Listening with virtual surround back
speakers
• Default setting: VIRTUAL SB OFF
If you don't have real surround back speakers connected,
you can use the Virtual Surround Back feature to
simulate one.
Sometimes the material may sound better in the 5.1
format for which it was originally encoded. In this case
you can have the receiver only apply this effect to 6.1
encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES (VSB
AUTO), or you can simply switch it off (VSB OFF).
Note that this feature only works when the surround
channels are active and the surround back speaker is set
to NO in Speaker Systems on page 57. It is also available
when the speaker system has been set to SP AB (see
Switching the speaker system on page 80).
See also Using the surround back channel above.
•
Press SB CH MODE repeatedly to cycle through
the virtual surround back channel options.
The remote control menu for this step is shown below
(see note at the start of this chapter if you need help).
