Sony RMT-D165A Manual

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” 
(page 69) the DTS track selection option will not 
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 
tracks.

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. 
If the player is set up to output the signal from 
the DIGITAL OUT (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.

Refer to the following explanations given
