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 (OPTICAL or
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 76).
1 Press SUR during playback.
The following display appears.
2 Press SUR repeatedly to select
one of the TVS sounds.
See the explanations given for each item
in the following section.
• TVS DYNAMIC
•TVS WIDE
• TVS NIGHT
• TVS STANDARD
To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
◆TVS DYNAMIC
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.
◆TVS WIDE
Creates five sets 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.
◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but 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 three sets of virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R)
without using actual rear speakers (shown
below). Use this setting when you want to use
TVS with 2 separate speakers.
