TV Virtual Surround Sound Settings (TVS)

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) STANDARD

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. Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers and retain the sound quality.

LR

L:Left front speaker

R:Right front speaker : Virtual speakers

Notes

When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a moment.

When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 32), the surround effects may be difficult to hear.

When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings. Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern.

TVS NIGHT only works with Dolby Digital and MPEG audio discs. However, not all discs will respond to the TVS NIGHT function in the same way.

If you use the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.

Do not use the TVS function together with the KARAOKE SURROUND function (page 49). You will not be able to enjoy the surround sound effect presented by TVS.
