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
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)
jack, the surround effect will only be heard
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to
“D-PCM” and MPEG is set to “PCM” (page
66).
1 Press SUR during playback.
The following display appears.
2 Press SUR repeatedly to select
one of the TVS sounds.
Refer to the following explanations given
for each item.
• TVS DYNAMIC
•TVS WIDE
• TVS NIGHT
• TVS STANDARD
To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
◆TVS DYNAMIC
Creates 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.
◆TVS WIDE
Creates 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.
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.
◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are
unaffected. This feature is useful when you
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at
low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Creates 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.
