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 feature only works when playing a multichannel 
Dolby audio sound track. 

Press 

 + 0 during playback.

The following display appears.

Press 

 + 0 repeatedly to select one of the TVS 

sounds.

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC, TVS 
WIDE

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

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

Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2 
separate speakers.

Select “OFF” in step 2.

• 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 TV.

• Make sure that your listening position is 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.

• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast Play or 

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