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 even if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 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 52.) If you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will come out.

• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, 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 only when you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” 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 “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and 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. To make the screen saver image go away, press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 83.)

• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player. Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then press POWER.

• The power is automatically turned off whenever, – a disc is not being played. – you do not operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes.

Digital Cinema Sound Settings

Select a mode to enjoy multichannel surround sound such as Dolby Digital and MPEG. Even if you connect only a stereo TV or front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES) 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.

The surround sound signals are output when you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.

When you select a surround mode, the player does not output the following signals when you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord.

• Dolby Digital signals (when you select “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM”)

This affects the output when: – you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord – you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord

(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “DIGITAL OUT”)

•

DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2 channels.

• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio component that does not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The signal without the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are output.

Setting the digital output signal (DIGITAL OUT)

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD using an optical digital connecting cord. For connection details, see pages 17 and 20.

Note

When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals are converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). When you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz and the output signals are converted to analog signals.

x DOLBY DIGITAL

Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output when you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord.

• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in “AUDIO SETUP.”

• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
