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" 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 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.

VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) A
Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using
actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced
as shown in the illustration below.
