Changing the Sound

When playing a DVD recorded in multiple
audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG
audio, or DTS), you can change the audio

multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With CDs, DATA CDs, or VIDEO CDs, you
can select the sound from the right or left
channel and listen to the sound of the selected

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.

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.
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” and “MPEG” is set to
“PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 69).

Press SUR during playback.

◆

TVS DYNAMIC

Creates 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 virtual rear speakers from the sound
of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are
reproduced as shown in the illustration
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 the quieter sounds 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.

◆

TVS STANDARD

Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound
of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are
reproduced as shown in the illustration
below. Use this setting when you want to use
TVS with 2 separate speakers.

Hints

• You can also select “TVS” by pressing

SURROUND button on the player.

• You can also select “TVS” from the Control

Menu (page 12).

Notes

• 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.

• When you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals
and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO
SETUP,” no sound will come from your speakers
if you select one of the TVS modes.
