When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, 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.

You can check play information about the bit rate or the
position where the disc is being played (layer).

Using a registered password, you can set playback

You can play the contents of the disc in the order you
want by arranging the order of the titles, chapters or
tracks on the disc to create your own program.

You can have the player “shuffle” titles, chapters or tracks
and play them in a random order.  Subsequent
“shuffling” may produce a different playing order.

You can play all the titles/tracks on a disc or a single title/
chapter/track repeatedly.

You can play a specific portion of a title, chapter, or track
repeatedly.

The Block Noise Reduction (BNR) function adjusts the
picture quality by reducing the “block noise” or mosaic
like patterns that appear on your TV screen.

TVS DYNAMIC

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. The virtual speakers are reproduced as
shown in the illustration 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 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 suppressed, 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.

Notes
• When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear

speakers (page 32), the surround effects may be difficult to
hear.

• 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.  Otherwise, the TVS effect may
be hard to discern.

• TVS NIGHT only works with Dolby Digital and MPEG audio

discs. However, not all discs will respond to the TVS NIGHT
function in the same way.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector

and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO
SETUP,” sound will come from your speakers but it will not
have the TVS effect.

• Do not use the TVS function together with the KARAOKE

SURROUND function (page 49). You will not be able to enjoy

“BIT RATE” or “LAYER,” whichever was selected in
“ADVANCED.”

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio data per
second in a disc.  The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data.  When the bit rate level is high, there is a
large amount of data.  However, this does not always
mean that you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.

Indicates the approximate point where the disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates which layer
is being read (“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 72 (DVD).
