When playing a DVD VIDEO, DATA DVD 
(DivX video files), or DATA CD (DivX 
video files) recorded in multiple audio 
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, 
or DTS), you can change the audio format. If 
the DVD VIDEO is recorded with 
multilingual tracks, you can also change the 
language.
With CDs, DATA CDs/DATA DVD, or 
VIDEO CDs, you can select the sound from 
either the right or left channel and listen to the 
sound of the selected channel through both 
the right and left speakers. For example, when 
playing a disc containing a song with the 
vocals on the right channel and the 
instruments on the left channel, you can hear 
the instruments from both speakers by 
selecting the left channel.

The following display appears.

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” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 71).

The following display appears.

See the explanations given for each item 
in the following section.
• TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
• TVS DYNAMIC
• TVS  WIDE
• TVS NIGHT
• TVS STANDARD

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.
