Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal even
if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See
“Changing the Sound” on page 54.) If you have made the connections using an
optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will
come out.
• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD
with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the
connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when
you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.
• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do
not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out
from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
• When you set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if
you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play
DTS sound tracks on DVDs.
Notes

Glossary
Dolby Pro Logic (page 92)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories Corporation
developed for surround sound. When
the input signal contains a surround
component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, center and rear
signals. The rear channel is monaural.
DTS (page 22)
Digital audio compression technology
that Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
developed. This technology conforms to
5.1-channel surround. The rear channel
is stereo and there is a discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels
of high quality digital audio. Good
channel separation is realized because
all of the channel data is recorded
discretely and processed in digital.
DVD (page 6)
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its
diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte)
which is 7 times that of a CD. The data
capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided
DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and
double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a dual-
layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2
format, one of the worldwide standards
of digital compression technology. The
picture data is compressed to about 1/40
of its original size. The DVD also uses a
variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital
as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy
a more real audio presence.
Bit rate (page 64)
Value indicating the amount of video
data compressed in a DVD per second.
The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second).
1 Mbps indicates that the data per
second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the
bit rate, the larger the amount of data.
However, this does not always mean
that you can get higher quality pictures.
Chapter (page 7)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on
a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title
is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you
want.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 60)
The general name of technology that
Sony developed to enjoy surround
sound in a home. It simulates the sound
of a movie editing studio instead of the
usual concert hall so that you can enjoy
the surround sound of a movie theater
in the comfort of your own home. The
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround)
system contained in DCS programs can
create the sound image of virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear
speakers.
Dolby Digital (page 22, 93)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories
Corporation. This technology conforms
to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear
channel is stereo and there is a discrete
subwoofer channel in this format.
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital
audio found in Dolby Digital cinema
audio systems. Good channel separation
is realized because all of the channel
data is recorded discretely and
processed in digital.
109
Additional Information
Furthermore, various advanced
functions such as the multi-angle,
multilingual, and Parental Control
functions are provided with the DVD.
Multi-angle function (page 58)
Various angles for the scene, or
viewpoints of the video camera, for a
scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function (page 28, 57, 80)
Several languages for the audio track or
sub-titles in a picture are recorded on
some DVDs.
Parental Control (page 85)
A function of the DVD used to limit
playback of the disc according to the age
of the user and the limitation level in
each country. The limitation varies from
disc to disc; when it is activated,
playback is completely prohibited,
violent scenes are skipped or replaced
with other scenes, and so on.
Playback Control (PBC) (page 39)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version
2.0) to control playback.
By using menus recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy
playing simple interactive programs,
programs with search functions, and so
on.
Title (page 7)
The longest section of a picture or a
music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for
a picture piece on video software; or an
album, etc., for a music piece on audio
software. Each title is assigned a title
number enabling you to locate the title
you want.
Track (page 7)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on
a CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is
assigned a track number enabling you to
locate the track you want.
VIDEO CD (page 6)
A compact disc that contains moving
pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1
format, one of the worldwide standards
of digital compression technology. The
picture data is compressed to about 1/
140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74
minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio
data. Sounds outside the range of
human hearing are compressed while
the sounds we can hear are not
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6
times the audio information of
conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-
resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC
functions.
This player conforms to both versions.
