Using Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP programs without surround speakers by creating
virtual speakers.
If you set “SURR”

to “

NONE” (see page 54), Virtual

CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP program (see page 31).

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SURR” is set
to “NONE” (see page 54) in the following cases:

– When “2CH STEREO” (see page 31) is selected or when this

unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode.

– When the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT

jacks is selected as the input source (see page 25).

– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

Listening to unprocessed input signals

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 AMP on the remote control and then
STRAIGHT to select “STRAIGHT”.

To deactivate the “STRAIGHT” mode, press
STRAIGHT on the remote control again so
that “STRAIGHT” disappears from the front
panel display.

The sound field program is turned back on.

You can also select “STRAIGHT” by pressing STRAIGHT
