Notes

•Some 6.1-channel compatible discs do not have a signal (flag) which this unit can automatically detect. When playing these kinds of discs with 6.1-channel, select “Matrix 6.1”.

•6.1-channel playback is not possible even if EX/ES is pressed in the following cases:

1 When “1C REAR L/R SP”is set to “NONE”.

2 When the sound effect is turned off.

3 When the source connected to the 6CH INPUT jack is being played.

4 When Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is being played. 5 When the power of this unit is turned off, the input mode

will be reset to AUTO.

6 When headphones are connected.

■Virtual CINEMA DSP

With the Virtual CINEMA DSP, you can enjoy all the DSP programs without rear speakers. It creates the virtual speakers to reproduce the natural sound field.

The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode according to the selected DSP program by setting “1C REAR L/R SP” on the SET MENU to NONE.

Note

•This unit is not set in the virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if “1C REAR L/R SP” is set to NONE in the following cases:

– when the 6ch Stereo, DOLBY DIGITAL Normal, Pro Logic

Normal, Pro Logic , DTS Normal or Neo: 6 program is selected;

–when the sound effect is turned off;

–when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source;

–when 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit;

–when using the test tone; or

–when connecting the headphones.

■SILENT CINEMA DSP

You can enjoy the powerful sound field as if there were actual speakers with the SILENT CINEMA DSP. You can listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP by connecting your headphones to the PHONES jack while the digital sound field processor is on. Enjoy all the DSP program using the headphones. The “SILENT” indicator lights up on the front panel display. (If the sound effect is off, you listen to the source with normal stereo reproduction.)

Note

•This unit unit is not set in the SILENT CINEMA DSP mode even if the sound effect is on in the following cases:

–when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source

–when over 48-kHz sampling digital signals are being input
