5.1 Channel Surround Hookups
Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital, MPEG audio 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.
“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 38.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in
MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down to
5.1 channels.
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.

Glossary
Bit rate (page 42)
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 38)
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 13, 65)
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 40, 65)
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 13, 65)
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.
MPEG audio (page 13)
International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on
DVDs conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.
Multi-angle function (page 37)
Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function (pages 16, 37, 57)
Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control (page 60)
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 24)
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.
76
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.
