Digital Cinema Sound Settings
For 2 speaker setups
When you connect only 2 front speakers, Virtual
Enhanced Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects
by using 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right)
without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the
following modes:
VES TV, VES A, VES B, VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI
DIMENSION.
If the player is set up to output the signal from the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connector, the
surround effect will be heard only when you set "DOLBY
DIGITAL" to "D-PCM," and "MPEG" to "PCM" in
"AUDIO SETUP."
OFF
Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For
example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the
CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital and MPEG
audio sound of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6
speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output
signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) TV
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. This mode is effective when the
distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such
as built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at a 30˚ angle of
elevation.

For 4 (or more) speaker setups
When you connect 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers,
you can enjoy Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds, or use
3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers
away from the actual speaker position or create entire sets
of virtual rear speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers.
Select one of the following modes:
NORMAL SURROUND, ENHANCED SURROUND,
VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT, VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,
VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION.
OFF
Outputs all channel signals recorded on the disc. For
example, outputs 2-channel signals for stereo sound of the
CD or 5.1-channel signals for Dolby Digital and MPEG
audio sound of the DVD. When you connect fewer than 6
speakers, the player appropriately distributes the output
signal for the missing speaker to other speakers.
