TVS DYNAMIC

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers (shown below). The sound imaging effect is distinct and clearly reproduces each aural element of the audio track. This mode is effective when the dist ance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual re ar speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as sho wn 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.

Sound Adjustments

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect only 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effect s 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. Select one of the follo w in g mo de s :

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” and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 82).

continued

TVS STANDARD

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual re ar speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as sho wn in the illustration below. Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers and retain the sound quality.

L : Front speaker (left) R : Front speaker (right)

: Virtual speaker

For 4 (or more) 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 24). 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 en tire 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.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audi o signals is decoded with the Dolby Sur r ound (Pro Logic) decoder to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a centre speaker, the appropriate sounds for the centre speaker will be delivered.

B-1

L R

RSLS

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (P r o Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses sound imaging to shift the so un d of th e rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift position differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 84).

VIRTUAL MULTI REAR

LS RS

Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The position of the virtual rear speakers differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (p age 84).

REAR

LS RS

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION

Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speaker positions higher than the listener from a single pair of actual rear speakers. This mode creates five sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at approximately a 30° angle of elevation. The effect differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (p age 84).

z You can select “SURROUND” directly by

pressing SURROUND. Each time you press the button, the item changes . If you sel ect a ny se tting other than “OFF,” the SURROUND indicator on the player lights up.

Notes

• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH

OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each spe ak er position and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see page 84.

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a

moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for

the rear speakers (page 57), th e surround effects may be difficult to hear.

• When you select “TVS DYNAMIC,” “TVS WIDE,”

“TVS NIGHT”, or “TVS STANDARD,” the player

does not output the sound from the cent re spe aker.

• When you select one of the surround modes, turn off

the surround setting of the conne cted TV or amplifier (receiver).

• If the player is set up to output the signal from the

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the TVS effect will not be heard when you play a CD.

• 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 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) jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to

“DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS” to “DTS,” and “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound

will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.
