Sound Adjustments
Changing the Sound
When playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in
multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital,
or DTS), you can change the audio format. If
the DVD VIDEO is recorded with
multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With CDs, DATA CDs, or VIDEO CDs, you
can select the sound from either the right or
left channel and listen to the sound of the
selected channel through both the right and
left speakers. For example, when playing a
disc containing a song with the vocals on the
right channel and the instruments on the left
channel, you can hear the instruments from
both speakers by selecting the left channel.
AUDIO

Press AUDIO during playback.
The following display appears.

2
Press AUDIO repeatedly to select
the desired audio signal.

To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
For 2 speaker setups
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, TVS (TV 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.
TVS has developed by Sony to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV.
If the player is set up to output the signal from
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be
heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and
“DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO
SETUP”(page 80).
◆TVS DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
TV
◆TVS WIDE
Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

◆ When playing a DVD VIDEO
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, the
choice of language varies.
When 4 digits are displayed, they
indicate a language code. See “Language
Code List” on page 92 to see which
language the code represents. When the
same language is displayed two or more
times, the DVD VIDEO is recorded in
multiple audio formats.
◆ When playing a DVD-RW
The types of sound tracks recorded on a
disc are displayed. The default setting is
underlined.
Example:
• 1: MAIN (main sound)
• 1: SUB (sub sound)
• 1: MAIN+SUB (main and sub sound)
◆ When playing a VIDEO CD, CD, or
DATA CD (MP3 audio)
The default setting is underlined.
• STEREO: the standard stereo sound
• 1/L: the sound of the left channel
(monaural)
• 2/R: the sound of the right channel
(monaural)
◆ When playing a Super VCD
The default setting is underlined.
• 1:STEREO: the stereo sound of the
audio track 1
• 1:1/L: the sound of the left channel of
the audio track 1 (monaural)
• 1:2/R: the sound of the right channel of
the audio track 1 (monaural)
• 2:STEREO: the stereo sound of the
audio track 2
• 2:1/L: the sound of the left channel of
the audio track 2 (monaural)
• 2:2/R: the sound of the right channel of
the audio track 2 (monaural)
Notes
• 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.”
• You cannot change the sound for Super Audio
CDs.
◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but quieter sounds are
unaffected. This feature is useful when you
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at
low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the actual front speakers (L,
R) as shown below. This mode is effective
when you use 2 separate front speakers.
L
R
L: Front speaker (left)
R: Front speaker (right)
: Virtual speaker
For 4 to 6 speaker setups
You can enjoy the following surround effects
by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear
speakers.
Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver)
with the
connection (page 28).
D-1
You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the
sound of the rear speakers away from the
actual speaker position or create entire sets of
virtual rear speakers from one set of actual
rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”
“VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and
“VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make
use of this technology.
