Advanced Surround modes
These are designed to be used with multi-
channel surround sound audio/visual sources
(like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround
modes are designed to be used with film
soundtracks, but some modes are also suited
for music sources. Try different settings with
various soundtracks to see which you like.
Depending on the source, the 6.1 channel
setting (page 40), and the sound mode you have
selected, you may not get sound from the
surround back speakers in your setup. For more
on this, refer to the table below.
Movie
Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie
theater, and is suitable for watching movies.
Music
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large
concert hall and is suitable for music or
musical sources.
Virtual Surround Back (VIRTL SB)
The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates 7.1
surround channel listening, giving the impres-
sion that there are two surround back speakers
in your system when listening to a 5.1 channel
source.
Expanded
This mode is especially designed to give sound
depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear two-
channel (stereo) signals as simulated multi-
channel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro
Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also
use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider
stereo field than the Standard modes.
5-Channel Stereo (VSX-D711)
This can be selected to give multi-channel
sound to a stereo source, using all of the
speakers in your setup.
6-Channel Stereo (VSX-D811S)
This can be selected to give multi-channel
sound to a stereo source, using all of the
speakers in your setup.
