TV Virtual Surround

Settings (TVS)

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.

This function is designed to work with the

LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks.

Note that if you select one of the TVS

settings, the player does not output the

Sound

following signals from the DIGITAL OUT

(COAXIAL) jack.
