zYou 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.

zIf 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

Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected.

Use the setup display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 64.
