2-Speaker Settings

The following options are available when you select the 2 Speaker environment in the Audio Configuration function.

Note: Selecting the Stereo or Dolby Surround Compatible Downmix output modes opens the Miscellaneous tab. For more information, see Miscellaneous.

Dolby Virtual Speaker (Optional)

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology allows you to experience virtual surround sound through 2 speakers. Reference mode creates convincingly realistic five-speaker surround sound from two speakers with the apparent width of the sound across the front image defined by the distance between the two speakers. Wide 1 mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are close together. Wide 2 mode is similar to Wide 1 but further emphasizes the surround speakers.
