| With this mode you can enjoy a virtual | A | ZXC | |||
| Dimensional)*1 | surround sound even with only two or three | S | 
 | ||
| 
 | 
 | speakers. This works by controlling how | D | 
 | |
| 
 | T – D | 
 | 
 | ||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. | F |

 | Good results may not be possible if there’s | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | too much reverb, so we recommend that you | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | use this mode in an environment with little | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | or no natural reverb. |
