VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses 3D 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 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at approximately a 30˚ angle of elevation. The effect differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 56).

Notes
•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, the 3D surround effects may be difficult to hear.
•Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with the listening position at the top. Otherwise the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A,” ”VES B” or
“VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.”
•When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. However, when you select “VES TV,” “VES A,” ”VES B” or “VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION,” the player does not output the sound from the center speaker.
•When you select one of the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND modes, set the surround setting of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to OFF.
•The sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.
•If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors, the surround effect will not be heard when you play a CD.
•When you connect 4 speakers, the surround effect will not be heard if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors.
