(Virtual CINEMA DSP)
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP sound field programs without surround speakers. It
creates virtual speakers to reproduce the natural sound
field.
When you set “Surround” to “None” (page 93), Virtual
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program (page 46).
Virtual CINEMA DSP does not activate in the following cases:
– “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source (page 43).
– headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– the unit is in the “7ch Stereo” mode (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 through ordinary headphones.
SILENT CINEMA activates automatically whenever you
connect headphones to the PHONES jack while listening
to CINEMA DSP sound field programs (page 46). When
activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the
front panel display.
SILENT CINEMA does not activate in the following cases:
– “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source (page 43).
– the unit is in the “2ch Stereo” (page 51), “STRAIGHT”
(page 52) or “PURE DIRECT” (page 54) mode.
2ch Stereo
Use this program to mix down multi-channel sources to 2
channels.
7ch Stereo
Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you
play back multi-channel sources, this unit downmixes the
source to 2 channels, and then output the sound from all
speakers. This program creates a larger sound field and is ideal
for background music at parties, etc.

original depth and width of the 2-channel or multi-channel
compression artifacts.
7ch Enhancer
Use this program to play back compression artifacts in 7-
channel stereo.
