•The virtual surround sound effect does not work with
Karaoke DVDs.
•The virtual surround sound effect may not work with some
Dolby Digital 2,1ch or 3.1ch DVDs. Additionally, this effect
may not work properly with some Dolby Digital DVDs other
than 2.1ch or 3.1ch, depending on the software.
•Turn off the TV surround sound and other surround sound
effects when using this virtual surround sound effect.
For your reference:
•The VSS indicator lights up when the Dolby Digital DVD is
played back with the virtual surround sound effect.
•For optimum effect, it is recommended that the distance be­
tween the TV set and the listening position be about 3 to
4 times the distance between the right and left front speakers
(only in the case of VSS for external speakers).
