5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital 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.

“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 34.

Speaker placement

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.

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 “OFF” 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 30.) If you set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the

OUTPUT connectors, correctly set each speaker position and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see page 56.

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect only 2 front speakers, Virtual

Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes:

VES TV, VES A, VES B, VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI

DIMENSION.

If the player is set up to output the signal from the

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connector, the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY

DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the

CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital sound of the

DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) A

When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use

3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers.

Select one of the following modes:

NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND,

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the

Note

When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there may be no effect on the sound.

x CENTER SPEAKER EQ (equalizer)

Makes the spoken track clear by changing the frequency response when speech is difficult to hear. A center speaker must be connected to the CENTER connector of 5.1CH

(Pro Logic). The signals without the Dolby Surround

(Pro Logic) effect are output.

x DIGITAL OUT

Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• ON: Normally select this position. When you select

“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/

Setting the Digital Output Signal

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver

(amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital or

DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or

COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord. For connection details, see page 10.

You cannot adjust “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS” and

“48kHz/96kHz PCM” if you set “DIGITAL OUT” to

“OFF.”

Glossary

Bit rate (page 36)

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is

1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter (page 5)

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.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 34)

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.

Dolby Digital (pages 11, 55)

Digital audio compression technology developed by

Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1channel 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.

Dolby Pro Logic (pages 35, 55)

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 (pages 11, 56)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater

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

DVD (page 4)

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 dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.

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.

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.

Multi-angle function (page 33)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (pages 14, 32, 49)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 51)

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.

Playback Control (PBC) (page 21)

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.

Title (page 5)

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.

Track (page 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 (page 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.
