L R

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L/R) without using actual rear speakers (shown below).

Notes
� When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a moment. � When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 43), the surround effects may be difficult to hear. � When you select one of the TV modes, turn off the surround setting of 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. Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern. � TVS NIGHT only works with Dolby Digital discs. However, not all discs will respond to the TVS NIGHT function in the same way. � If you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL and OPTICAL) jacks and set �DOLBY DIGITAL� to �DOLBY DIGITAL� in �AUDIO SETUP,� sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

The large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is useful when you don�t want to disturb other people but still want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.
