DSP programs without rear speakers. It creates the virtual
speakers to reproduce the natural sound field.
The sound field processing is changed to the Virtual
CINEMA DSP mode according to the selected DSP
program by setting “1C REAR L/R SP” on the SET
MENU to NONE.
Note

“1C REAR L/R SP” is set to NONE in the following cases:
– when the 6ch Stereo, DOLBY DIGITAL Normal, Pro Logic
Normal, Pro Logic , DTS Normal or Neo: 6 program is
selected;
– when the sound effect is turned off;

– when using the test tone; or
– when connecting the headphones.
SILENT CINEMA DSP
You can enjoy the powerful sound field as if there were
actual speakers with the SILENT CINEMA DSP. You can
listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP by connecting your
headphones to the PHONES jack while the digital sound
field processor is on. Enjoy all the DSP program using the
headphones. The “SILENT” indicator lights up on the
front panel display. (If the sound effect is off, you listen to
the source with normal stereo reproduction.)
