You can enjoy virtual 3D sound even without rear
speakers when you use the “VES (Virtual Enhanced
Surround)” mode in the on-screen menu of the DVP-
F11.
Some Sony DVD players other than the DVP-F11 also
have the VES mode option. If you cannot hear the
sound from the subwoofer even if you select VES
mode, connect your DVD player to the AUX IN jacks of
the subwoofer.

• You cannot select “VES” when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set
to “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP.”
• In case that the player outputs the signal from OPTICAL
and COAXIAL, the surround effect will be heard only
when you set “MPEG” to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”
• Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you
cannot get the 3D surround effect.
• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain the surround
component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you
select “VES A” or “VES B.”
• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with
the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to
hear even if you select “VES A” or “VES B.”
• When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” set the surround
settings of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to
