TV Virtual Surround  
Settings (TVS)  
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.  
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 only works when playing a multichannel  
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the  
player is set up to output the signal from the  
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/  
HDMI OUT jack, the surround effect will  
only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is  
set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”  
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.  
Notes  
• 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 connected TV or audio  
component.  
• Make sure that your listening position is between  
and at an equal distance from your speakers and  
that the speakers are located in similar  
surroundings.  
SUR  
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT”  
function in the same way.  
• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY  
DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” and “DTS”  
to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come  
from your speakers but it will not have the  
SURROUND effect.  
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast  
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can  
change the TVS modes.
