Using the Virtual Surround Back
mode (VSB)
Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual
back channel through your surround speakers.
For example, you can choose to listen to
sources with no surround back channel infor-
mation (for example, 5.1 encoded material)
with emulated 6.1 encoding (
VSB ON
). Some-
times 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
)
or
(VSX-515 model only)
have the receiver only
apply this effect to 6.1 encoded sources like
Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES (
VSB AUTO
).
