reproduction with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source
material, Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS is

All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and
right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
Virtual Surround
Your receiver is able to reproduce one or more forms of virtual
surround sound. Virtual surround gives a more real life sound
impression by creating phantom speakers in addition to or
instead of real speakers. The position of the listener
influences the surround effect. The area where the effect is
best is shown in grey.
The level of virtual surround sound effect can be adjusted in
the setup menu. The following surround sound modes are
available:
No rear speakers are needed. The sound of the rear channel
is simulated by the front speakers. Surround sound is
simulated through the front left, front right and center
speakers.
Phantom speakers are created next to the ieft and right front
speakers.

sleeping children or neighbors. Night mode only works with
