TV Virtual Surround Sound Settings (TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, 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. This function is designed to
work with the LINE OUT AUDIO connectors. Note that if
you select one of the TVS settings while playing a DVD,
the player does not output the following signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.
• Dolby Digital signals (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL”
in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”) (page 66)
• MPEG audio signals
Select “TVS” after pressing DISPLAY. When you select
any item except “OFF,” the “TVS” indicator lights up in
green.

Effects of each item
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. The virtual speakers are reproduced as
shown in the illustration 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 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.
