If the player is set up to output the signal from
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be
heard only when you set “DOLBY
DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO
SETUP.” (page 71)
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
(shown 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 with 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
compressed, 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.
TVS (TV Virtual Surround) STANDARD
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. Use this setting when
you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers
and retain the sound quality.
You can enjoy the following surround effects
by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear
speakers.
Connect the player to the receiver with the
connection (page 21).
You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the
sound of the rear speakers away from the
actual speaker position or create entire sets of
virtual rear speakers from one set of actual
rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”
“VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and
“VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make
use of this technology.
