Using the Virtual Surround Back
mode (VirtualSB)
When you’re not using surround back speakers,
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
(
VirtualSB ON
). 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 (
VirtualSB AUTO
), or you can simply
switch it off (
VirtualSB OFF
).
The table indicates when you will hear the virtual
surround back channel. (

•
Press EXTENDED MODE (front panel) repeatedly
to cycle the virtual surround back channel options.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:
•
VirtualSB ON
– Virtual Surround Back is always used
(for example, on 5.1 encoded material)
•
VirtualSB AUTO
– Virtual Surround Back is
automatically applied to 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)
•
VirtualSB OFF
– Virtual Surround Back mode is
switched off
Note
• You can’t use the Virtual Surround Back mode with
headphones, or with the
THX
or
STEREO
/
DIRECT
modes.
• You can only use the Virtual Surround Back mode if
the surround speakers are on and the
Surr Back
setting is set to
NO
in the
Speaker Setting
on page 44.
• You can’t hear the virtual surround back channel with
DTS 96kHz/24 bit or PCM 96/88.2kHz sources.
• The Virtual Surround Back mode cannot be applied
to sources that do not have surround channel
information.
