Checking the Play 
Information
 (ADVANCED) 
 
You can check information such as the bit 
rate or the disc layer that is being played.
While playing a disc, an approximate bit rate 
of the playback picture is always displayed as 
Mbps (Mega bit per second) and the audio as 
kbps (kilo bit per second).

Select “OFF” in Step 3.
To turn off the Control Menu
Press DISPLAY repeatedly until the Control 
Menu is turned off.
By pressing DISPLAY repeatedly, you can 
display either “BIT RATE” or “LAYER,” 
whichever was selected in “ADVANCED.”
BIT RATE
Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio 
data per second in a disc. The higher the bit 
rate, the larger the amount of data. When the 
bit rate level is high, there is a large amount 
of data. However, this does not always mean 
that you can get higher quality pictures or 
sounds.
LAYER
Indicates the approximate point where the 
disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates 
which layer is being read (“Layer 0” or 
Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 97 (DVD 
VIDEO).

If the DVD VIDEO is recorded with 
multilingual tracks, you can select the 
language you want while playing the DVD 
VIDEO.
When the DVD VIDEO is recorded in 
multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, 
or DTS), you can select the audio format 
while playing the DVD VIDEO.
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. (In this case, the 
sound loses its stereo effect.) 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.

When you connect only 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. 
Select one of the following modes:
If the player is set up to output the signal from 
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 
COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be 
heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and 
DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO 
SETUP”(page 89).
TVS DYNAMIC
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear 
speakers from the sound of the front speakers 
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers (shown 
below). The sound imaging effect is distinct and 
clearly reproduces each aural element of the 
audio track.
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
Uses 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. This gives the sound 
an expanded effect that fills the area 
surrounding the listener.
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 
compressed, but the quieter sounds are 
unaffected. This feature is useful when you 
don’t want to disturb other people but still want 
to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound 
effects of “TVS WIDE.”
