indicator lights up during Direct Stereo mode).

the input source and surround sound settings you use.
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 do not connect surround speakers, Virtual CINEMA
DSP activates automatically whenever you select a
CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Note
When headphones are connected, Virtual CINEMA DSP will not
activate, even when Surround is set to "None" (see page 74).
