When playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in 
multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, 
MPEG audio, 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 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.

 

 

The following display appears.

 

 

◆ When playing a DVD VIDEO
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, the 
choice of language varies.
When 4 digits are displayed, they

which language the code represents. 
When the same language is displayed two 
or more times, the DVD VIDEO is 
recorded in multiple audio formats.

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)

If you press 

 (audio) repeatedly during 

playback, the format of the current audio 
signal (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) 
appears as shown below.

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch

Dolby Digital 3 ch

Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the 
sound elements (channels) shown below. 
Each channel is output from a separate 
speaker.
• Front (L)
• Front (R)
• Center
• Rear (L)
• Rear (R)
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either 

the Dolby Surround Sound processed 
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s 
monaural rear audio signals.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal

• 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 68).

• MPEG audio signals with more than two channels 

will appear as shown above (3/2.1, 2/1), but only 
the Front (L) and Front (R) signals will be output 
from your two front speakers.

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 was developed by Sony to produce 
surround sound for home use using just a 
stereo TV.
This only works when playing a multichannel 
Dolby audio soundtrack. Furthermore, if the 
player is set up to output the signal from the 
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL* or COAXIAL) 
jack, the surround effect will only be heard 
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to
“D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 68).

The following display appears.
