VIDEO CDs, you can select the sound from 
either the right or left channel and listen to the 
sound of the selected channel through both 
the right and left speakers. For example, when 
playing a disc containing a song with the 
vocals on the right channel and the 
instruments on the left channel, you can hear

About audio signals
Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the 
sound elements (channels) shown below. 
Each channel is output from a separate 
speaker.
• Front (L)
• Front (R)
• Centre
• Rear  (L)
• Rear  (R)
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either 
the Dolby Surround Sound processed 
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s 
monaural rear audio signals.
• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal
Notes
• If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
(page 57) the DTS track selection option will not 
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 
tracks.
• MPEG audio signals with more than two channels 
will appear as shown above (3/2.1, 2/1), but only 
the Front (L) and Front (R) signals will be output 
from your two front speakers.
TV Virtual Surround 
Settings
(TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front 
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets 
you enjoy surround sound effects by using 
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers 
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, 
R: right) without using actual rear speakers. 
TVS was developed by Sony to produce 
surround sound for home use using just a 
stereo TV.
This only works when playing a multichannel 
Dolby audio soundtrack. Furthermore, if the 
player is set up to output the signal from the 
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) 
jack, the surround effect will only be heard 
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-
PCM” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in 
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 58).

To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
Creates one set of LARGE virtual rear 
speakers and virtual subwoofer from the 
sound of the front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers and subwoofer 
(shown below). 
This mode is effective when the distance 
between the front L and R speakers is short, 
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TVS DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from 
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance 
between the front L and R speakers is short, 
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TVS WIDE
Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from 
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance 
between the front L and R speakers is short, 
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are 
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are 
unaffected. This feature is useful when you 
want to hear the dialogue and enjoy the 
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at 
low volume.
TVS STANDARD
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers 
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) 
without using actual rear speakers (shown 
below). Use this setting when you want to use 
TVS with 2 separate speakers. 
Notes
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal 
for the rear speakers, the surround effects cannot 
be heard.
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off 
the surround setting of the connected TV or 
amplifier (receiver).
• Make sure that your listening position is between 
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and 
that the speakers are located in similar 
surroundings.
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” 
function in the same way.
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast 
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can 
change the TVS modes.

About MP3 Audio Tracks 
and JPEG Image Files
MP3 is audio compression technology that 
satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations. 
JPEG is image compression technology.
You can play DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that 
contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image 
files.
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the 
player can play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio 
Layer III) and JPEG format.
However, this player only plays DATA CDs 
whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/
Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of 
Universal Disk Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with the 
disc drives and the recording software (not 
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note
The player may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.
MP3 audio track or JPEG image 
file that the player can play
The player can play the following tracks and 
files:
– MP3 audio tracks with the extension 
“.MP3.”
– JPEG image files with the extension 
“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”
– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF* 
image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image 
standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA 
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology 
Industries Association).
Notes
• The player will play any data with the extension 
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not 
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may 
generate a loud noise which could damage your 
speaker system.
• The player does not conform to audio tracks in 
mp3PRO format.
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
About playback order of albums, 
tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
Structure of disc contents

Track or file
,continued
44
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD 
and press 
H, the numbered tracks (or files) 
are played sequentially, from 
1 through 7.
Any sub-albums/tracks (or files) contained 
within a currently selected album take 
priority over the next album in the same tree. 
(Example: 
C contains D so 4 is played 
before
5.)
When you press MENU and the list of album 
names appears (page 45), the album names 
are arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums 
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as 
album
E) do not appear in the list.
Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front 
of the track/file names when you store the tracks 
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be 
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start 
playback, it is recommended that you create 
albums with no more than two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the 
DATA CD/DATA DVD, the playback order may 
differ from the above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable 
if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/
files in each album.
• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the 
player will count just albums, including albums 
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG 
image files). The player will not play any albums 
beyond the 200th album.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take 
some time.
Playing MP3 Audio 
Tracks or JPEG Image

Hint
You can view the disc information while playing 
MP3 audio tracks (page 34).
Notes
• DATA CDs recorded in KODAK Picture CD 
format automatically start playing when inserted.
• If no MP3 audio track or JPEG image file is 
recorded on the DATA CD/DATA DVD, “No

track or album when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set 
to “AUTO.” See “Playing repeatedly (Repeat 
Play)” (page 28) to repeat the track or album.
• The player recognizes a maximum of 200 albums 
regardless of the selected mode. Of each album, 
the player recognizes up to 300 MP3 audio tracks 
and 300 JPEG image files when “AUTO” is 
selected, 600 MP3 audio tracks when “AUDIO 
(MP3)” is selected, 600 JPEG image files when 
“IMAGE (JPEG)” is selected.
Notes
• This function does not work if the MP3 audio 
tracks and JPEG image files are not placed in the 
same album.
• If playing time of JPEG image or MP3 audio is 
longer than the other, the longer one continues 
without sound or image.

data at the same time, the sound may skip. It is 
recommended that you set the MP3 bit rate to 128
