TV Virtual Surround Settings
(TVS)
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 feature only works when playing a multichannel
Dolby audio sound track.
1
Press + 0 during playback.
The following display appears.
2
Press + 0 repeatedly to select one of the TVS
sounds.
◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC, TVS
WIDE
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 NIGHT
This feature is useful when you want to hear the dialog
and enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE”
at low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2
separate speakers.
To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the
rear speakers, the surround effects cannot be heard.
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the
surround setting of the TV.
• Make sure that your listening position is at an equal
distance from your speakers and that the speakers are
located in similar surroundings.
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” function
in the same way.
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast Play or
Slow Play functions, even though you can change the
TVS modes.
