To reset the TVS setting
In Step 2, select "OFF."
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.
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.
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT
The large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are
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.

You can also change the TVS setting by pressing
SURROUND on the player. If you select any TVS
setting other than "OFF," the indicator on the player
lights up.
Notes
When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a
moment.
When the playing signal does not contain a signal for
the rear speakers (page 45), the surround effects may
be difficult to hear.
When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the
surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier
(receiver).
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 and
MPEG audio discs. However, not all discs will
respond to the TVS NIGHT function in the same
way.
If you use the DIGITAL OUT (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.
