VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) B

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below.

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 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.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the center speaker.

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift postion differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 56).
