear and crisp by enhancing the outlines of images on your TV screen. You can select one of three levels; each level enhances the outline more than the previous level. In addition, you can select "Soft", which softens the image, or the Digital Video Enhancer can be turned off.
Block Noise Reduction (BNR): The BNR function adjusts the picture quality by reducing the "block noise" or mosaic-like patterns that appear on your TV screen.
Custom Picture Mode: You can choose from the following Custom Picture Mode settings:
- Standard: displays a standard picture
- Dynamic 1: produces a bold dynamic picture by increasing the picture contrast and the color intensity

- Cinema 1: enhances details in dark areas by increasing the black level
- Cinema 2: white colors become brighter and black colors become richer, and the color contrast is increased
- Memory: allows you to individually adjust and store the following settings: picture, brightness, color, and hue
TV Virtual Surround (TVS): TV Virtual Surround generates a convincing surround sound effect using only two stereo speakers, with a stereo receiver or directly out of the television speakers. You can turn this feature Off or you can select one of the following settings:
- TVS Dynamic: uses sound imaging to create a single set of virtual rear speakers. This mode is effective when using speakers that are close together, such as on a television.
- TVS Wide: uses sound imaging to create multiple virtual rear speakers. This mode is effective when using speakers that are close together, such as on a television.
- TVS Night: The large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected.
- TVS Standard: uses sound imaging to create multiple virtual rear speakers. This mode is effective when using separate front speakers that are far apart.

Multi-disc Resume: The player stores the point where you stopped the disc for up to 6 discs and resumes playback from the stored location the next time you insert the same disc. The resume playback point is cleared for a disc when you change the play mode or you change the settings on the Setup Display while the disc is playing.
