One for a subwoofer

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.

This connection is for listening to the sound through the
left and right speakers of the TV, or speakers connected to
a receiver and the subwoofer.  You can enjoy rich bass
frequencies by connecting a subwoofer.  Refer to the
instructions supplied with the component to be
connected.
Set “SUBWOOFER” in “SPEAKER SETUP” to “YES” in
the setup display (page 67).  Then set “FRONT SPEAKER
SIZE” to “TV” when you use the TV’s speakers, or to
“LARGE,” “MIDDLE” or “SMALL” when you use the
speakers connected to the receiver.

z

speakers only
You can use 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual
rear speakers (Virtual Enhanced Surround).  For details, see page
35.

Notes
You cannot enjoy a picture with an S video signal if your TV does
not conform to the S video signal.  When your TV does not have
an S VIDEO input, connect the component via the VIDEO INPUT
connector using the video connecting cord (not supplied) instead
of the S video cord.  For details, see page 8.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your TV.

With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG
audio sound, you can enjoy the surround sound while
producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a
concert hall using a digital component with a built-in
DTS,  Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The
player outputs the surround sound signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector and 6 speakers, you can enjoy even
greater real audio presence in the comfort of your own
home.

Notes
• When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in

MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down
to 5.1 channels.

• You cannot use the karaoke function with the DIGITAL OUT

connectors.

* Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or

COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital
connecting cord (not supplied). You do not need to connect
both of these cords. See the figure on the next page.

Notes
• Do not connect the mains lead to mains 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.

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 “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 31.)  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  on playing DTS  sound  tracks  on a D V D
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 “AUDIO SETUP” 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.

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.)

• If you don‘t operate the player or the remote for more than 30

minutes when a disc is not being played, the player
automatically enters standby mode. (Auto Power Off function)

• 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.

You can search for a point on the disc by selecting the title,
chapter, track, index or scene.

You can check the playing time and remaining time of the
current title, chapter, track and the total playing time or
remaining time of the disc.
You can also 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.

If the DVD is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can
select the language you want while playing the DVD.
If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM,
Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS), you can select the audio
format you want while playing the DVD.
With 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 angle of the scene.

Select a 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.

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

Using a registered password, you can set playback
restrictions for a desired disc.
The same password is used for both Parental Control
(page 62) and Custom Parental Control.

Using the setup display, you can do the initial setup,
adjust the picture and sound and set the various outputs.
You can also set a language for the subtitles and the setup
display, limit playback by children, and so on. For details
about the setup display, see page 56.

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

You can have the player “shuffle” titles, chapters or tracks
and play them in a random order.  Subsequent
“shuffling” may produce a different playing order.

You can play 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.

For details about the Karaoke Control Menu display, see
“Using the Karaoke Control Menu Display” on page 47.
