You can check the playing time and remaining time of the
current title/chapter/track and the total remaining time
of the disc.
You can search by inputting the time code.
You can check the DVD TEXT or CD TEXT of the disc on
the TV screen and the front panel display.

With DVDs recorded with multilingual sounds, you can
select the language you want while playing the DVD.
With multiplex CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the
sound from the right or left channel and listen to the
sound of the selected channel through both the right and
left speakers.

With DVDs on which multilingual subtitles are recorded,
you can change the subtitle language whenever you want
while playing the DVD, and turn it on or off whenever
you want.

With DVDs on which various angles (multi-angles) are
recorded, you can change the angles on the scene for
which multi-angles are recorded.

Select the 1 disc play mode or all discs play mode to set
Program Play, Shuffle Play and Repeat Play.

You can play the contents of the disc in the order you
want by arranging the order of the titles, chapters or
tracks on one disc or on all discs to create your own
program.

You can have the player “shuffle” titles, chapters or tracks
on one disc or on all discs, and play them in a random
order.  The playing order may differ from the previous
“shuffling.”

You can play all discs, all the titles/tracks on a disc, or a
single title/chapter/track repeatedly.

You can play a specific portion of a title, chapter, or track
repeatedly.

Select the mode to enjoy multichannel surround sound
such as Dolby Digital and MPEG.
Even if you connect only front speakers, Virtual Enhanced
Surround (VES) lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the
sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual
rear speakers.
When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers,
you can use the 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).
You can feel the more effective 3D sound when you
connect a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs, 2
front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 center speaker and 1
subwoofer.

You can make the picture clearer by reducing the picture
noise.

You can adjust the video output of the DVD or VIDEO CD
from the player, not from the TV, to obtain the picture
quality you want.

With DVDs on which various angles (multi-angles) for a
scene are recorded, you can display all the angles
recorded on the disc on the same screen, and start
playback in continuous mode at the chosen angle directly.

37

You can display 9 consecutive sections of the disc on the
screen. In this case, the sections show still images.

You can check the titles, chapters and tracks of the disc on
the screen divided in 9 sections, and start playback from
the chosen title, chapter or track.

You can have the player store specific portions of the disc
in memory and play them immediately whenever you
want without the need to search.

You can check the play information about the bit rate, bit
rate history or the position where the disc is played
(layer).

You can search by selecting the disc/title/chapter/track/

Select the mode to enjoy multichannel surround sound
such as Dolby Digital and MPEG.
Even if you connect only front speakers, Virtual Enhanced
Surround lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D sound
imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of
the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear
speakers.
When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers,
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).
You can feel the more effective 3D sound when you
connect a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs, 2
front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 center speaker and 1
subwoofer.
Select “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND” after pressing
DISPLAY twice.  When you select the item except “OFF,”
the indicator of the “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND “ lights in
green.

Note
To enjoy the original Dolby Digital sound through the 5.1CH
OUTPUT connectors, set each speaker position or distance, etc.
For details on setting each speaker, see page 69.

pVIRTUAL 3D SURROUND
Select the desired item.  For details on each item, see
“Effects of each item.”
Default setting is underlined.
• OFF
• VES A*
• VES B*
• NORMAL SURROUND
• ENHANCED SURROUND
• VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
• VIRTUAL MULTI REAR

* These settings also effect the output from the LINE OUTPUT

(AUDIO) connectors.

Note
The items displayed are different depending on the settings of
“SPEAKER SETUP” (page 69).
You can select only “OFF,” “VES A” or “VES B” when you play
back a disc and set “NONE” in “REAR” in “SIZE” under
“SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display.

OFF
Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc.  For
example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the
CD or 5-channel signals for Dolby Digital sound of the
DVD.  When you connect fewer than 5 (+1) speakers, the
player distributes the output signal for the missing
speaker to other speakers appropriately.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) A
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers.  The virtual speakers are reproduced
as shown in the illustration below.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)  B
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R)  without using
actual rear speakers.  The virtual speakers are reproduced
as shown in the illustration below.

NORMAL SURROUND
Software with 2 channel audio signals, is decoded with
Dolby Pro Logic to create surround effects.

ENHANCED SURROUND
Provides a greater sense of presence from Pro Logic
source with monaural rear channel sound.  Produces a
stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear
speakers away from the actual speaker position.  The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below.  The shift position differs according to
the setting of the rear speaker position.

VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear
speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers.  The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below.  The position of the virtual rear
speakers differs according to the setting of the rear
speaker position.

* See page 69 for details on how to set the rear speaker position.

Notes
• Some discs do not have rear sound.  In this case, you cannot get

the 3D surround effect.

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain the surround

component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you
select “VES A” or ”VES B.”

• If you connect the front speakers only, “NORMAL

SURROUND,” ”ENHANCED SURROUND,” ”VIRTUAL
REAR SHIFT” and “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR” cannot be
selected.

• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including

the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to hear
even if you select “VES A” or “VES B.”

• In case that the player outputs the signal from DIGITAL

OUTPUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL), the surround effect will be
heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” and
“MPEG” to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

• When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequency,

be sure to select “OFF,” or the output signals will be converted
to 48 kHz (sampling frequency).  (Except when the player
outputs the audio signal from DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL,
COAXIAL).)

• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can

also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer.
When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” the player does not
output the sound from the center speaker.

• When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” set the surround settings

of the connected units such as the amplifier to OFF.
