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)
• Centre
• 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” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF,” 

the DTS track selection option will not appear on 
the screen even if the disc contains DTS tracks 
(page 60).

• 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.
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” and 
“MPEG” is set to “PCM” in “AUDIO 
SETUP” (page 60).

The following display appears.
