5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

¢)

e,p

_,j.

¢k

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 fur the 2 front speakers (Left and

Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofen

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 39.

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 pla©ement

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.

When connecting the cords, be sure to match the color-coded

cord to the appropriate jacks on the components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to White. Be sure to make connections firmly

to avoid hum and noise.

Do not connect the mains lead to a switched mains such as the mains on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so may cause

the Playback Memory, Bookmark, Disc Memo and menu settings to be cancelled when you turn off the receiver.

Notes

• Do not connect the mains lead to the mains or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.

• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be

connected.

• The cord connectors should he tully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• If you want to connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 10.

Setups for the player

Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected.

Use the setup display to change the various settings.

For details on using the setup display, see page 56.

• To enjoy surround sounds by connecting the player

to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs

Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position

(page 67).

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 aa 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 "D-PCM" 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 35.) If you set

the sound to "l/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.
