Sound field programs
■ Using sound field programs without
surround speakers (Virtual CINEMA DSP)
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP programs without surround speakers by creating
virtual speakers.
If you set "SUR. LR" to "NONE" (see page 48), Virtual
CINEMA DSP is automatically activated whenever you
select a sound field program (see page 34).
Note
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not be activated even when "SUR.
LR" is set to "NONE" (see page 46) in the following cases:
– when "5ch Stereo" (see page 34) is selected.
– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
■ 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
is automatically activated whenever you connect
headphones to the PHONES jack while listening to sound
field programs (except for 2ch Stereo and Music Enh. 2ch)
(see page 34). When SILENT CINEMA is activated, the
SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel
display.
■ Enjoying unprocessed input sources
(Straight decoding mode)
When this unit is in the "STRAIGHT" mode,
multi-channel sources are decoded straight into the
appropriate channels without any additional effect
processing. 2-channel stereo sources are output from only
the front left and right speakers.
Press L STRAIGHT (or press 9 STRAIGHT) to
select "STRAIGHT".
To deactivate the "STRAIGHT" mode, press
L STRAIGHT (or 9 STRAIGHT) again so that
"STRAIGHT" disappears from the front panel display.
