5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started

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 the 5 (+1) speakers, you can enjoy more real audio presence in the comfort of your own home. “5 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right) and 1 center speaker. The “0.1 channel” (+1) stands for the subwoofer which outputs the bass. Even if you have fewer than 5 (+1) speakers, the player distributes the output signal to the speakers appropriately. This player has VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use the 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). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 48.

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.

• All speakers should be the same distance from the listening position.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.

• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• Jacks and plugs of the connecting cords are color-coded as follows: Red jacks and plugs: Right audio channel White jacks and plugs: Left audio channel You can use either red or white cables to connect the center speaker and subwoofer.

• When you connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 11.

Setups for the player

Some setups are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected. Use the setup display or the Control Menu display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 55. For details on enjoying Digital Cinema Sound, see page

48.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound by

connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with

5.1 channel inputs

Set each speaker position or distance, etc. See page 65.

Note

Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

Using Various Functions with the Control Menu

Select the mode to enjoy multi channel surround sound such as Dolby Digital. Even if you connect only front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, 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). You can feel the more effective 3D sound when you connect a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs, 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 center speaker and 1 subwoofer. Select “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND” after pressing DISPLAY twice. When you select the item except “OFF,” the indicator of the “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND “ lights in green.

Note

To enjoy the original Dolby Digital sound through the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors, set each speaker position or distance, etc. For details on setting each speaker, see page 65.

Note

The items displayed are different depending on the settings of “SPEAKER SETUP” (page 65). You can select only “OFF,” “VES A” or “VES B” when you play back a disc and set “NONE” in “REAR” in “SIZE” under “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display.

Notes

• Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you cannot get the 3D surround effect.

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain the surround component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A” or ”VES B.”

• If you connect the front speakers only, “NORMAL SURROUND,” ”ENHANCED SURROUND,” ”VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT” and “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR” cannot be selected.

• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A” or “VES B.”

• In case that the player outputs the signal from DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL), the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

• When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequency, be sure to select “OFF,” or the output signals will be converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). (Except when the player outputs the audio signal from DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL).)

• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.

• When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” set the surround settings of the connected units such as the amplifier to OFF.

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, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and singlesided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 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 the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy 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 40)

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.

Dolby Digital (pages 12, 48)

Digital audio compression technology that the Dolby Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is 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. The good channel separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.

Dolby Pro Logic (pages 48, 64)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories Corporation developed for surround sound. When the input signal has the surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (pages 5, 11, 65)

Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.

Multilingual function (pages 14, 40, 58)

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

Parental Control (page 60)

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to 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)

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.
