For 2 speaker setups
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.
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 “DOLBY DIGITAL” and
“DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO
SETUP” (page 91)
◆TVS DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R)
as shown below.
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 WIDE
Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the actual front speakers (L, R)
as shown below.
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
Large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but quieter sounds are
unaffected. 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
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the actual front speakers
(L, R) as shown below. This mode is effective
when you use 2 separate front speakers.
For 4 to 6 speaker setups
You can enjoy the following surround effects
by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear
speakers.
Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver)
with the connection (page 26).
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.
