5.1 Ch a n n e l Su rro u n d Ho o ku p s

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels

recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. Using a receiver

(amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and 6 speakers, you

can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of

your own home.

Do not connect the pow er cord to a sw itched AC outlet

such as the AC outlet on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so

may cause the Playback Memory, Bookmark, Disc Explorer

and menu settings to be cancelled w hen you turn off the

receiver.

“5.1 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and

Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker,

and a subwoofer.

Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, the player

appropriately distributes the output signal to the

speakers.

This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode.

You can use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the

rear speakers away from the actual speaker position

(VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear

speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL

MULTI REAR, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D

SURROUND mode, see page 47.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the

POWER switch before completing all connections.

• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be

connected.

• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A

loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• If you want to connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT

OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial

digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 10.

Se t u p s fo r t h e p la ye r

Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player

depending on the components to be connected.

Use the setup display to change the various settings.

For details on using the setup display, see page 63.

Sp e a ke r p la ce m e n t

For the best possible surround sound, we recommend the

following conditions.

• Use higher performance speakers.

• Use rear and center speakers that match your front

speakers in size and performance.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if

possible.

• To enjoy surround sounds by connecting the player

to a receiver (amplifier) w ith 5.1 channel inputs

Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position

(page 75).

Note

Do not place the rear speakers farther away from the listening

position than the front speakers.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the

player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.

The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT

OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO

SETUP” is set to “D-PCM” in the setup display, and may affect

your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks

on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 43.) If you set

the sound to “1/ L” or “2/ R,” no sound will come from the

DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may

come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears

or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Notes

• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for

15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. It

will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15

minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press H.

(If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 67.)

• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player by pressing !.

Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When you turn

off the player, press x first to stop playback and then press @/ 1

on the remote. After the power indicator lights up in red and

the player enters standby mode, press ! on the player.

• WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live

performance. This function only works when you are

playing a Dolby Digital disc and is more effective when

you connect 6 speakers using the 5.1 channel

connectors. When you use high quality speakers, it is

even more effective.

Note

When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,”

“DTS” and “48kHz/ 96kHz PCM.“

GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a

dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.

Ch a p t e r (p a g e 5)

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 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.

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are

smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters.

Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you

to locate the chapter you want.

Dig it a l Cin e m a So u n d (DCS) (p a g e 47)

Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in

PCM, 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.

The general name of technology that Sony developed to

enjoy surround sound in a home. It simulates the sound

of a movie editing studio instead of the usual concert hall

so that you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie

theater in the comfort of your own home. The VES

(Virtual Enhanced Surround) system contained in DCS

programs can create the sound image of virtual rear

speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R)

without using actual rear speakers.

Mu lt i-a n g le fu n ct io n (p a g e 46)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video

camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Mu lt ilin g u a l fu n ct io n (p a g e s 14, 45, 66)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a

picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Do lb y Dig it a l (p a g e s 11, 74)

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 is recorded discretely and

processed in digital.

Pa re n t a l Co n t ro l (p a g e 69)

A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc

according to the age of the user and the limitation level in

each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc;

when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited,

violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes,

and so on.

Do lb y Pro Lo g ic (p a g e s 48, 73)

Pla yb a ck Co n t ro l (PBC) (p a g e 25)

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.

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control

playback.

By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC

functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive

programs, programs with search functions, and so on.

DTS (p a g e s 11, 74)

Tit le (p a g e 5)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater

Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-

channel surround. 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 processed in

digital.

The longest section of a picture or a music piece on a

DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;

or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software.

Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate

the title you want.

Glo ssa ry

Tra ck (p a g e 5)

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO

CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to

locate the track you want.

VIDEO CD (p a g e 4)

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.

The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the

worldwide standards of digital compression technology.

The picture data is compressed to about 1/ 140 of its

original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can

contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.

VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds

outside the range of human hearing are compressed while

the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs

can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional

audio CDs.

There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.

• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and

sounds.

• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures

and enjoy PBC functions.

This player conforms to both versions.
