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 31.) 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 on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD

The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the

DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to

“ON” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• When you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” no sound will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and

COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on

DVDs.

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 60.)

• If you don‘t operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes when a disc is not being played, the player automatically enters standby mode. (Auto Power Off function)

• 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.

Enjoying

Karaoke

This chapter describes how to play discs in karaoke mode and how to use the various karaoke features .

Using Karaoke

You can enjoy karaoke (singing along with a disc) by setting this player to karaoke mode. You can connect up to two microphones (not supplied) to the player.

Setting the player to karaoke mode

The player enters karaoke mode when a microphone is plugged into the MIC 1 or 2 connector.

The player exits from karaoke mode when you disconnect the microphones from both of the MIC 1 and 2 connectors.

You may also switch karaoke mode on or off by pressing

KARAOKE MODE on the remote. The KEY CONTROL button indicators light up when the player is in karaoke mode.

When you turn the karaoke mode on with DVDs or Super

VCDs, the karaoke play is performed with the audio channel you selected in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display. With CDs or VIDEO CDs, the “AUDIO” setting automatically changes to “1/L” so that only the accompaniment is played when you turn the karaoke mode on. If the vocal audio is heard with some discs, select the audio channel for the karaoke play in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display (page 31).

Notes on karaoke mode

• You cannot use the karaoke function with the DIGITAL OUT connectors.

• You cannot use the Program Play function in karaoke mode.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

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 35)

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 10, 66)

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 (page 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, 66)

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 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 34)

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

Multilingual function (pages 15, 33, 59)

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

Parental Control (page 61)

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 22)

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.

Glossary

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.
