Selecting a Sound Field Program

You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP sound field program. The 25 DSP sound field programs are divided into 12 DSP program groups.

10KEY/DSP

6.1/ES

If you want to utilize the Rear Center speaker with a 5.1 channel program source, press 6.1/

ES.

Hi-Fi DSP Programs

1Set 10KEY/DSP on the remote to DSP.

2Press the DSP button on main unit and rotate the Multi jog knob to select the desired sound field program.

Notes:

•If a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is input when the input mode is set to “AUTO”, the sound field program automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

•Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.

•When you select an input source, the main unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with that source.

•When you turn off the main unit, the current source and sound field program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.

•When high rate 96 kHz sampling digital signals are output from source equipment, the DSP sound field cannot operate on the source sounds. In this case, the sounds are reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.

■Virtual CINEMA DSP and HP CINEMA DSP

You can experience the virtual CINEMA DSP sound field by setting the 1C. REAR L/R SP item in the SET MENU to “NONE.” The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual CINEMA DSP mode according to the selected sound field program. The Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the virtual sound fields without Rear speakers. Signals for Rear channels are output from the Main speakers. You can also listen to HP (Headphone) CINEMA DSP by connecting your headphones to the PHONES jack while the DSP sound fields are on. When high rate 96 kHz sampling digital signals are output from source component, the Virtual CINEMA DSP and HP CINEMA DSP cannot operate on the source sounds.

Note:

•This unit is not set in the virtual CINEMA DSP mode even if “1C REAR L/R SP” is set to NONE in the following cases:

–when the 8ch Stereo, DOLBY DIGITAL/Normal or DTS/Normal program is selected;

–when the sound effect is turned off;

–when 6CH INPUT is selected as the input source;

–when 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit;

–when the Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is played;

–when using the test tone; or

–when connecting the headphones.
