Software with 2 channel audio signals is
decoded with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to
create surround effects. The rear speakers
will emit identical monaural sounds. If you
are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate
sounds for the center speaker.

ENHANCED SURROUND
Provides a greater sense of presence from a
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a
monaural rear channel signal. Produces a
stereo like effect in the rear channels.

Uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the
rear speakers away from the actual speaker
position.
The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown
in the illustration below. The shift position

When you connect only 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.
Select one of the following modes:
VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
Uses sound imaging to create an array of
virtual rear speakers from a single pair of
actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are
reproduced as shown in the illustration
below. The position of the virtual rear
speakers differs according to "REAR" or
"SIDE" setting of the rear speakers (page 72) .

If the player is set up to output the signal from
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be
heard only when you set "DOLBY
DIGITAL" to "D-PCM" in "AUDIO
SETUP." (page 71)
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) DYNAMIC
Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers
(L, R) without using actual rear speakers
(shown below). The sound imaging effect is
distinct and clearly reproduces each aural
element of the audio track.
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.
TV
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) WIDE
Uses sound imaging to create 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 gives the sound
an expanded effect that fills the area
surrounding the listener.
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.

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual
rear speaker positions higher than the listener
from a single pair of actual rear speakers.
This mode creates five sets of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at
approximately a 30° angle of elevation. The
effect differs according to "REAR" or
"SIDE" setting of the rear speakers (page 72).

unaffected. This feature is useful when you
don't want to disturb other people but still
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) STANDARD
Uses sound imaging to create 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 separete speakers
and retain the sound quality.

Yo u can experience Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the
sound of the rear speakers away from the
actual speaker position or create entire sets of
virtual rear speakers from one set of actual
rear speakers. "VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,"
"VIRTUAL MULTI REAR," and
"VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION" make
use of this technology.

Notes
• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH
OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker position
and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see
page 72.
• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a
moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for
the rear speakers (page 49), the surround effects may
be difficult to hear.
• When you select "TVS DYNAM IC," "TVS WIDE,"
"TVS NIGHT" or "TVS STANDAR D," the player
does not output the sound from the center speaker.
• When you select one of the SURROUND modes,
turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or
amplifier (receiver).
• If the player is set up to output the signal from the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the
surround effect will not be heard when you play a
CD.
• Make sure that your listening position is between
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that
the speakers are located in similar surroundings.
Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern.
• TVS NIGHT only works with Dolby Digital discs.
However, not all discs will respond to the TVS
NIGHT function in the same way.
• If you use the DIGITA L OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack and set "DOLBY DIGITAL" to
"DOLBY DIGITAL " in "AUDIO SETUP," sound
will come from your speakers but it will not have the
TVS effect.
