To connect to a TV with DVI input  
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not  
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any  
audio signals, so you have to use another  
audio connection in addition to this  
connection (page 18). Furthermore, you  
cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI  
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI  
jacks on PC displays).  
Note  
When connecting to a progressive TV, it is  
recommended that you use only pattern C. If you  
connect to your TV using both C and D, a special  
control signal transmitted via the SCART cable  
may cause the signal to be switched to the SCART  
jack.

format signals, use this connection and set  
“PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT  
ONLY)” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “ON”  
(page 58) to output progressive signals.

Notes  
• Do not connect more than one type of video cord  
between the player and your TV at the same time.  
• Do not use connections B and D at the same  
time.  
Do not bend or apply force to the HDMI  
connector.  
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and  
the player. If you pass the player signals via the  
VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the  
TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video  
input jack, connect the player to this jack.

About audio signals  
Notes  
Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the  
sound elements (channels) shown below.  
Each channel is output from a separate  
speaker.  
• Front (L)  
• Front (R)  
• Centre  
• Rear (L)  
• Rear (R)  
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either  
the Dolby Surround Sound processed  
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s  
monaural rear audio signals.  
• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal  
• While playing a Super VCD on which the audio  
track 2 is not recorded, no sound will come out  
when you select “2:STEREO,” “2:1/L,” or “2:2/  
R.”  
• When playing in DVD-VR mode: If you connect  
to an audio component using the DIGITAL OUT  
(COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and want to switch  
between the sound tracks, set “DOLBY  
DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”  
• If “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUTO” or  
“AUTO (BGM)” (page 50), you can hear the  
player’s internal background sound when MP3 is  
not played.  
Checking the audio signal  
format  
Note  
If “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF”  
(page 61), the DTS track selection option will not  
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS  
tracks.  
You can check the audio signal format by  
pressing  
(audio) repeatedly during  
playback. The format of the current audio  
signal (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.)  
appears as shown below.

TV Virtual Surround  
Settings (TVS)  
To cancel the setting  
Select “OFF” in step 2.  
TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC,  
TVS WIDE  
This mode is effective when the distance  
between the front L and R speakers is short,  
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.  
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front  
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets  
you enjoy surround sound effects by using  
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers  
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,  
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.  
TVS was developed by Sony to produce  
surround sound for home use using just a  
stereo TV.  
TVS NIGHT  
This feature is useful when you want to hear  
the dialogue and enjoy the surround sound  
effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.  
This only works when playing a multichannel  
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the  
player is set up to output the signal from the  
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT  
jack, the surround effect will only be heard  
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-  
PCM” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in  
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 61).  
TVS STANDARD  
Use this setting when you want to use TVS  
with 2 separate speakers.  
Notes  
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal  
for the rear speakers, the surround effects cannot  
be heard.  
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off  
the surround setting of the connected TV or audio  
component.  
• Make sure that your listening position is between  
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and  
that the speakers are located in similar  
surroundings.  
SUR  
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT”  
function in the same way.  
• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL)/  
HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to  
“DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG,” and  
“DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will  
come from your speakers but it will not have the  
SURROUND effect.  
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast  
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can  
change the TVS modes.
