5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby* Digital or MPEG AUDIO 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 34.

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 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 59. For details on enjoying Digital Cinema Sound, see page

34.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital or MPEG AUDIO surr ound

sound by connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 ch inputs

Set each speaker position or distance, etc. See page 71.

To enjoy Dolby Digital Surround, turn off the karaoke mode. For details, see “Setting the player to karaoke mode” on page 49.

Note

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

With multiplex CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the sound from the right or left channel and listen to the sound of the selected channel through both the right and left speakers. In this case, the sound loses the stereo effect. For example, with a disc containing a song, the right channel may output the vocals and the left channel may output the instrumental. If you only want to hear the instrumental, you can select the left channel and hear it from both speakers. Select “AUDIO” after pressing DISPLAY.

Setting for Digital Cinema Sound Z

Select the mode to enjoy multi channel surround sound such as Dolby Digital and MPEG. 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. When you select the item except “OFF,” the indicator of the “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND “ lights in green.

Glossary

Bit rate (page 41)

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter (page 5)

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 34)

The general name of technology that Sony developed to enjoy the surround sound in a home. To enjoy the surround sound of a movie theater in the comfort of your own home, it simulates the sound not in a concert hall as usual but in a movie editing studio. This player adopts VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) system from various DCS programs. The VES system can create the sound image of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.

Additional Information

Dolby Digital (page 12, 34)

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 (page 34, 69)

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.

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.

MPEG AUDIO (page 34)

International standard coding system to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Multi-angle function (page 33)

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

Multilingual function (page 14, 33, 62)

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

Parental Control (page 65)

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.

DTS (page 11)

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.

Playback Control (PBC) (page 20)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on.

Page 81

Title (page 5)

The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Track (page 5)

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. There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.

• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and

sounds.

• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures

and enjoy PBC functions.

This player conforms to both versions.
