You can check the audio signal format by 
pressing AUDIO repeatedly during playback.

About audio signals
Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the 
sound elements (channels) shown below. 
Each channel is output from a separate 
speaker.
• Front (L)
• Front (R)
• Center
• Rear (L)
• Rear (R)
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either 

the Dolby Surround Sound processed 
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s 
monaural rear audio signals.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal

If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
(page 70) the DTS track selection option will not 
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 
tracks.

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” (page 70).

The Control Menu appears.

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
Creates one set of LARGE virtual rear 
speakers and virtual subwoofer from the 
sound of the front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers and subwoofer 
(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 DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from 
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers (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 front speakers (L, R) without 
using actual rear speakers (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 the 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 front speakers (L, R) 
without using actual rear speakers (shown 
below). Use this setting when you want to use 
TVS with 2 separate speakers.

• 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 
amplifier (receiver).

• 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.

• 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.
