Digital Cinema Sound Settings
Select a mode to enjoy multichannel surround sound such
as Dolby Digital.
Even if you connect only a stereo TV or front speakers,
Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES) lets you enjoy 3D
sound by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear
speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R:
right) without using actual rear speakers.
The surround sound signals are output from the AUDIO
OUT connectors. These signals are not output from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.
When you select a surround mode, the player does not
output the Dolby Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector if you set “DOLBY
DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM.”
Select “VES” after pressing DISPLAY. When you select
any item except “OFF,” the ”VES” indicator lights up in
green.
