• You cannot select "VES" when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set
to "DOLBY DIGITAL" in "AUDIO SETUP."
• In case that the player outputs the signal from OPTICAL

when you set "MPEG" to "PCM" in "AUDIO SETUP."
• 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."
• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with
the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to
hear even if you select "VES A" or "VES B."
• When you select "VES A" or "VES B," set the surround
settings of the connected units, such as the amplifier, to
