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 LINE OUT AUDIO connectors. Note that if you select one of the TVS settings while playing a DVD, the player does not output the following signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.

•Dolby Digital signals (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”) (page 66)

•MPEG audio signals

Select “TVS” after pressing DISPLAY. When you select any item except “OFF,” the “TVS” indicator lights up in green.

Effects of each item

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) 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 built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) WIDE

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. This gives the sound an expanded effect that fills the area surrounding the listener. 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.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

The large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you don’t want to disturb other people but still want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.
