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).
