Each channel is output from a separate speaker. • Front (L) • Front (R) • Center • Rear (L) • Rear (R) • Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either the Dolby Surround Sound processed signals or the Dolby Digital sound's monaural rear audio signals. • LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal Note If "DTS" is set to "OFF" in "AUDIO SETUP" (page 64) the DTS track selection option will not appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS 40 tracks. 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. This only works when playing a multichannel Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, 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 64).
