VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual
rear speaker positions higher than the listener
from a single pair of actual rear speakers.
This mode creates five sets of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at
approximately a 30 angle of elevation. The
effect differs according to "REAR" or
"SIDE" setting of the rear speakers (page 76).

You can select SURROUND directly by pressing
SURROUND on the player. Each time you press the
button, the item changes. If you select any setting
other than "OFF," the indicator on the player lights up.
Notes
To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH
OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker position
and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see
page 76.
When you select an item, 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 "TVS DYNAMIC," "TVS WIDE,"
"TVS NIGHT" or "TVS STANDARD," the player
does not output the sound from the centre speaker.
When you select one of the SURROUND modes,
turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or
amplifier (receiver).
If the player is set up to output the signal from the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the
surround effect will not be heard when you play a
CD.
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 (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack and set "DOLBY DIGITAL" to
"DOLBY DIGITAL" and "MPEG" to "MPEG" in
"AUDIO SETUP," sound will come from your
speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.
