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.

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 66).
