VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION
Uses 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 five sets of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at
approximately a 30
°
angle of elevation. The
effect differs according to
“
REAR
”
or
“
SIDE
”
setting of the rear speakers (page 80).

You can select
“
SURROUND
”
directly by
pressing SURROUND. Each time you press the
button, the item changes. If you select any setting
other than
“
OFF,
”
the SURROUND indicator on the
player lights up.
