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 virtnal 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 lbr home use using just a stereo TV.

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

(OAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be heard only when "DOLBY DIGITAL" and

"DTS" are set to "D-PCM" in "AUDIO

Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver) with the _ connection (page 26).

You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro

"VIRTUAL MULTI REAR," and

"VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION" make use of this technology.

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to create snrround effects.

The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds.

If you are using a center speaker, the appropriate sounds lbr the center speaker wil!

Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 26, 91)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.

This technology confom_s to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.

Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio

Ibund in "Dolby Digital" theater surround sound systems.

Good channel separation is realized becanse all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 25, 91)

Audio signal processing technology that

Dolby Laboratories developed for surronnd 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 (page 26, 68, 91)

Digital audio compression technology that

Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.

This technology confom_s to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.

DTS provides discrete channels of high quality digital audio.

Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized becanse all channel data processing is digital.

DVD VIDEO (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 honrs of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

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

9.4 GB, and double-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 (average) 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 information is recorded in a nmlti-channel fomlat, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to el_ioy a more real audio presence.

Fnrthermore, various advanced ftmctions such as the muhi-angle, muhilingual, mid

Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6, 38)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as the DVD VIDEO.

The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode.

DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same fomlat as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording fore, at that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

Film based software, Video based software (page 74)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or

Video based software.

Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters.

Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-corns, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Index (CD)Nideo Index (VIDEO CD) (page

10, 15, 60)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a CD or

VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded.

Interlace format (page 87)

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single "field" and is the standard method for displaying images on television.

The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive conversion method (page 74)

• Video based software conversion

Video shows an image by alternately displaying every other line of an image (field) at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace lbnnat).

Interlace pictures

Converted progressive pictures

• Film based sol, rare conversion

Film shows an image by displaying an entire image at 24 frames per second.

When you watch a film on television, the television displays every other line of the frame as a field, thus reducing information level and the clarity of the film image.

The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60 fields) per second by displaying every other line of the image, causing scanning lines to appear across the image. Since only half of the image is shown at once, the amount of information contained in an image is limited.

The Progressive lbrmat displays 60 entire frames per seconds.

The player accomplishes this by converting each field into a frame by using either a field-based conversion method or a frame-based conversion method.

The appropriate method is automatically selected by the player according to the movement of the images on the screen.

If the movement on the screen is slow, the frame-based conversion method borrows adjacent frame information to fill in the missing infommtion.

If the movement on the screen is rapid, the field-based conversion method creates the missing information by predicting the movement of the images on the screen from field to field. The end result is an image that is higher in quality when compared to the

Interlace format.

interlace pictures per second are increased second,

Progressive

which is the speed at which

This player solves this problem by increasing the speed at which the frames are displayed, consecutively showing 3 identical frames followed by 2 identical frames in the time that it normally takes to show 2 consecutive frames. The end result is that the 24 frames video to 60 frames per signals are shown.

Converted progressive pictures

This not only allows film to be shown in a frame based format, it also increases the clarity and sharpness which is unique to

Progressive format images.

Progressive format (page 87)

(ompared to the Interlace format that alternately shows ever?- other line of an image

(field) to create one frame, the Progressive

IBnnat shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the

Interlace format can show 30 frames (60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and stil!

images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

• Super Audio (D + CD (Hybrid disc)

This disc consists of an HD layer and a (D layer. Also, as the dnal layers are on one side only, you do not have to turn the disc over dnring playback.

You can play the CD layer using a conventional CD player.

HD layer

Scene (page 10)

On a VIDEO (D with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "scenes."

Super Audio CD (page 6)

A Snper Audio (D disc can reproduce sounds that are extremely faithfifl to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology.

This technology utilizes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is

64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a standard PCM forlnat CD can hold. Super

Audio CDs are divided into the lbllowing types.

• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)

This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
