Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi- channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Depending on the source, the 6.1 channel setting (page 40), and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to the table below.

Virtual Surround Back (VIRTL SB)

The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates 7.1 surround channel listening, giving the impres- sion that there are two surround back speakers in your system when listening to a 5.1 channel source.

Expanded

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear two- channel (stereo) signals as simulated multi- channel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Standard modes.

Movie

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies.

5-Channel Stereo (VSX-D711)

This can be selected to give multi-channel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.

Music

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.

6-Channel Stereo (VSX-D811S)

This can be selected to give multi-channel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.
