• Do not place the player in a vertical position without attaching the jack cover for vertical installation. If you do not attach it, the player will be uns ta ble and may fall over.

When you install the player on the wall

When you install the pla y er o n the wal l, ask a qualified in st alle r to d o th e jo b. The player should be installed in the following way. Attach the jack cover as in the same way for the horizontal installation. Fasten screws (not supplied) to the wall at the same height 3 1/4 in. (80 mm) apart. The screws should protrude by 3/16 to 7/32 in. (4 to 5 mm). Remove the seals covering the hangi ng holes. Hang the player on the scre ws. Push the player tightly against the wall.

Notes on playing DTS sound tr acks on a CD

• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo jacks of the player are connected to an amplification system. To

enjoy DTS Digital Surr ound™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 51).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without fi rst connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 73), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

• DTS audio sig nal s are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.

• If you connect the player to au d i o equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 73). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 73).

Notes

• When you insert an 8-cm (3-inch) disc, inse r t the disc slowly at the center of the disc slot. If you cannot eject the disc, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• No adaptor is required in order to play 8-cm (3-inch) discs on this player. If an adapter is used, damage to the player may resu lt; therefore, never use an ad apter when playing 8-cm (3-inch) discs.

Settings (TVS)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TV Virtual Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effect s by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. This function is designed to work with the AUDIO OUT L/R jacks. Note that if you select one of the TVS settings while playing a DVD, the player does not output the Dolby Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DPCM”) (page 68).

SURROUND

1 Press SURROUND during playback.

The Control Bar is displayed.

TVS DYNAMIC

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual re ar speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as sho wn in the illustration below. The sound imaging effect is distinct and clearly reproduces each aural element of the audio tr ack. This mode is effective when the dist ance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual re ar speakers.

This mode is effective when the dist ance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS NIGHT

The large sounds, s uch as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you don’t want to disturb other people but still want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE.”

TVS STANDARD

•“TVS NIGHT” only works with Dolby Digital discs. However, not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” function in the same way.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.

Notes

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 52), th e surround effects may be difficult to hear.

• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the surround setting of the connect ed TV or ampl if ie r (receiver).

5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is re alized because all of the channel dat a are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logi c ) (page 71)

Audio signal proc es si n g te ch no lo gy that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround componen t, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center, and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

The rear channel is st ereo 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 little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

DVD (page 7)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of mo vin g pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.

The data capacity of a double-layer and sin gle-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided 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 Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio p resence. Furthermore, var io us advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control function s are prov ided with the DVD.
