■Using sound field programs without

surround speakers (Virtual CINEMA DSP)

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

If you set “SUR. LR” to “NONE” (see page 45), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP program (see page 31).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SUR. LR” is set to “NONE” (see page 45) in the following cases:

–when “5ch Stereo” (see page 31) is selected.

–when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

Sound field programs

■Enjoying multi-channel sources and sound field programs with headphones

(SILENT CINEMA)

SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS sources, through ordinary headphones. SILENT CINEMA activates automatically whenever you connect headphones to the PHONES jack while listening to CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field programs (see page 31). When activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel display.

Note

SILENT CINEMA does not activate when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 28).

■Enjoying unprocessed input sources

(Straight decoding mode)

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.

Press BSTRAIGHT (or press D AMP and then

SSTRAIGHT) to select “STRAIGHT”.

To deactivate the “STRAIGHT” mode, press

BSTRAIGHT (or S STRAIGHT) again so that “STRAIGHT” disappears from the front panel display.
