For 2 speaker setups

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 (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 91)

◆TVS DYNAMIC

Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R) as shown below.

This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TV

◆TVS WIDE

Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R) as shown below.

This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TV

◆TVS NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.

◆TVS STANDARD

Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R) as shown below. This mode is effective when you use 2 separate front speakers.

LR

L : Front speaker (left)

R : Front speaker (right) : Virtual speaker

For 4 to 6 speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers.

Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver) with the D-1connection (page 26).

You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,” “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make use of this technology.
