Listening with a virtual
surround back speaker

• Default setting:

Vir. SB Off

The Virtual Surround Back feature can be used
when listening in surround sound (using the 5-
spot setup described in

Placing the speakers

on

page 11) to simulate an added surround back
channel. In a real theater the surround back
speaker would be directly behind you, creating
more cohesive and realistic surround sound.

Press VIR. SB (SHIFT + ADVANCED)

repeatedly to switch between ‘Vir. SB On’
and ‘Vir. SB Off’.

• You can’t use Virtual Surround Back when

using the

Stereo

listening mode (or

Auto

with stereo sources).

• If you are using the The Front surround 3-

spot setup (see

Placing the speakers

on

page 11), switch the Virtual Surround
Back feature off.

• If there is no surround channel, Virtual

Surround Back has no effect.

Using Quiet and Midnight
listening modes

• Default setting:

Off

The Quiet listening feature reduces excessive
bass or treble in a sound source. You can use
this feature if the music is a little bit harsh and
you would like a smoother sound.

The Midnight listening feature allows you to
hear effective surround sound of movies at low
volume levels. The effect automatically adjusts
according to the volume at which you’re
listening.

Press QUIET/MIDNIGHT repeatedly to

switch between ‘Quiet’, ‘Midnight’ and
‘Off’.
