ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

Using Virtual CINEMA DSP

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

If you set “SUR. L/R SP” to “NONE” (see page 78), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program (see page 66).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SUR. L/R SP” is set to “NONE” (see page 78) in the following cases:

–when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 38).

–when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

–when the “DIRECT STEREO” (see page 39), “2ch Stereo” (see page 39) or “STRAIGHT” mode (see page 39) is selected.
