5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Some DVDs have a sound track with up to 5.1 channels recorded in Dolby Digital, MPEG audio or DTS format. Using a receiver (amplifier) having 5.1 channel inputs and 6 speakers, you can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of your own home.

“5.1 channel” stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofer.

Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal to the speakers.

This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position (VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode, see page 36.

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.
  • Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R) speakers if possible.

Note

Do not place the rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

When connecting the cords, be sure to match the color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

Do not connect the power cord to a switched mains such as the mains on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so may cause the Playback Memory, Bookmark, Disc Memo and menu settings to be cancelled when you turn off the receiver.

Notes

  • Do not connect the mains lead to the mains or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.
  • Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.
  • The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.
  • If you want to connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied), see page 10.

Setups for the player

Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player depending on the components to be connected.

Use the setup display to change the various settings. For details on using the setup display, see page 52.

- To enjoy surround sounds by connecting the player to a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs Correctly adjust each speaker to your listening position (page 65).

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 via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “D-PCM” 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 32.) If you set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
  • If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Notes

  • If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. It will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15 minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press ▷. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 58.)
  • If you do not operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes when a disc is not being played, the player automatically enters the standby mode. (Auto Power Off function)
  • While playing a disc, do not turn off the player by pressing ①. Doing so may cancel the settings of the menu. When you turn off the player, press ■ first to stop playback and then press I/⏻ on the remote. After the power indicator lights up in red and the player enters standby mode, press ① on the player.

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use 3D 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 1 set of actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes:

NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND, VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for the stereo sound of a CD or the Dolby Digital, MPEG audio and DTS sounds of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the center speaker.

SONY DVP-S745D - NORMAL SURROUND - 1

text_image L R LS RS

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift position differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 66).

Notes

  • When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.
  • When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, the 3D surround effects may be difficult to hear.
  • When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. However, when you select “VES TV,” “VES A,” “VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.
  • When you select one of the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND modes, set the surround setting of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to OFF.
  • The sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.
  • If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors, the surround effect will not be heard when you play a CD.
  • Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with the listening position at the top. Otherwise, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A,” “VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.”
  • When you connect 4 speakers, the surround effect will not be heard if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors.

  • ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound from the built-in TV speakers is distorted.

Note

The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

■ AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control) (DVD only)

Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD. This function works only when you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function.

This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM,”

“MPEG” is set to “PCM” and “DTS” is set to “D-PCM” in “DIGITAL OUT.”

• STANDARD: Normally select this position.
- TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn the volume down. It is especially recommended when you listen to the sound using the speakers of the TV.
- WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live performance. This function only works when you are playing a Dolby Digital disc and is more effective when you connect 6 speakers using the 5.1 channel connectors. When you use high quality speakers, it is even more effective.

Note

When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there may be no effect on the sound.

■ CENTER SPEAKER EQ (equalizer)

Makes the spoken track clear by changing the sound frequency response when speech is difficult to hear. A center speaker must be connected to the CENTER connector of 5.1CH OUTPUT for this function to work.

  • FLAT: outputs the spoken track as it was recorded.
  • ENHANCED: enhances the spoken track only.
  • SOFT: makes the sound softer by rounding out the sound frequency above 8 kHz. Select this when the spoken track sounds shrill.

DOWNMIX

Switches the mixing down methods when you play a DVD on which rear signal components such as LS, RS, or S are recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. For details on the rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio information of the disc” (page 33).

This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” and “DTS” is set to “D-PCM” in “DIGITAL OUT.”

  • DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2 channels.
  • NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio component that does not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The signals without the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are output.

DIGITAL OUT

Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

  • ON: Normally select this position. When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” “DTS” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM.” For details on setting these items, see “Setting the Digital Output Signal.”
  • OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors, the influence of the digital circuit upon the analog circuit is at a minimum.

Note

When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” “DTS” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM.”

Setting the Digital Output Signal

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord. For connection details, see page 10.

You cannot adjust “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” “DTS” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” if you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”

■ DOLBY DIGITAL

Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

  • D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in “AUDIO SETUP.”
  • DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

MPEG

Selects the MPEG audio signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

  • PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder. If you play MPEG audio sound tracks, the player outputs stereo signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
  • MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio component having a built-in MPEG decoder. If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the MPEG audio sound track, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

■ DTS

Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

  • D-PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder. If you play DTS sound tracks, the player outputs stereo signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
  • DTS: when the player is connected to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

■ 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

  • 48kHz/16bit: The audio signals of DVDs are always converted to 48 kHz/16 bit.
  • 96kHz/24bit: All types of signals including 96 kHz/24 bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.

Notes

  • If you select “96kHz/24bit” when a receiver (amplifier) which cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a loud noise will come out from the speakers.
  • Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz/16 bit when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.
  • The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.

Glossary

Bit rate (page 40)

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 28)

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 36)

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 (pages 11, 64)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. 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.

Dolby Pro Logic (pages 11, 64)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories 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 (pages 11, 64)

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 4)

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. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

MPEG audio (page 64)

International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Multi-angle function (page 35)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (pages 14, 32, 35, 55)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 60)

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 22)

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 28)

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 28)

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 4)

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.
