About the “VIRTUAL MATRIX 6.1” playback

Though this receiver incorporates the 5.1 channel amplifier, you can reproduce the 6.1 channel surround sound of the sources encoded in 6.1 channel (page 31).

To enjoy “VIRTUAL MATRIX 6.1” playback most effectively, use the 6.1CH DECODING function when you select “CINEMA STUDIO EX A-C” or “SEMI CINEMA STUDIO EX A-C”. The sound characteristics of CINEMA STUDIO and the 3D sound imaging create the virtual surround back speaker, and you can enjoy the surround effect as if in the real theater. You can select AUTO/ON/OFF using the 6.1CH DECODING button (page 51).
