■ Using sound field programs without
surround speakers
(Virtual CINEMA DSP)
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP programs without surround speakers by creating
virtual speakers.
If you set "SUR. L/R SP" to "NONE" (see page 51),
Virtual CINEMA DSP is automatically activated
whenever you select a CINEMA DSP program
(see page 37).
Note
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not be activated even when
"SUR. L/R SP" is set to "NONE" (see page 51) in the following
cases:
– when "5ch Stereo" (see page 37) is selected.
– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
■ Enjoying multi-channel sources and
sound field programs with headphones
(SILENT CINEMA)
SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel
music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS
sources, through ordinary headphones. SILENT CINEMA
is automatically activated whenever you connect
headphones to the PHONES jack while listening to
CINEMA DSP sound field programs (except for 5ch
Stereo) (see page 37). When activated, the SILENT
CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel display.

■ Enjoying unprocessed input sources

(Straight decoding mode)
When this unit is in the "STRAIGHT" mode, multi-
channel sources are decoded straight into the appropriate
channels without any additional effect processing. 2-
channel stereo sources are output from only the front left
and right speakers.
Press H STRAIGHT (or press 4 AMP and then
press B STRAIGHT) to select "STRAIGHT".
To deactivate the "STRAIGHT" mode, press
H STRAIGHT (or press 4 AMP and then
B STRAIGHT) again so that "STRAIGHT" disappears
from the front panel display.
