Using the Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. See the table below.

The numbers inside the parentheses following the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround signals.

For EX/ES/PLIIx setting, see page 23.

About the DSP modes

The following DSP modes are available regardless of incoming signal type.HALL1, HALL2, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER1, THEATER2

If an incoming signal is a multi-channel (2 channel or more) digital signal, “MONO FILM” is not available.

If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>,” “ALL CH STEREO” is not available.

Virtual Surround Back

This function creates a great surround effect from behind as if you have connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

If you have connected (and activated) the surround speakers, you can use Virtual Surround Back without connecting the surround back speaker.

Virtual Surround Back is activated when EX/ES/PLIIx is set to other than “<OFF>” and when playing back the software including the following signals:
