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 L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 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 (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)

jack (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in

“AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”) (page 68).

1Press SURROUND during playback.

Surround) sounds.
