TV Virtual Surround Settings (TVS)

When you connec t a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create v irtual rear speakers from the sound of th e front speakers (L : left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo TV. This only works when playing a multichannel Dolby audi o s ound track. Futhermore, if the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 71).

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio comp ression technology th at satisfies the IS O/MPEG r egul atio ns. JP EG is image compression technology.

DATA CDs that the player can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/ CD-Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

Note on Multi Session discs

If MP3 audio track s or JPEG image files are recorded in the first session, the player will also play MP3 audi o tr acks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in Music CD fo rmat or Video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session wi l l be played back.

Notes

• T he play er will play any data with the extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may generate a loud noise which could dam a ge your speaker system.

• T he play er doe s not conform to audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

Album (page 51, 53)

A unit in which to store JPEG image files or MP3 audio tracks on a DATA CD. (“Album” is an exclusive de fi nition for this player. )

Chapter (page 9)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller t ha n titles. A title is co m posed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page19, 71)

Digital audio com pression technology developed by Dolb y Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround soun d. The rear channel is st ereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Di gi t al” theatre surrou nd sound systems. G o od channel separa tion is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 19)

Audio signal proc essing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front , cen tre an d rea r sign als. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 19, 71)

Digital audio com pression technology t hat Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround soun d. The rear channel is st ereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high qual i ty digital audio. Good channel sep ar at i on i s r ealized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data proc essing is digital.

DVD VIDEO (page6)

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 singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double -l ayer and double-sid ed DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses th e MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (avera ge) 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 re corded in a multi-channel format, such as Dol by Dig ita l, allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided w i th the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

File (page 51, 54)

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD (“File” is an exclusive definition for this player.) A single fi l e consist of a single image.

Film based software, Video based software (page 68)

DVDs can be clas si f ied as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that ar e sh ow n at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-co m s, di splays images at 30 frames/60 fields (24 fra mes/50 fields) per second.

MPEG audio (page 19, 71)

International standard codin g system used to compress aud i o di gi t al signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up t o 7. 1-channel surrou nd.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 72)

Normal (Interlace ) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field s hows the even numbered l ines of a n image, an d the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive format (page 17)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternatel y shows every ot her line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows th e entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Prog ressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality in crea ses and still images, text, and horizontal lines app ear sharper. This player is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. Th ey are diff erent fr om other J PEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from top to bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image while it is being downloaded.

Page 77

Scene (page 9)

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pi ct ur es are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Title (page 9)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or th e entire album in aud i o software.

Track (page 9)

Sections of a pictur e or a m u s ic feature on a VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (the length o f a song). (“Track ” i n DATA-CD is an exclusive defin it i on f or this player.)

Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page 12)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded.
