Setting for Digital Cinema Sound Z

Select the mode to enjoy multichannel surround sound such as Dolby Digital and MPEG.

Even if you connect only front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.

You can feel the more effective 3D sound when you connect a receiver (amplifier) with digital (optical or coaxial) input, 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 center speaker and 1 subwoofer.

Select “VES” after pressing DISPLAY. When you select the item except “OFF,” the indicator of the ”VES” lights in green.

Notes

•You cannot select “VES” when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

•In case that the player outputs the signal from OPTICAL and COAXIAL , the surround effect will be heard only when you set “MPEG” to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

•Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you cannot get the 3D surround effect.

•When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.

•When the playing signal does not contain the surround component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A” or ”VES B.”

•Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A” or “VES B.”

•When you connect a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the subwoofer.

•When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” set the surround settings of the connected units such as the amplifier to OFF.
