Using the Virtual Surround Back
mode (VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual
surround back channel through your surround
speakers. For example, you can choose to
listen to sources with no surround back
channel information (for example, 5.1 encoded
material) with emulated 6.1 encoding (
VSB
ON
). Sometimes the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was origi-
nally encoded. In this case you can simply
switch it off (
VSB OFF
).

Depending on the input signal and the
Listening Mode, the Virtual Surround Back
mode may not be effective.
• Press
VSB MODE
(front panel) to select a
virtual surround back channel option.
Each press cycles through the options as
follows:
•
VSB ON
– Virtual Surround Back is always
used (for example, on 5.1 encoded
material)
•
VSB OFF
– Virtual Surround Back mode is
switched off
Listening in stereo
When you select
STEREO
or
DIRECT
, you will
hear the source through just the front left and
right speakers.
Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources
are downmixed to stereo.
• While listening to a source, press
STEREO
for stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
•
STEREO
– The audio is heard with your
surround settings and you can still use the
Midnight, Loudness, and Tone functions.
•
DIRECT
– Bypass all effects and surround
settings so that the audio remains as close
to the source audio signal as possible.
