• Depending on the type of disc being played, the 

disc text or track name may not be displayed.

• The player can only display the first level of the 

disc text, such as the disc name or title.

• Playing time of MP3 audio tracks and DivX video 

files may not be displayed correctly.

•  If you play a disc containing JPEG image files 

only, “NO AUDIO DATA” appears when 
“MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to “AUTO,” 
“JPEG” appears when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is 
set to “IMAGE (JPEG)” in the front panel display.

When playing a DVD VIDEO or DATA CD/
DATA DVD (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 DVDs 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.

You can enjoy surround sounds while playing 
discs including Dolby Digital, DTS and 
MPEG audio DVDs, even if you have only 2 
or 4 speakers. Select the surround mode that 
best suits your speaker setup.

The following display appears.

See the explanations given for each item 
in the following section.
◆ For 2 speaker setups
• TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
• TVS DYNAMIC
• TVS  WIDE
• TVS NIGHT
• TVS STANDARD
◆ For 4 to 6 speaker setups
(If you select “NONE” in the setting of 
“REAR” in “SPEAKER SETUP” 
(page 80), you cannot select these 
modes.)
• NORMAL SURROUND
• ENHANCED SURROUND
• VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
• VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
• VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION

Select “OFF” in step 2.

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 sound track.
If the player is set up to output the signal from 
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 
COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack, the surround 
effect will only be heard when “DOLBY 
DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” 
and “MPEG” is set to “PCM” in “AUDIO 
SETUP” (page 78).
◆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.
