Playback Modes
TV SURROUND
This mode produces surround sound even for mono or stereo TV sources. It is useful for old movies. A mono TV signal will be able to approximate the effect of overall surround sound.
GAME
Use this mode when playing a video game. It works especially well with sound moving from left to right in such software as racing games, shooting games, and those kind of games with movement in them.
VIRTUAL Surround Back (VIRTL SB)
This mode is especially designed to simulate surround back channels for sources that don’t have them. It emulates the effect of surround back speakers in your listening space.
EXPANDED
This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to Dolby Surround sources. The overall effect expands the sound, giving a dynamic and broad sound to these sources while allowing a faithful reproduction of five speaker sound.
5-CH STEREO (5 STEREO)
This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to Stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing a reproduction with five speakers.
Selecting a Listening Mode
Choose a listening mode that suits the soundtrack you are listening to or achieves the effect you want, as explained on the previous page. It will probably be necessary for you to experiment with different modes until you find ones which suit your tastes.
