,continued

Page 20

◆PROGRESSIVE AUTO

Select th is setting when: –your TV accepts prog ressive signals, and , –the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion m et hod. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.

◆PROGRESSIVE VIDEO

Select th is setting when: –your TV accepts prog ressive signals, and , –the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and –you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software. Select this if the image is not c lear when you selec t PROGRESSIVE AU TO. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met.

◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)

Select th is setting when: – your TV does not acc ept progressive signals, or, – your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).

◆About DVD software types and the conv er si on method

DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video based software. Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fiel ds per second. Film -based software is de ri ved from film and dis pl ays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for the se images to appear natural on your scr een when output in pr ogressive form at, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Notes

• When you pl ay video- ba se d sof twa re in prog ressive signal format, sections of some ty pes of ima ge s ma y appear unnatural due to the conversion process whe n output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from th e S VIDE O OUT and L INE OUT (VI DEO) ja cks are un affect ed as t hey a re ou tput i n the normal (interlace) format.

• If y ou s e t “LINE” in “SCR E E N SETUP” to “RGB,” then the pl ayer switches t o “N ORMAL (INTERLACE).” This will happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO.”

To cancel the setting

Select “OFF” in step 2.

For 2 speaker setups

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. If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “ D -PCM” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 86).

◆TVS DYNAMIC

Creates one set of virtual rear speake rs from the sound of the front speakers ( L, R) without using actual rear speakers (sho w n below). This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with buil t-i n sp eak er s on a st ere o TV .

◆TVS WIDE

Creates five sets of virtual re ar speakers from the sound of the front speakers ( L, R) without using actual rear speakers (sho w n below). This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with buil t-i n sp eak er s on a st ere o TV .

Page 55

◆TVS NIGHT

Large sounds, su ch as explosions, are suppressed , but quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful whe n you want to hear the dialogue and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volu me.

◆TVS STANDARD

Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R) as shown below. This mode is effective when you use 2 separ at e front speakers.

L R

◆NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to crea t e surround effects. T he rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a centre speaker, the appropriate so unds for the ce ntre spea ker will be delivered.

◆ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pr o Logic) source with a monaural rear cha nnel signal. Produces a stereo like effec t i n th e rear channels.

For 4 to 6 speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. Connect the player to t he ampl ifie r (rec eiver) with the con ne ction (page 26). You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digita l Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from th e actual speak er posit ion or cr eate en tire s ets of virtual rear spe akers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SH IFT,” “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make use of this technology.

Notes

• When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” function in th e same way.

• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the

5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, corre ctly set eac h speaker position and distance (pag e 26, 87).

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, you cannot hear th e TVS effect.

• When you sele ct one of the TVS modes, the player does not output the sound of centr e speaker.

• Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS” to “DTS,” and “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the SURROUND effect.

About DivX Video Files

DivX® is a video file compression technology, developed by DivXNetwo rk s, Inc. This prod uct is an official DivX certified product . You can play DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that contain DivX video files.

DATA CDs and DATA DVDs that the player can play

Playback of DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/ CD-RWs) and DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs) on this player is subject t o certain conditions: –With DATA CDs that contain D i vX vi de o

files in addition to MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files, the playe r pl a ys only th e DivX video files.

–With DATA DVDs, the player plays DivX

video files only. Any data other than Div X video file, such as MP 3 audio tracks and JPEG image files, are not pl ayed.

However, this play er onl y plays DATA CDs whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF). You can also play DATA CDs recorded in Multi Session (page 62), although DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session are not playable. Refer to the instructions supplied with the disc drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.

DivX video files that the player can play

The player can play data that is recorded in DivX format, and which has the extension “.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The player will not play files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if they do not contain a D i vX video.

z Hint

For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files on DATA CDs, see “DATA CDs that the player can play” (page 62).

Notes

• The player may not pla y a Div X vide o file when the file has been c om b ined from two or more DivX video files.

• The player can not pl ay a D ivX video file of size more than 720 (width) × 576 (height)/2 GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may be unclear or the sound may skip.

• The player cannot play some DivX video files that are longer than 3 hours.

About playback order of data on DATA CDs or DATA DVDs

See “About playback order of albums, tracks and files” (page 62). Note that the playback order may not be app licable, depending on the softwar e used fo r crea ting th e DivX vi deo file, or if there are more than 2 00 albums and 600 DivX video files in each album.

Note

Digital audio com pression technology t hat Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discret el y and little deterioration is rea liz ed beca u se all channel data proc essing is digital.

DVD VIDEO (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures ev en though its diame ter 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-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard 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 accor di ng to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolb y Digital, allowing you to en jo y a m o r e r ealistic audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced fu nctions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Cont rol functions are provid ed with the DVD.

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD or a DivX video on a DATA CD/DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive definition for this player.) A single file consist of a single image or movie.

Progressive format (page 19)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every ot her line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at onc e as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace form at can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in on e second, the Progress iv e format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increa ses a nd still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 525 or 625 progre ssive format.

Film based software, Video based software (page 19)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same im ages (24 frames per second) that are sh ow n at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 fiel ds (24 frames/50 fields) per second.

MPEG audio (page 21, 86)

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

Normal (Interlace) format (page 19)

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displayin g images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. Th ey are di fferen t from oth er JPEGs in that they “fade in ” gradually instead of being drawn from t op t o bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image while it is being downloaded.
