For 2 speaker setups

When you connect only 2 front speakers, Virtual Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects 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. Select one of the following modes:

VES TV, VES A, VES B, VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connector, the surround effect will be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” and “MPEG” to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital and MPEG audio sound of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) B

VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at a 30˚ angle of elevation.

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers. Select one of the following modes:

NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND, VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.

OFF

Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital and MPEG audio sound of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6 speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.
