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 separate speakers
and retain the sound quality.
L
L : Front speaker (left)
R : Front speaker (right)

For 4 (or more) speaker setups
You can enjoy the following surround effects
by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear
speakers.
Connect the player to the receiver with the
connection (page 23).
B-1
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 Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to
create surround effects. The rear speakers
will emit identical monaural sounds. If you
are using a centre speaker, Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate
sounds for the centre speaker.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a
monaural rear channel signal. Produces a
stereo like effect in the rear channels.
VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

rear speakers away from the actual speaker
position.
The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown

differs according to "REAR" or "SIDE"
setting of the rear speakers (page 76).
