Speaker setup

We recommend you to set up a multi-speaker system to enjoy the 5.1 channel surround sound of sources encoded with Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS.

m Speaker configuration

The most recommended speaker configuration is the 6 speaker configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 effect speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer. The main speakers are used for the main source sound. The effect speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system and low frequency effect sounds of the subwooferchannel.

For China and General models only

This unit is designed to output signals of 5.1 channels efficiently according to your speaker system if you cannot set up a full 6 speaker configuration. It depends on the setting of “3 Speaker” on the SET UP menu. Refer to pages 62 to 63 for details. However, this setting is effective only on audio signals output from the 6CH DISCRETE terminals.

m Placing speakers

Main speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the

same height as the TV.

Effect speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.

(To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Connections

When you connect this unit to an AV amplifier or receiver equipped with a Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, connect this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal to the amplifier’s optical (or coaxial) digital signal input terminal.

* If the amplifier and Dolby Digital (or MPEG or DTS) decoder

are separated, connect this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal to the decoder’s optical (or coaxial) digital signal input terminal.

* When you use the Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, be

sure to use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu of this unit to select the “Disc Original” mode for “Dolby Digital”, “MPEG” or “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)

Also, connect this unit’s MIXED 2CH AUDIO OUT terminals to the amplifier’s analog signal input terminals regardless of making the digital terminal connection. This is necessary for playing back a source in 2 channel stereo or with Dolby Pro Logic decoded.

A digital terminal connection is necessary between this unit and the amplifier (or decoder) for sending the playback signals of a source encoded with Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS to the amplifier (or decoder). This connection allows you to enjoy a theater-like surround sound in your home.

Caution: Plug in this unit and other components after all connections are completed.

All connections must be correct, observing the color coding of terminals between this unit and other components.

Notes on connecting to this unit’s OPTICAL terminal

●

Before using this terminal, remove the terminal’s cover by pulling it.

●

Make the connection from this terminal to the optical input terminal of an amplifier by using a commercially available optical fiber cable. * Use an optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ

standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

●

Be sure to attach the terminal’s cover when this terminal is not being used, in order to protect the terminal from dust.

When you connect this unit’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL terminal to the optical or coaxial digital input terminal of the amplifier which does not include a Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder

Use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu to select the “PCM” mode for “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG”, and select the “OFF” mode for “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)

Digital signal output from this unit

For a DVD disc only, the format of digital signal output from this unit can be selected by the setting of “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu. (See page 59.)

For your reference:

●

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

●

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder or your AV amplifier includes a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Dolby Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound tracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

●

Digital signal for linear PCM (48 kHz 20/24 bit) will be converted into 48 kHz 16 bit and will be output if a DVD you play back is formatted with code scramble system (copyright-protection).

2 Dynamic Range Control

(for China and General models only)

If you prefer, you can reduce dynamic range of sound source encoded with Dolby Digital. Dynamic range can be reduced in two steps with this unit.

Notes

●

The settings on this item are only applicable when playing back a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital.

●

The settings on this item are only effective when the “PCM” mode is selected for “Dolby Digital” of the item “1 Digital Output” on pages 59 and 60.

1 When the SET UP group “Audio Settings” is

selected, press or to select “2 Dynamic Range Control”, and then press SELECT.

2 Press or to select the preferred mode, and

then press SELECT.

1 Maximum

A source is played back in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this mode will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

2 Standard

A source is played back in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.

3 Minimum

Dynamic range is more reduced than in the “Standard” position. Selecting this mode will be effective when you must listen to a source in an extremely low level. * In this mode, it may happen that sound is output

faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select “Maximum” or “Standard”.

Dynamic range

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound.

Title

“Title” is a unit to divide the contents on a DVD disc. Normally, one title is assigned to one movie. When a disc has two or more titles, they are numbered in sequence as title 1, title 2, etc.

Chapter

A title on a DVD is subdivided into smaller divisions. They are refered as “chapters” and numbered in sequence. They are useful for quick location of the desired scene on a movie etc.

Track

Tunes (or pictures) recorded on a CD or Video CD are refered as “tracks”. Tracks are numbered in sequence as track 1, track 2, etc. They are useful for quick search for the desired tune (or picture).

Index

Some track on a Video CD or CD is subdivided into smaller divisions (such as, for example, the movements within classical symphonies) for easier location of those parts. They are refered as “indexes” and numbered in sequence.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital audio format which mainly provides high-quality multi-channel audio for sound tracks of movies. It provides us up to independent 6 channels compatible with the 6 speaker configuration: Left main, right main, center, left surround, right surround and subwoofer. It stores a large volume of digital sound signals (as data) into a laserdisc, DVD, etc. with a high level data-compression technology.

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is also a multi-channel digital audio format. It provides us up to 6 channels. DTS encodes high-quality, 20-bit audio onto laserdiscs, compact discs and DVDs with less data-compression.

Linear PCM

A basic digital audio format used in CDs. It is based on Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), an analog-to-digital conversion technology. No compression is applied to the data.

MPEG 1 audio

A digital audio format mainly used in Video CDs. It is based on the MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) 1 format, a data compression technology.

MPEG 2 audio

A digital audio format mainly used in Europe, Australia, etc. It provides us high-quality multi-channel audio up to 8 channels in the same way as Dolby Digital and DTS. It is based on the MPEG 2 format, a data compression technology improved more than MPEG 1.

Playback control

This function is recorded on a Video CD, version 2.0. Pictures, music and information you want to play back can be selected on a screen menu shown on the TV monitor.
