Creating 3-dimensional sound fields
(p.62)
Connecting presence speakers allows you to create a natural
3-dimensional sound field in your own room (CINEMA DSP
3D). Even when no presence speakers are connected, the
Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) function produces 3D
surround sound. In addition, the unit creates Virtual
Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the surround speakers
to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field even when no
surround back speakers are connected.
