Using sound field programs without
surround speakers
(Virtual CINEMA DSP)
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP or HiFi DSP sound field programs without surround
speakers. It creates virtual speakers to reproduce the
natural sound field.
When you set “Surround” to
“
None” (see page 89), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field program
(see page 45).
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “Surround” is
set to “None” (see page 89) in the following cases:
– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks is selected as the input source (see page 42).
– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– when this unit is in the “7ch Stereo” mode.

Enjoying multi-channel sources and
sound field programs with headphones
(SILENT CINEMA)
SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel
music or movie sound 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 45). 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 42).
• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when the Pure Direct (see
page 51) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see page 52) is selected, or
when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode.
CINEMA DSP 3D mode creates the intensive and
accurate stereoscopic sound field in the listening room.
You can activate and deactivate the CINEMA DSP 3D
mode.

• “3D:ON” appears in the front panel display and the 3D
indicator (see page 36) lights up while this unit is in the
CINEMA DSP 3D mode. CINEMA DSP 3D mode
creates the intensive and stereoscopic sound field in the
listening room.
• “3D:OFF” appears in the front panel display and the
3D indicator disappears when the CINEMA DSP 3D
mode is turned off. Conventional CINEMA DSP mode
creates the large and expanding sound field in the
listening room.
• “3D:––” appears when the CINEMA DSP 3D mode is not
available.
• If you set “Presence” to “None”, this unit cannot activate the
CINEMA DSP 3D mode.
• This unit activates the CINEMA DSP 3D mode only when you
select one of the CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field
programs.
• When your headphones are connected to this unit, this unit
cannot activate the CINEMA DSP 3D mode.
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.
