Uses 3D sound imaging to create 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.
VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at a 30˚ angle of
elevation.
L: Front speaker (left)
R: Front speaker (right)
: Virtual speaker
For 4 (or more) speaker setups
When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers,
you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use
3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers
away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets
of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers.
Select one of the following modes:
NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND,
VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,
VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.
OFF
Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For
example, outputs 2-channel signals for the stereo sound of
a CD or the Dolby Digital and DTS sounds of the DVD.
When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player
appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing
speaker to other speakers.
NORMAL SURROUND
Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects.
The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds.
If you are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the
center speaker.
ENHANCED SURROUND
Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby
Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel
signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.
VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear
speakers away from the actual speaker position. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below. The shift postion differs according to
the setting of the rear speaker position (page 68).
SIDE REAR
VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear
speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below. The position of the virtual rear
speakers differs according to the setting of the rear
speaker position (page 68).
