TVS 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.

L : Front speaker (left)

R : Front speaker (right) : Virtual speaker

For 4 to 6 speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers.

Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver) with the B-1connection (page 25).

You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,” “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make use of this technology.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a centre speaker, the appropriate sounds for the centre speaker will be delivered.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position.

The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift position differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 94).
