5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

o №

;; A Q.

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels

recorded in Dolby* Digital (AC-3) format. Using a

receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and the 5

(+1) speakers, you can enjoy more real audio presence in the comfort of your own home. ».

"5 channel" stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right) and 1 center speaker. The "01 channel" (-i-l) stands for the subwoofer which outputs the bass. Even if you have fewer than 5 (+1) speakers, the player

distributes the output signal to the speakers appropriately. This player has VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use the 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker posihon

(VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear

speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 34.

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.

• All speakers should be the sarrie distance from the hsterung position.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the POWER switch before completing aU connections.

• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• Jacks and plugs of the connectmg cords are color-coded as follows:

Red jacks and plugs: Right audio channel White jacks and plugs: Left audio channel You can use either red or white cables to connect the center speaker and subwoofer.

• When you connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an ophcal or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 11.

Setups for the player

Some setups are necessary for the player depending on

the components to be connected.

Use the setup display or the Control Menu display to change the various settings. For details on usmg the setup display, see page 47. For details on enjoying Digital Cinema Sound, see page

34.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound by

connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with

5.1 ch inputs

Set each speaker position or distance, etc. See page 58.

Note

Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.
