Using Various Functions with the Control Menu
NORMAL SURROUND
Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to create surround effects.
The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds.
If you are using a center speaker, Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) will also create the appropriate sounds for the
center speaker.
ENHANCED SURROUND
Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby
Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel
signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.
VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT
Uses 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear
speakers away from the actual speaker position. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below. The shift postion differs according to
the setting of the rear speaker position (page 66).
SIDE REAR
VIRTUAL MULTI REAR
Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear
speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers. The
virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the
illustration below. The position of the virtual rear
speakers differs according to the setting of the rear
speaker position (page 66).
SIDE REAR
VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear
speaker positions higher than the listener from a single
pair of actual rear speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of
virtual speakers surrounding the listener at
approximately a 30˚ angle of elevation. The effect differs
according to the setting of the rear speaker position
(page 66).

Notes
• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear
speakers, the 3D surround effects may be difficult to hear.
• When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can
also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer.
However, when you select “VES TV,” “VES A,” ”VES B” or
“VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION,” the player does not
output the sound from the center speaker.
• When you select one of the VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND modes,
set the surround setting of the connected units, such as the
amplifier, to OFF.
• The sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz when a
VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.
• If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL
OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) connectors, the surround effect
will not be heard when you play a CD.
• Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle with the
listening position at the top. Otherwise, the effects may be
difficult to hear even if you select “VES A,” ”VES B” or
“VIRTUAL SEMI MULTI DIMENSION.”
• When you connect 4 speakers, the surround effect will not be
heard if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
connectors.
