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

Even if you connect only a TV, front speakers or use a 2+1 channel connection, Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES) lets you enjoy 3D sound by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L:left, R:right) without using actual rear speakers.

The surround sound signals are output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

When you select a surround mode, the player does not output the following signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.

•Dolby Digital signals (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM”)

•MPEG AUDIO signals

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