When playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, 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, or VIDEO CDs, you can select the sound from 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.

Checking the audio signal format
If you press AUDIO repeatedly during playback, the format of the current audio signal (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) appears as shown below.

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 (COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when �DOLBY DIGITAL� is set to �D-PCM� in �AUDIO SETUP� (page 68).

To cancel the setting

Select �OFF� in Step 2. �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.
� 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.
