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.
This function is designed to work with the
LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks.
Note that if you select one of the TVS
settings, the player does not output the
following signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL) jack.
—Dolby Digital signals when you set
“DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP”
to “D-PCM” (page 66)
