Enjoying Sound with Specific Speakers

You can enjoy movies or music with various sound effects produced by the specified speakers.

Enjoying 6.1/5.1ch sources with all speakers including a virtual speaker (Matrix 6.1)

You can use Matrix 6.1 to produce virtual surround back sound from your left and right surround speakers, creating a realistic sense of surround back sound (sound that travels from directly in front of the listening position to directly in back of it). When you play a 6.1ch source such as a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES disc, you can enjoy Dolby Digital plus Matrix 6.1 or DTS plus Matrix 6.1 sounds without adjusting any settings. Also, you can enjoy 5.1 channel sources with Matrix 6.1.
