the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without

◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are

unaffected. This feature is useful when you 
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the 
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at 
low volume.

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.

• 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.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 

COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY 
DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” and “DTS” 
to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come 
from your speakers but it will not have the 
SURROUND effect.

• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast 

Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can 
change the TVS modes.
