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 amplif ication system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ 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 51).

•Do not play DTS sound tracks without first

connecting the play er to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) jacks even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 74), 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 thr ough

the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) jacks.

•If you connect the player to audio

equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 74). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be dam aged.

•When you play a DVD with DTS sound

tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 73).

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 (shown 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 sho r t, 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.

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect only 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surr ound) lets you enjoy surround sound effect s by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: le ft, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the fo llowing modes:

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround ef fec t w ill be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 74).

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

The large sound s, suc h a s ex pl os ions , ar e compressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you don’t want to dis tur b ot her peopl e but sti ll w ant to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.

TVS (TV Virtual Surrou n d) STAN DARD

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. Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers and retain the sound quality .

L : Front speaker (left) R : Front speaker (right)

: Virtual speaker

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. Connect the player to the receiver with the

B-1

connection (page 23). You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”

“VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make

use of this technology.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a centre speaker, Dolby Su rround (Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the centre speaker.

L R

RSLS

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses sound imaging to shift the sound o f th e rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift position differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 76).

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION

Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speaker positions higher than the listener from a single pair of actual rear speakers. This mode creates five sets of virtual speakers surrounding the liste ner at approximately a 30° angle of elev ation. The effect diff er s ac c o rding to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 76).

You can select SURROUND directly by pressing

SURROUND on the player. Each time you press the button, the item changes. If you select any setting other than “OFF,” the indicator on the player lights up.

Notes

• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH

OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker position and distance. For detai ls on setti ng each speaker , see page 76.

• When you select an ite m, the sound cuts off for a

moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for

the rear speakers (page 52), the surround effects may be difficult to hear.

• When you select “TVS DYNAMIC,” “TVS WIDE, ”

“TVS NIGHT” or “TVS STANDARD,” the player

does not output the sound from the centre speaker.

• When you select one of the SURROUND modes,

turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

• If the player is set up to output the signal from the

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will not be heard when you play a CD.

• 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 (OPTICAL or

COAXIAL) jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come from your

speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.
