Marantz SR-8400 question

[georgy-]

I have the SR-8400 hooked up to two ADS speakers.

Does it harm the speakers if I have it on "Virtual" instead of "Stereo". Virtual sounds quite a bit better than stereo.

Virtual what?

Hey Dave,

It's a setting for "surround mode". https://www.manualslib.com/manual/99052/Marantz-Sr8400.html?page=28#manual

I've learned that auto and virtual sound the best. I think virtual sounds the best most often though.

 

[thxdave]

I'm a bit surprised that they will apply a fake "virtual" effect with only two speakers. Usually, that's reserved for multi-speaker setups. You won't hurt anything by using the Virtual effect....other than imaging.
