*“1” softens the outlines of the images. “2” enhances the outlines and “3” enhances them more than “2.”

bNotes

•If the outlines of the images on your screen become blurred, set “BNR” and/or “MNR” to “Off.”

•Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the above BNR, MNR, Y NR, or C NR effects may be hard to discern. And, these functions may not work with some screen sizes.

•When using the DVE function, noise found in the title may become more apparent. In this case, it is recommended that you use the BNR function with the DVE function. If the condition still does not improve, set the DVE level to “1” or “Off.”

1 Press TOOLS during playback to select “Audio Settings,” and press ENTER.

2 Select an item, and press ENTER.

“Surround” (TVS): Selects one of the surround modes.

TVS* (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy virtual surround sound effects created from the front left and right speakers. The selected setting is displayed in the front panel display for a few seconds.

•Off: No surround effect

•Dynamic: Creates one set of virtual rear speakers.

•Wide: Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers.

•Night: Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers. Effective at low volume.

•Standard: Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers. Effective when you use two

separate front speakers.

*TVS was developed by Sony to produce home surround sound with just a stereo TV.

“Audio Filter”: Selects the digital filter to reduce noise above 22.05 kHz (Fs* is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is 48 kHz), or 48 kHz (Fs is above 96 kHz).

•Sharp(default): Provides a wide frequency range and spatial feeling.

•Slow: Provides smooth and warm sound. “AV SYNC”: When the video is delayed, this function delays the audio for synchronization with the video (0 to 120 milliseconds). Larger numbers indicate a longer audio delay for synchronization with the video. When dubbing to a VCR or other video recording equipment, be sure to return this setting to 0 ms (default).

* Sampling frequency of audio source. This function only adjusts the output signals from the LINE 1 – TV, LINE 3, or LINE 2 OUT (AUDIO L/R).

3 Press </M/m/, to select the option, and press ENTER.

bNotes

•There may be little effect by changing the Audio Filter depending on the disc or playback environment.

•To enjoy the surround TVS modes, set “Digital Out” to “On” and “Dolby Digital” to “D-PCM” and “MPEG” to “PCM” in “Audio” setup.

•The volume may be reduced when surround effects are set.

•When the playback signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, the surround effects will be difficult to hear.

•In addition, the surround effects may also be difficult to hear depending on the title being played and the environment where the recorder is being used.

•When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround settings of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

•Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings.

•When you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “Audio” setup, no sound will come from your speakers if you select one of the TVS modes.

•The surround effects do not work while performing playback quickly with sound.
