Notes
• 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.”
• If you connect the front speakers only, “NORMAL
SURROUND,” ”ENHANCED SURROUND,” ”VIRTUAL
REAR SHIFT” and “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR” cannot be
selected.
• The sound does not come from the rear speakers when you set
“VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND” to “VES A” or “VES B” in the
Control Menu display even if you have connected rear
speakers.
• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including
the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to hear
even if you select “VES A” or “VES B.”
• In case that the player outputs the signal from DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL), the surround effect will be heard only
when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” and “MPEG”
to “PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP.”
• When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequency,
be sure to select “OFF,” or the output signals will be converted
to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). (Except when the player
outputs the audio siginal from DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL,
COAXIAL))
• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can
also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer.
When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” the player does not
ouput the sound from the center speaker.
• When you select “VES A” or “VES B,” set the surround settings
of the connected units such as the amplifier to OFF.
