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 Surround to None (see page 84), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP is ineffective even if Surround is set to
None (see page 84) 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
You can combine images from a video source with sound
from an audio source. For example, you can listen to
classical music while enjoying beautiful scenery from the
video source on the video monitor.
Press one of the input selector buttons on the
remote control to select a video source and then
select an audio source.
If you want to enjoy an audio source connected to the
MULTI CH INPUT jacks together with a video source, first select
the video source and then press MULTI CH INPUT on the front
panel or on the remote control.

• We recommend using AUTO in most cases.
• You can designate the default input mode to be selected when
the power of this unit is turned on (see page 30).
• This feature is not available if no digital input jacks (OPTICAL,
COAXIAL and HDMI) are assigned. In addition, HDMI is not
available as an input mode if HDMI IN 1 and HDMI IN 2 jacks
are not assigned. Use I/O Assignment in Input Select to reassign
the respective input jacks (see page 74).
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you
make a digital connection between this unit and the player.
• If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the decoder
automatically switches to the appropriate sound field program.
• The input jacks not assigned are not available as input modes.
