When playing a DVD VIDEO or DATA CD 
(DivX video files)/DATA DVD (DivX video 
files) recorded in multiple audio formats 
(PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS), 
you can change the audio format. If the DVD 
VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, 
you can also change the language.
With CDs or 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 the instruments from both speakers by 
selecting the left channel.

The following display appears.

◆ When playing a DVD VIDEO
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, the 
choice of language varies.

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

If “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” 
(page 61), the DTS track selection option will not 
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 
tracks.

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 sound track. Furthermore, if the 
player is set up to output the signal from the 
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/
HDMI OUT 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 61).

The following display appears.

See the explanations given for each item 
in the following section.
• TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
• TVS DYNAMIC
• TVS  WIDE
• TVS NIGHT
• TVS STANDARD

To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC, 
TVS WIDE
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
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
Use this setting when you want to use TVS 
with 2 separate speakers.

• 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 audio 
component.

• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” 

function in the same way.

• 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.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 

COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY 
DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to 
“MPEG,” and “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO 
SETUP,” sound will come from your speakers but 
it will not have the SURROUND effect.

• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast 

Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can 
change the TVS modes.

TVS DYNAMIC THEATER

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.

You can play back DATA CDs or DATA 
DVDs 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.

The player may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.

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).

• 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.
• You cannot play MP3 audio tracks/JPEG image 

files in DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that contain 
DivX video files.

Albums play in the following order:
◆Structure of disc contents

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.

z 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.

• 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.

plays only the DivX video files.

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.

About playback order of data on DATA CDs 
or DATA DVDs
See “About playback order of albums, tracks, 
and files” (page 46). Note that the playback 
order may not be applicable, depending on 
the software used for creating the DivX video 
file, or if there are more than 200 albums and 
600 DivX video files in each album.

The player may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.

The player can play data that is recorded in 
DivX format, and which has the extension 
“.AVI” or “.DIVX.” The player will not play 
files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX”  if 
they do not contain a DivX video.

z Hint
For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs, see 
“DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the player can 
play” (page 46).

• The player may not play a DivX video file when 

the file has been combined from two or more 
DivX video files.

• The player cannot play a DivX video file of size 

more than 720 (width) 

×  576 (height)/2 GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may be unclear or the sound may skip.

• The player cannot play some DivX video files that 

are longer than 3 hours.

You can play DivX video files on DATA CDs 
and DATA DVDs.

z Hints
• You can view the disc information while playing 

a DivX video file (page 27).

• The player plays DivX video files either in PAL 

or NTSC colour system according to the current 
setting (page 16).

• If there are no DivX video files recorded on the 

DATA CD/DATA DVD, a message appears to 
indicate that the disc is not playable.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture 

may pause or be unclear. In which case, it is 
recommended that you create the file at a lower 
bit rate. If the sound is still noisy, MP3 is the 
recommended audio format. Note, however, this 
player does not conform to WMA (Windows 
Media Audio) format.

• Because of the compression technology used for 

DivX video files, it may take some time after you 
press
