Q.
Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels
recorded in Dolby* Digital (AC-3) 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 "01 channel" (-i-l) 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.
This player has VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode.
You can use the 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of
the rear speakers away from the actual speaker posihon
(VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear
speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL
MULTI REAR). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D
SURROUND mode, see page 34.
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 sarrie distance from the
hsterung position.
• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if
possible.
Notes
• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet or press
the POWER switch before completing aU connections.
• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the
jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.
• Jacks and plugs of the connectmg cords are color-coded
as follows:
Red jacks and plugs: Right audio channel
White jacks and plugs: Left audio channel
You can use either red or white cables to connect the
center speaker and subwoofer.

OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an ophcal
or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see
page 11.
