TV Virtual Surround Settings (TVS)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (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. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo TV.

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, the player does not output the following signals from the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.
