Notes
Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you
cannot get the 3D surround effect.
When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a
moment.
When the playing signal does not contain the
surround component, the effects may be difficult to
hear even if you select “VES A” or “VES B”.
The sound does not come from the rear speakers
when you set “VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND” to
“VES A” or “VES B” in the Control Menu display
even if you have connected rear speakers.
Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle
including the listening position, or the effects may
be difficult to hear even if you select “VES A” or
“VES B”.
In case that the player outputs the signal from
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL, the surround effect will
be heard only when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to
“D-PCM”.
When you play a sound track with a 96 kHz
sampling frequency, be sure to select “OFF”, or the
output signals will be converted to 48 kHz
(sampling frequency). (Except when the player
outputs the audio signal from DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL.)
When you connect a center speaker and a
subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the
center speaker and the subwoofer.
When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” the player
does not output the sound from the center speaker.
When you select monaural sound (1/L or 2/R) while
playing CD or VIDEO CD, “VIRTUAL 3D
SURROUND” mode switched off.
