5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

№

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels
recorded in Dolby* Digital (AC-3) format. Using a
receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and the 5

(+1) speakers, you can enjoy more real audio presence in
the comfort of your own home.
"5 channel" stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and
Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right) and 1 center

speaker. The "0.1 channel" (+1) stands for the subwoofer
which outputs the bass.
Even if you have fewer than 5 (+1) speakers, the player
distributes the output signal to the speakers appropriately.
You can enjoy the VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)

system using the-DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) method
that Sony developed. The VES system realize surround
sound only with front speakers. For details on the VES

mode, see page 32.

Speaker placement

For the best possible surround sound, we recommend the
following conditions.

• Use higher performance speakers.

• Use rear and center speakers that match your front

speakers in size and performance.

• All speakers should be the same distance from the

listening position.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if

possible.

Notes

• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press the

1/(1) (POWER) button before completing all connections.

• The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks.

Loose connection may cause hum and noise.

• Jacks and plugs of the connecting cords are color-coded as

follows;
Red jacks and plugs: Right audio channel
White jacks and plugs: Left audio channel
You can use either red or white cables to connect the center

speaker and subwoofer.

• When you connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT

OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial
digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page U.

Setups for the player

Some setups are necessary for the player depending on
the components to be connected.
Use the setup display or Control Menu display to change
the various settings.
For details on using the setup display, see page 41.
For details on enjoying Digital Cinema Sound, see page
32.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound by

connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with

5.1 CH inputs

Set each speaker position or distance, etc. See page 51.

Note

Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
