You can enjoy surround sounds even if you connect front
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 (VES: Virtual Enhanced Surround). For details, see
page 51.
z
If you have a digital component with a built-in DTS, Dolby
Digital or MPEG decoder
You can enjoy multichannel surround sound by connecting the
component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL
connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not
supplied). For details on hookups and settings, see page 15.
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 audio/video connecting
cord (supplied) instead of the S video cord. For details, see
page 9.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your TV.
• You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in
multichannel surround format directly using an MD deck or
DAT deck.
• When you connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector, set Virtual Enhanced
Surround (VES) to “OFF.” Otherwise, the player will not output
the following signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector.
– Dolby Digital signals (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in
“AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”)
– MPEG audio
When you have made the connections using an optical or
coaxial digital connecting cord, do not set “DOLBY
DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG” and
“DTS” to “ON.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come
out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.

Setups for the player

T or MD deck
Set the “AUDIO SETUP” items in the setup display
(page 74) as shown in the illustration below. These are
the default settings.

Surround (Pro Logic) effect from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector, set “DOWNMIX” to “NORMAL” in
“AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display (page 74).
