5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started
Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG audio format. Using a receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and 6 speakers, you can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of your own home. “5.1 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofer. Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal to the speakers. This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position (VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 34.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down to
5.1 channels.
Speaker placement
For the best possible surround sound, we recommend the following conditions.
• Use higher performance speakers.
• Use rear and center speakers that match your front speakers in size and performance.
• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.
When connecting the cords, be sure to match the color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.
Do not connect the mains lead to a switched mains such as the mains on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so may cause the Playback Memory and menu settings to be cancelled when you turn off the receiver.
Notes
• Do not connect the mains lead to the mains or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.
• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.
• If you want to connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 10.
Setups for the player
Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected. Use the setup display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 46.
• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound by
connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with
5.1 channel inputs
Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position (page 59).
Note
Do not place the rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• 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 OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the setup display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 30.) If you set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

For 2 speaker setups
When you connect only 2 front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes: VES TV, VES A, VES B, VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION. If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connector, the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” and “MPEG” to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”
OFF
Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital and MPEG audio sound of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, the 3D surround effects may be difficult to hear.
• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. However, when you select “VES TV,” “VES A,” ”VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.
• When you select one of the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND modes, set the surround setting of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to OFF.
• The sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.
• If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors, the surround effect will not be heard when you play a CD.
• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with the listening position at the top. Otherwise the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A,” ”VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.”
• When you connect 4 speakers, the surround effect will not be heard if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors.

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 processed in digital.
DVD (page 4)
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 dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a dual-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 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 data 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.
MPEG audio (page 11)

Track (page 5)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to locate the track you want.
VIDEO CD (page 4)
A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs. There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
