Sound field programs

■Using sound field programs without surround speakers

(Virtual CINEMA DSP)

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

When you set “Surround” to “None” (see page 92), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field program (see page 45).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “Surround” is set to “None” (see page 92) in the following cases:

–when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 42).

–when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

–when this unit is in the “7ch stereo” mode.

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

(SILENT CINEMA)

SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel music or movie sound 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 45). When activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel display.

Notes

•SILENT CINEMA does not activate when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 42).
