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 (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack, the surround effect will be heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 83).

Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers (shown below).

This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
