Basic Operation
VIRTUAL SURROUND BACK Mode
The VIRTUAL SURROUND BACK mode emulates surround back channels through your surround speakers. You
must have chosen NORMAL SYSTEM in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setting (see page 37); have SURROUND
speakers set to something other than NO, and have chosen NO for the SURROUND BACK speakers in
SPEAKER SETTING (see page 40-41) to use this mode. To accomplish the same settings, you could have had
the AUTO SURROUND SETUP automatically set the SURROUND speakers on and the SURROUND BACK
speakers off (see pages 13-15) to use this mode.
