Notes

If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP,” the DTS track selection option will not appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS tracks (page 54).

While playing a Super VCD on which the audio track 2 is not recorded, no sound will come out when you select “2:STEREO,” “2:1/L,” or “2:2/R.”

Virtual Surround Settings

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, 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.

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” (page 54).
