Surround Back Channel Modes
Surround Back Channel Mode
The SB CH MODE makes available surround back channels through your surround back speakers. You must have
chosen NORMAL SYSTEM in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setting (see page 37) and have SURROUND and
SURROUND BACK speakers set to something other than NO (see page 39) to use this feature. To accomplish the
same settings, you could have had the AUTO SURROUND SETUP automatically set the SURROUND and the
SURROUND BACK speakers on (see page 13).
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 39) 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 page 13) to use this
mode.

modes.
• This feature cannot be used when playing source signals greater than 88.2kHz over a digital connection.
