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)
• Centre
• 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
Notes
• If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
(page 61) the DTS track selection option will not 
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 
tracks.
• MPEG audio signals with more than two channels 
will appear as shown above (3/2.1, 2/1), but only 
the Front (L) and Front (R) signals will be output 
from your two front speakers.
TV Virtual Surround 
Settings
(TVS)
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 soundtrack. Furthermore, if the 
player is set up to output the signal from the 
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) 
jack, the surround effect will only be heard 
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-
PCM” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in 
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 61).

To cancel the setting
Select “OFF” in step 2.
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 dialogue 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. 
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 
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.
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast 
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can 
change the TVS modes.
