■Using sound field programs without surround speakers

(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. When you set “SUR. L/R SP” to “NONE” (see page 81), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program (see page 45).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SUR. L/R SP” is set to “NONE” (see page 81) in the following cases:

–when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 41).

–when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

–when the Pure Direct (see page 50) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see page 51) is selected, or when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode (see page 49).

When activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel display.
