TVS 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 separate speakers
and retain the sound quality.

For 4 to 6 speaker setups
You can enjoy the following surround effects
by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear
speakers.
Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver)
with the B-1 connection (page 22).
You 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.
NORMAL SURROUND
Software with 2 channel audio signals is
decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) decoder to create surround effects.
The rear speakers will emit identical

For 2 speaker setups
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:
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 "DOLBY DIGITAL" and
"DTS" are set to "D-PCM" in "AUDIO
SETUP" (page 84).
TVS DYNAMIC
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. 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.
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 86).

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses sound imaging to create an array of

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 86).

TVS 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.

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 86.
• 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 57), the surround effects may
be difficult to hear.
• When you select "TVS DYNAMIC," "TVS WIDE,"
"TVS NIGHT", or "TVS STANDARD," 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).
