■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.

If you set “SUR. LR” to NONE (see page 50), Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when “SUR. LR” is set to NONE (see page 50) in the following cases:

– When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.

– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

2ch Stereo

You can use a subwoofer with this program when SWFR or BOTH is selected in “BASS OUT”.
