Notes on playing DTS sound tracks 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 Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jacks of the player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 49).

• 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 via the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 68), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 68). 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 68).

Changing the Sound

If the DVD is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can select the language you want while playing the DVD. If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS), you can select the audio format you want while playing the DVD. With stereo 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 its stereo effect.) For example, when playing a disc containing a song with the vocals on the right channel and the instruments on the left channel, you can select the left channel and hear the instruments from both speakers.

About audio signals

Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the sound elements (channels) shown below. Each channel is output from a separate speaker.

• Front (L)

• Front (R)

• Center

• Rear (L)

• Rear (R)

• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either

the Dolby Surround Sound processed signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s monaural rear audio signals.

Note

If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP,” the DTS track selection option will not appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS tracks (page 68).

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TV Virtual Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects 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 LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 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 (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”) (page 68).

SURROUND

1 Press SURROUND during playback.

The Control Bar is displayed.

2 Press SURROUND repeatedly to

select one of the TVS (TV Virtual Surround) sounds.

Refer to the explanations given for each item.

• TVS DYNAMIC

• TVS WIDE

• TVS NIGHT

• TVS STANDARD

To reset the TVS setting

In Step 2, select “OFF.”

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) DYNAMIC

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

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. This gives the sound an expanded effect that fills the area surrounding the listener. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

The large sounds, such 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 (TV Virtual Surround) STANDARD

L: Left front speaker R: Right front speaker

: Virtual speakers

If you select any TVS setting other than “OFF,”

the indicator on the player lights up.

Notes

• When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a moment.

• When the playi ng signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 49), the surround effects may be difficult to hear.

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

• 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. Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern.

• 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 (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack, sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.

Glossary

Chapter (page 10)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 20, 67)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a 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. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 67)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center, and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 20, 67)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo 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 moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided 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 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 presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
