■Virtual CINEMA DSP and SILENT CINEMA DSP

You can experience the virtual CINEMA DSP sound field by setting “1C REAR L/R SP” on the SET MENU to NONE. The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode according to the selected DSP program. Virtual CINEMA DSP is performed by using the main speakers. You can also listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP by connecting your headphones to the PHONES jack while the digital sound field processor is on.
