Yamaha TSS-15 Virtual Surround, Energy Saving Function, Boosting the Front Speaker Volume

■Virtual Surround

With the Virtual Surround function, you can enjoy

5.1-channel surround sound even when the surround left and right speakers are not used. The surround speakers can then be used as front speakers to provide extra power.

To turn on the Virtual Surround function, set the TSS-15 to Standby, and then set the VIRTUAL switch on the rear panel to ON.

Note:

The Virtual Surround function can be turned on or off only when the TSS-15 is on Standby. Setting the VIRTUAL switch while the TSS-15 is on will have no effect.

Boosting the Front Speaker Volume

In Virtual Surround mode, the surround left and right speakers can be used in addition to the front left and right speakers to provide extra power. In this mode, the front left and surround left speakers output the same sound. Like- wise, the front right and surround right speakers output the same sound.

When using the surround speakers as front speakers, you can adjust their positions to optimize the sound dispersion.

Note:

The test tone can be used with the Virtual Surround func- tion to adjust the level of each speaker (see page 13). The level of the surround speakers cannot be adjusted indepen- dently of the front speakers.

■Energy Saving Function

The TSS-15 has an energy saving function. If it’s left on and no controls are operated for 24 hours, it will automati- cally switch to Standby mode.
