Selecting the Effect to
Suit the Source
You can select a suitable sound mode for movies
or music.
Press SOUND MODE +/– repeatedly during
playback until the desired mode appears in
the front panel display.
• “AUTO”: The system selects “MOVIE” or
“MUSIC” automatically to produce the sound
effect depending on the disc or sound stream.
• “MOVIE”: The system provides the sound for
movies.
• “MUSIC”: The system provides the sound for
music.
• “SPORTS”: The system adds reverberation for
sports programs.
• “GAME ROCK”: The system provides the
sound for music/rhythm games.
• “OMNI-DIR”: The same sound is audible
anywhere in the room.
• “3D SUR.”: “3D SUR.” is a unique Sony
algorithm used for playing 3D (three-
dimensional) content that provides a 3D sound
experience with depth and presence by
creating a virtual sound field close to your
ears.
• “HALL”: The system reproduces the sound of
a concert hall.
• “NIGHT”: You can enjoy sound effects or
dialog, as you would in a movie theater, even
at low volume. It is useful for watching movies
at night.
• Depending on the disc or source, when you select
“AUTO,” the beginning of the sound may be cut off
as the system selects the optimum mode
automatically. To avoid cutting the sound, select
other than “AUTO.”
• Depending on the input stream, the sound mode may
not be effective.
• When you play a Super Audio CD, this function does
not work.
• When “NIGHT” is selected and sound is output from
the center speaker, this effect is more pronounced, as
speech (movie dialog, etc.) is easy to hear. When
sound is not output from the center speaker, the
system optimally adjusts the volume.
Selecting the Audio
Format, Multilingual
Tracks, or Channel
When the system is playing a BD/DVD VIDEO
recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM,
Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS) or
multilingual tracks, you can change the audio
format or language.
With a CD, 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.
Press repeatedly during playback to
select the desired audio signal.
The audio information appears on the TV
screen.
