Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speaker positions higher than the listener from a single pair of actual rear speakers.

This mode creates five sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at approximately a 30° angle of elevation. The effect differs according to “REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 86).

zYou can select “SURROUND” directly by

pressing SURROUND. Each time you press the

 

button, the item changes. If you select any setting

 

other than “OFF,” the SURROUND indicator on the

 

player lights up.

 

Notes

To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker position and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see page 86.

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

When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 57), the surround effects may be difficult to hear.

When you select “TVS DYNAMIC,” “TVS WIDE,” “TVS NIGHT”, or “TVS STANDARD,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.

When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).
