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 39.

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.

Note

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

Audio cords (not supplied) (2)

For the 5.1CH OUTPUT FRONT and REAR jacks

Monaural audio cords (not supplied) (2)

For 5.1CH OUTPUT CENTER and WOOFER jacks.

S video cord (supplied) (1)

For the S VIDEO OUT jack

When connecting the cords, be sure to match the color-coded
cord to the appropriate jacks on the components: Red (right) to
Red and White (left) to White. Be sure to make connections firmly
to avoid hum and noise.

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.

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 56.

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 “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 35.)  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 60.)

• 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.
