TV Virtual Surround Sound Settings (TVS)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, 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. This function is designed to work with the AUDIO OUT L/R jacks. Note that if you select one of the TVS settings while playing a DVD, the player does not output the Dolby Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack (when you set “DOLBY

DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D- PCM”) (page 68).

TVS DYNAMIC

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The sound imaging effect is distinct and clearly reproduces each aural element of the audio track.

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.
