Using Virtual Surround Back
(VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a
virtual surround back channel through your
surround speakers. For example, you can
choose to listen to sources with no surround
back channel information (for example, 5.1
encoded material) with emulated 6.1
encoding (
VSB ON
). Sometimes the material
may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it
was originally encoded. In this case you can
simply switch it off (
VSB OFF
).

material)
•
VSB OFF

switched off
