Using V
arious Functions with the Contr
ol Menu
Select the mode to enjoy multi channel surround sound
such as Dolby Digital.
Even if you connect only front speakers, Virtual Enhanced
Surround lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D sound
imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of
the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear
speakers.
When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers,
use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear
speakers away from the actual speaker position
(VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear
speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL
MULTI REAR).
You can feel the more effective 3D sound when you
connect a receiver (amplifier) with 5.1 channel inputs, 2
front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 center speaker and 1
subwoofer.
Select “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND” after pressing
DISPLAY twice. When you select the item except “OFF,”
the indicator of the “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND “ lights in
green.
Note
To enjoy the original Dolby Digital sound through the 5.1CH
OUTPUT connectors, set each speaker position or distance, etc.
For details on setting each speaker, see page 65.
