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.
If you set “SUR. LR” to NONE (see page 56), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when “SUR. LR” is
set to NONE (see page 56) in the following cases:
– When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
This unit comes with a variety of input jacks. Do the
following to select the type of input signals you want to
use.
1 Rotate INPUT to select the input source.
2 Press INPUT MODE to select an input mode.

sound is output.
