Sound Adjustments
Changing the Sound
If the DVD is recorded with multilingual
tracks, you can select the language you want
while playing the DVD.
If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS), you
can select the audio format you want while
playing the DVD.
With stereo 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 select the left channel and hear the
instruments from both speakers.

TV Virtual Surround Sound
Settings
(TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, 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.
This function is designed to work with the
LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks. Note
that if you select one of the TVS settings
while playing a DVD, the player does not
output the Dolby Digital signals from the
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)
jack (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in
“AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”) (page 68).
