Note

You can use a subwoofer with this program when “SWFR” or “BOTH” is selected in LFE/BASS OUT.

Press STRAIGHT/EFFECT again so that “STRAIGHT” disappears from the display when you want to turn the sound effect back on.

■Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA DSP programs without surround speakers. It creates virtual speakers to reproduce a natural sound field.

If you set SURR L/R SP to “NONE”, Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when SURR L/R SP is set to “NONE” (see page 59) in the following cases:

–When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.

–When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

PLAYBACK

background
