Using sound field programs without
surround speakers
(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.
When you set “Surround” to
“
None” (see page 97), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program (see page 47).
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “Surround” is
set to “None” (see page 97) in the following cases:
– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks is selected as the input source (see page 43).
– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– when the Pure Direct (see page 52) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see
page 53) is selected, or when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT”
mode (see page 51).

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
activates automatically whenever you connect headphones
to the PHONES jack while listening to CINEMA DSP or
HiFi DSP sound field programs (see page 47). When
activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the
front panel display.
• SILENT CINEMA does not activate when the component
connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the
input source (see page 43).
• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when the Pure Direct (see
page 52) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see page 53) is selected, or
when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode (see page 51).
When this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode, 2-channel
stereo sources are output from only the front left and right
speakers. Multi-channel sources are decoded straight into
the appropriate channels without any additional effect
processing.
y
You can also select the “STRAIGHT” mode by using GUI screen.
See page 79 for details.
Press STRAIGHT on the front panel (or on the
remote control) to select “STRAIGHT”.
■
Deactivating the “STRAIGHT” mode
Press STRAIGHT on the remote control so that
“STRAIGHT” disappears from the front panel
display.
The sound effect is turned back on.
