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 Dolby
Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack. (when you
set "DOLBY DIGITAL" in "AUDIO
SETUP" to "D-PCM") (page 62)
