TV Virtual Surround
Settings (TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or two 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.
If the recorder is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL
OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will
only be heard when "Dolby Digital" in Audio Setup is set to "D-
PCM" (page 96).
TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for
home use using just a stereo TV.
SUR
Press SUR repeatedly during playback to select
one of the TVS sounds.
Refer to the following explanations given for each item.
