Using sound field programs without 
surround speakers 
(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.
When you set “Surround” to 
Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever 
you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program (see 
page 47).
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “Surround” is 
set to “None” (see page 106) in the following cases:
– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT 
jacks is selected as the input source (see page 43).
– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– when the Pure Direct (see page 52) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see 
page 53) is selected, or when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” 
mode (see 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, including Dolby Digital and DTS 
sources, 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 47). 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 43).
• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when the Pure Direct (see 
page 52) or “2ch Stereo” mode (see page 53) is selected, or 
when this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode (see page 51).
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.
