5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Getting Started

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS 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 36.

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.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet 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 51.

• To enjoy surround sounds by connecting the player

to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs

Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position (page 62).

Note

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

• 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 “D-PCM” 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 32.) 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.

Notes

• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. It will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15 minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 55.)

• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player by pressing !. Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then press @/1 on the remote. After the power indicator lights up in red and the player enters standby mode, press ! on the player.

• If you connect only 2 front speakers, you can only use “VES TV,” “VES A,” “VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.” If you connect more speakers, we recommend that you select an item other than those above.

• To enjoy the original Dolby Digital sound through the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors, correctly set each speaker position and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see page 62.

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 “DTS” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for the stereo sound of a CD or the Dolby Digital and DTS sounds 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.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) A

Uses 3D 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.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) B

L R

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 center speaker, Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the center speaker.

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use 3D 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 1 set of actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes: NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND, VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.

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

Notes

• When you press VIRTUAL SURROUND HEADPHONES on the player, the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode turns off and vice versa.

• If the player is set up to output the signal from DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) and you are using your receiver’s headphones, the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” and “DTS” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

Notes

• 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.

Bit rate (page 39)

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, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.

theater in the comfort of your own home. The VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) system contained in DCS programs 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 (pages 12, 61)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a 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. 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.

Multi-angle function (page 35)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (pages 15, 34, 54)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 57)

A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc according to the age of the user and the limitation 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.

Dolby Pro Logic (pages 36, 61)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (pages 12, 62)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1channel surround. 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.

Playback Control (PBC) (page 22)

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

Title (page 5)

The longest section of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

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.

This player conforms to both versions.
