5.1 Channel Surround Hookups - Sony DVP-S525D Operating Instructions Manual

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels
recorded in Dolby* Digital or MPEG AUDIO 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.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in
MPEG AUDIO format, the output audio signals are mixed down
to 5.1 channels.
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.
Note
Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
