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 even
if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 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 52.) If you have made the connections using an
optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/ L” or “2/ R,” no sound will
come out.
If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD
with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the
connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when
you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.
•
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 “AUDIO SETUP” 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 “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if
you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play
DTS sound tracks on DVDs.

If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the
screen saver image appears automatically. To make the screen saver image go away,

the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then
press POWER.
The power is automatically turned off whenever,
– a disc is not being played.

x AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
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 when:
– you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord
– you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord
(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” and “MPEG” to “PCM” in
“DIGITAL OUT”)
• 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.
When you use high quality speakers, it is more effective.
Note
When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there may be no effect on
the sound.

For details on the rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio
information of the disc” (page 53).
This affects the output when:
– you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord
– you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord
(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “DIGITAL OUT”)
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio
component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The output
signals which reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed
down to 2 channels.
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio component that does
not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The signal without the Dolby
Surround (Pro Logic) effect are output.
Se t t in g t h e d ig it a l o u t p u t sig n a l (DIGITAL OUT)
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1.
a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital
connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby
Digital, MPEG or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD using an optical digital
connecting cord. For connection details, see pages 17 and 20.
Note
When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and
play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals are converted
to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). When you have made the connections using an
audio connecting cord, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz and the output signals are
converted to analog signals.
x DOLBY DIGITAL
Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output when you have made the
connections using an optical digital connecting cord.
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the
output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select
whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by
making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in “AUDIO SETUP.”
• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component
with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby
Digital decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the Dolby
Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Bit rate (page 62)
Dolby Pro Logic (page 91)
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.
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 (page 8, 92)
Chapter (page 7)
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.
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 58)
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.
DVD (page 6)
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.
Dolby Digital (pages 20, 92)
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

functions such as the multi-angle,
multilingual, and Parental Control
functions are provided with the DVD.
MPEG audio (page 92)
Track (page 7)
International standard coding system
used to compress audio digital signals
authorized by ISO/ IEC. MPEG 1
conforms to up to 2-channel stereo.
MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms to up
to 7.1-channel surround.
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 6)
Multi-angle function (page 56)
A compact disc that contains moving
pictures.
Various angles for the scene (viewpoints
of the video camera) are recorded on
some DVDs.
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.
Multilingual function (pages 26, 55, 79)
Several languages for the audio track or
sub-titles in a picture are recorded on
some DVDs.
Parental Control (page 84)
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.
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.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
Playback Control (PBC) (page 37)
• Version 2.0: You can play high-
resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC
functions.
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.
This player conforms to both versions.
