Listening with a virtual surround back speaker

• Default setting: Vir. SB Off

The Virtual Surround Back feature can be used when listening in surround sound (using the 5- spot setup described in Home theater sound setup on page 16) to simulate an added

28

surround back channel. In a real theater the surround back speaker would be directly behind you, creating more cohesive and realistic surround sound.

Note

You can’t use Virtual Surround Back when using the Stereo listening mode (or Auto with stereo sources).

If you are using the The Front surround 3- spot setup (see Home theater sound setup on page 16), switch the Virtual Surround Back feature off.

If there is no surround channel, Virtual Surround Back has no effect.

Using Quiet and Midnight listening modes

• Default setting: Off

The Quiet listening feature reduces excessive bass or treble in a sound source. You can use this feature if the music is a little bit harsh and you would like a smoother sound.
