VSM (VIRTUAL SOUND MATRIX) and Dolby Pro Logic II
You can select the Dolby Pro Logic II or Virtual sound. Press VSM to set the vir-
tual sound or to change sound mode repeatedly.
[BYPASS] mode: Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
2Ch source
[PL II MOVIE] mode: The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows
and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound
field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings.
[PL II MATRIX] mode: The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode
except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to
enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may
also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo
reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic
decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.
[ON STAGE] mode: Simulates a large Concert hall
[VIRTUAL] mode: Realtime 3D positioned sound rendering technology with
stereo sources, optimized for stereo speakers. Listeners may experience
amazing virtual surround effects with their own multimedia players.
5.1Ch source
[VIRTUAL] mode: The Multichannel sound changes the sound in 5.1 ch into a
virtual one in the 10.1 ch so that it provides such a feeling that you listen to
the sound simultaneously from the right and left speakers and center speak-
er.
