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 function is designed to work with the LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks. Note that if you select one of the TVS settings, the player does not output Dolby Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack. (when you set �DOLBY DIGITAL� in �AUDIO SETUP� to �D-PCM�) (page 62)
