TVS 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."
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.
L: Left front speaker
R: Right front speaker
: Virtual speakers

If you select any TVS setting other than "OFF,"
the SURROUND 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 52), 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 discs.
However, not all discs will respond to the "TVS
NIGHT" function in the same way.
• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack,
sound will come from your speakers but it will not
have the TVS effect.
