Virtual CINEMA DSP
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP programs without surround speakers. It creates
virtual speakers to reproduce a natural sound field.
If you set SUR. L/R SP to NONE (see page 76), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP is ineffective even if SUR. L/R SP is set to
NONE (see page 76) in the following cases:
– If MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
– If headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

Playing video sources in the
background

select an audio source.
If you want to enjoy an audio source connected to the

the video source and then press MULTI CH INPUT on the front
panel or on the remote control.
