◆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.

◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are 
suppressed, but quieter sounds are 
unaffected. This feature is useful when you 
want to hear the dialogue and enjoy the 
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at 
low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers 
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.

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 21). 

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 entire 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 audio signals is 
decoded with the Dolby Surround (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.

◆ENHANCED SURROUND
Provides a greater sense of presence from a 
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a 
monaural rear channel signal. Produces a 
stereo like effect in the rear channels.

◆VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
Shifts the sound of the rear speakers away 
from the actual speaker position.
The shift position differs according to 
“REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear 
speakers (page 80).

◆VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
Creates an array of virtual rear speakers from 
a single set of actual rear speakers. 
The position of the virtual rear speakers 
differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” 
setting of the rear speakers (page 80).

◆VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Creates an array of virtual rear speaker 
positions higher than the listener from a 
single set 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 (page 80).

• When you select one of the surround modes, turn 

off the surround setting of the connected TV or 
amplifier (receiver).

• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” 

function in the same way.

• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 

5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker 
position and distance (page 21, 80).

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal 

for the rear speakers, you cannot hear the TVS 
effect.

• When you select one of the TVS modes, the 

player does not output the sound of center 
speaker.

• 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.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or 

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

• The surround effects do not work when using the 

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

If various angles (multi-angles) for a scene 
are recorded on the DVD VIDEO, “

”  

appears in the front panel display. This means

The number of the angle appears on the 
display.

The scene changes to the selected angle.

Depending on the DVD VIDEO, you may not be 
able to change the angles even if multi-angles are 
recorded on the DVD VIDEO.
