Using Virtual Surround Back (VSB)
When you’re not using surround back speaker,
selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual
surround back channel through your surround
speakers. You can choose to listen to sources
with no surround back channel information, or
if the material sounds better in the format (for
example, 5.1) for which it was originally
encoded, you can have the receiver only apply
this effect to 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES.
