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 24.

Virtual Surround Back
This function creates the great surround effect from the 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:
– Dolby Digital Surround EX
– DTS-ES
– Dolby Digital or DTS with 4-channels or more
