(TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets
you eNoy surround sound effects by using
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the somld of the front speakers (L: left,
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.
TVS was developed by Sony to prodnce
snrround sotmd Ibr home use using just a
stereo TV.
This only works when playing a muhichannel
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the
player is set up to output the signal from the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)i
HDMI OUT jack, the surround effect will
only be heard when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set
to "D-PCM" in "AUDIO SETUP" (page 70).
