vour own home. "5.1 chanilel" stands for the 2 front speakers (Left and

Right), 2 rear speakers (Left and Right), 1 center speaker, and a subwoofer.

Even if you have fewer than 6 speakers, tile player appropriately distributes the output signal to the speakers.

This player also has a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode. You can use 3D sound imaging to shift the sound of the

rear speakers away from the actual speaker position (VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT) or to create 3 sets of virtual rear

speakers from 1 set of actual rear speakers (VIRTUAL MULTI REAR, etc.). For details on the VIRTUAL 3D

SURROUND mode, see page 34.
