To enjoy DTS Digital Surr ound™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the player.

•Set the sound to “STEREO” using the

(audio) button when you play DTS

sound tracks on a CD (page 44).

•Do not p lay DTS sound tracks with out fi rst

connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 62), 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) jack.

•If yo u co nn ect the player to audio

equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 62). 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 62).

TVS (TV Virtual Sur round) DYNAMIC

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

TVS (TV Virtual Sur round) 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 sho wn 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 Surr ound) NIGHT

The large sounds, s uch 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

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear

speakers from the sound of the front speakers

(L/R) without using actual rear speakers. Th e

virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in

the illustration below. Use this setting when

you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers

and retain the sound quality .

L: Left front speaker R: Right front speaker

You can also change the TVS setting by pressing

SURROUND on the player. If you select any TVS

setting other than “OFF,” the indicator on the player

lights up.

Notes

• When you select an effec t, the sound cuts off for a

moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for

the rear speakers (page 45), 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 am plifier (receiver).

• Make sure that your lis te ning 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 disc e rn .

• TVS NIGHT only works with Dolby Digital and

MPEG audio discs. However, not all discs will respond to the TVS NIGHT function in the same way.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack and

set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come from your

speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.

Dolby Digital (page 24, 62)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is st ereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provid es the same

5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is re alized 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 22)

Audio signal proc es si n g te ch no lo gy that Dolby Laboratories developed for surr ound sound. When the input signal contains a surround componen t, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre, and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 24, 63)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is st ereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides 5.1 discrete channels of high qu al ity 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 6)

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 C D . The data capacity of a double-layer and sin g l e-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 p resence. Furthermore, var io us advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control function s are prov ided with the DVD.

Index (CD)/Video index (VIDEO CD) (page

MPEG audio (page 24, 62)

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

Parental Control (page 49)
