Abstract. The research on signal processing of syllables sound signal is still the challenging tasks, due to non-stationary, speaker-dependent, variable context, and dynamic nature factor of the signal. In the process of classification using multi-layer perceptron (MLP), the process of selecting a suitable parameter of hidden neuron and hidden layer is crucial for the optimal result of classification. This paper presents a speech signal classification method by using MLP with various numbers of hidden-layer and hidden-neuron for classifying the Indonesian Consonant-Vowel (CV) syllables signal. Five feature sets were generated by using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Renyi Entropy, Autoregressive Power Spectral Density (AR-PSD) and Statistical methods. Each syllable was segmented at a certain length to form a CV unit. The results show that the average recognition of WRPSDS with 1, 2, and 3 hidden layers were 74.17%, 69.17%, and 63.03%, respectively.
