� 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 49), the surround effects may be difficult to hear. 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. 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 or OPTICAL) jack, sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.
