Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right) and 1center

speaker. The "0.1 channel" (+1) 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.

You can enjoy the VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)

system using the DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) method

that Sony developed. The VES system realize surround

sound only with front speakers. For details on the VES

mode, see page 32.

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 same distance from the

listening position.

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

possible.

Note

Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the

listening position than the front speakers.

Notes

•Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the

I/_ (POWER) button before completing all connections.

• The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the iacks.

• No sounds will come out from the LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2)

and PHONES connectors.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a

built-in DTS decoder, do not set "DTS" in "DIGITAL OUT" to

"ON" in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS

sound track, aloud noise will come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• When you set "DTS" in "AUDIO SETUP" to "OFE" no sound

will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and

COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on

DVDs.

• The DTS indicator on the front panel display lights up when

you play DTS sound tracks.

Select "SPEAKER SETUP" after pressing SET UP.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify

the size of speakers you have connected and their distance

from your listening position, then set the balance and

level. Then use the test tone to adjust the speaker

volumes to the same level.

For the speaker hook ups, see pages 12 to 13.

Glossary

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 is, the larger the

amount of data. However, this does not always mean that

you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter (page S)

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 32)

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 comfort 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 Surround) 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, 29)

Digital audio compression technology 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 channel data is

recorded discrete and processed in digital.

Dolby Pro Logic (page 32, 49)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby

Laboratories Corporation developed for surround sound.

When the input signal has the surround component, the

Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear

signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 50)

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 quality digital audio found in DTS 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 7times that of a CD.

Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-

sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided

DVD 9.4 GB, and a dua!-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, multilingnal, and Parental Control functions

are provided with the DVD.

Multi-angle function (page 31)

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

scene are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (page 14, 30, 44)

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture

are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 46)

Afunction of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the

age of the users according to the limitation leve] 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 functions, and so on.

Title (page 5)

The longest sections 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 an 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 amusic 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 Iformat, 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.
