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)
—MPEG audio signals

Sound Adjustments

Changing the Sound

When playing a DVD recorded in multiple
audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG
audio, or DTS), you can change the audio
format. If the DVD is recorded with
multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With CDs, DATA CDs, or VIDEO CDs, you
can select the sound from the right or left
channel and listen to the sound of the selected
channel through both the right and left
speakers. For example, when playing a disc
containing a song with the vocals on the right
channel and the instruments on the left
channel, you can hear the instruments from
both speakers by selecting the left channel.
