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 “EX/ES/PLIIx: OFF” and when playing back the software including the following signals:

–Dolby Digital Surround EX

–DTS-ES

–Dolby Digital or DTS with more than 4-channels

Virtual Surround Back is activated when one of the Surround modes is selected.
