In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room. With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there's too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb. 9$/*10 ;9$ / Note *1 Based on the audio channels contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound. *2 If there are no surround back speakers, or Powered Zone 2 is being used, Dolby Pro Logic II is used. *3 Surround back and front wide speakers are not supported. *4 Front high and front wide speakers are not supported. *5 For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system. *6 AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN.
