Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD  
• 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 “OFF” 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 34.) 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.

The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the  
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No  
sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT 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, a loud 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 “OFF,” no sound  
will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and  
COAXIAL connectors even if you play DTS sound tracks on  
DVDs.

2) connectors according to the audio equipment to be  
connected.  
• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation. Normally select  
this position.  
• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound  
distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound  
from the built-in TV speakers is distorted.  
• Depending on the DVD, the information stored in the disc  
takes priority over the Playback Memory settings and the  
function does not work.  
• Do not turn off the player by pressing !. Doing so may cancel  
the settings. 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,

OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.  
• OFF : No priority given.

x AUDIO DRC (Dyn a m ic Ra n g e Co n t ro l) (DVD  
o n ly)  
Notes  
Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down  
when playing a DVD. This function works only when  
you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function.  
This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors  
only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in  
”DIGITAL OUT,” and it affects the output from the  
AUDIO OUT (1, 2) connectors.  
• STANDARD: Normally select this position.  
• TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn  
the volume down. It is especially recommended when  
you listen to the sound using the speakers of the TV.  
• WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live  
performance. This function works only when you are  
playing a Dolby Digital disc. When you use high  
quality speakers, it is more effective.  
• When you set this item to “AUTO,” the language may change  
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.”  
The “TRACK SELECTION“ setting has higher priority than the  
“AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 51).  
• If you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” the DTS sound  
track is not played even if you set this item to “AUTO” and the  
highest-numbered audio channel is recorded in DTS format.  
• If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks have the same  
number of channels, the player selects PCM, DTS and Dolby  
Digital sound tracks in this order.  
• Depending on the DVD, the audio channel with priority may  
be predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the  
DTS or Dolby Digital format by selecting “AUTO.”  
Note  
When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there  
may be no effect on the sound.

COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital  
connecting cord. For connection details, see pages 10 and

track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the  
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to  
be damaged.  
Notes  
• When you play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling  
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT  
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors are converted to 48 kHz  
(sampling frequency). The analog audio signals from the  
AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and  
keep their original sampling frequency level.  
• When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL”  
and “DTS.”  
Note  
When you select “D-PCM,” set Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES)  
to “OFF.” Otherwise, the player will not output signals from the  
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.

Bit ra t e (p a g e 39)  
DVD (p a g e 4)  
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.  
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.  
Ch a p t e r (p a g e 5)  
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.  
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.  
Dig it a l Cin e m a So u n d (DCS) (p a g e 37)  
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.  
The general name of technology that Sony developed to  
enjoy surround sound in a home. It simulates the sound  
of a movie editing studio instead of the usual concert hall  
so that you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie  
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.  
Mu lt i-a n g le fu n ct io n (p a g e 36)  
Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video  
camera) are recorded on some DVDs.  
Mu lt ilin g u a l fu n ct io n (p a g e s 14, 36, 51)  
Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a  
picture are recorded on some DVDs.  
Do lb y Dig it a l (p a g e s 10, 57)  
Digital audio compression technology developed by  
Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel 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.  
Pa re n t a l Co n t ro l (p a g e 53)  
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.  
Do lb y Pro Lo g ic (p a g e 57)  
Pla yb a ck Co n t ro l (PBC) (p a g e 20)  
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.  
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.  
DTS (p a g e s 12, 58)  
Tit le (p a g e 5)  
Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater  
Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel 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.  
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.

Tra ck (p a g e 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 (p a g e 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.
