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.

Notes

• Each item of "VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND" (except "NORMAL SURROUND" and "ENHANCED SURROUND") is effective on onlv discs on which a multi-channel soundtrack is recorded. Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you cannot get the 3D surround effect.

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

• When the playing signal does not contain the surround component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select "VESA" or "VESB."

• If you connect the front speakers only, "NORMAL SURROUND," "ENHANCED SURROUND," "VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT" and "VIRTUAL MULTI REAR" cannot be selected.

• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including the listening posihon, or the effects mav be difficult to hear even if vou select "VES A" or "VES B."

• When you select "VES A" or "VES B," the player outputs the audio signal from LINE OUT, DIGHAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) or 5.1CH OUTPUT FRONT connectors. Incase of the signal from DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL), however, the surround effect will be heard only when you play DVD or VIDEO CD with "DOLBY DIGHAL" in "AUDIO SETUP"set to "D-PCM."

• When vou plav sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequenc)’, be sure to select "OFF," or the output signals will be converted to 48 kHz (sampling trequenev).

Bit rate (page 41)

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is

1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger Ae amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter (page 5)

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 34)

The general name of technology that Sony developed to enjoy the surround sound in a home. To enjoy the surround sound of a movie theater in the conafort of your own home, it simulates the sound not in a concert hall as usual but in a movie editing studio. This player adopts VES (Virtual Enhanced Suiroimd) system from various

DCS programs. The VES system can create the sound image of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) (page 12, 34)

Digital audio compression technolog}' that'the Dolby Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology

conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is 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. The good channel separation is realized because the all charmel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.

Dolby Pro Logic (page 34, 57)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories Corporation developed for surround sound. When the input signal has the surroimd component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear

signals. The rear charmel is monaural.

DTS (page 11)

Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this

format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quahty digital audio foxmd in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. The good channel separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete 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, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and singlesided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided

DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 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 the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture.

The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

Multi-angle function (page 33)

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a

scene are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (page 14, 32, 50)

Several languages for the soimd or sub-htles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 53)

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the

age of the users according to the limitahon level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC) (page 20)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search fimctions, and so on.

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.

This player conforms tb both'versions.
