SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

■Using Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA DSP programs without surround speakers by creating virtual speakers.

If you set “SURR” to “NONE” (see page 54), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP program (see page 31).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SURR” is set to “NONE” (see page 54) in the following cases:

–When “2CH STEREO” (see page 31) is selected or when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode.

–When the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 25).

–When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

■Listening to unprocessed input signals

When this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode, multi- channel sources are decoded straight into the appropriate channels without any additional effect processing. 2- channel stereo sources are output from only the front left and right speakers.
