Using Virtual Surround Back (VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual surround back channel through your surround speakers. For example, you can choose to listen to sources with no surround back channel information (for example, 5.1 encoded material) with emulated 6.1 encoding (VSB ON). Sometimes the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally encoded. In this case you can simply switch it off (VSB OFF).2
Depending on the input signal and the Listening Mode, the Virtual Surround Back mode may not be effective.
