Virtual CINEMA DSP

DSP programs without surround speakers. It creates
virtual speakers to reproduce the natural sound field.
If you do not connect surround speakers, Virtual CINEMA
DSP activates automatically whenever you select a
CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when “SURR LR”
is set to NONE (see page 47) 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.

decoder automatically switches to the appropriate sound
field program.
