TI media with arbitrary spatial orientation (ATI) is the actual anisotropic model used to describe tilted PTL (period
thin layers) and no vertical fractured rock. We devote our paper to study the Influence of body-wave velocity
characteristic on the seismic data interpretation in the ATI media. Based on the method of coordinates
transformation for the TI media with arbitrary strength of anisotropy and arbitrary spatial orientation, we present
the characteristic of body-wave velocity with incident angle and azimuth variation in the ATI media. The result
shows that patterns of body-wave velocity are fixed relative to the symmetry axis, and these fixed patterns are
closely relative to Thomsen's anisotropic parameters. Body-wave velocity characteristic depends just on the
angle between the propagation direction and the symmetry axis. Therefore, with variations of spatial orientation of
the symmetry axis and the surveying line azimuth, patterns of body-wave velocity have a variety, and have some
symmetries, gradual changes and repetitions. The result is useful to processing and explaining of seismic data.
