they are downmixed to 2 channels and output from the front left 
and right speakers.

speakers are redirected to the subwoofer in the following cases:

■ Using Virtual CINEMA DSP

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA 
DSP programs without surround speakers by creating 
virtual speakers.
If you set “SURR”

 to “

NONE” (see page 54), Virtual 

CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you 
select a CINEMA DSP program (see page 31).

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SURR” is set 
to “NONE” (see page 54) in the following cases:

– When “2CH STEREO” (see page 31) is selected or when this 

unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode. 

– When the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT 

jacks is selected as the input source (see page 25).

– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

■ Listening to unprocessed input signals

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.

To deactivate the “STRAIGHT” mode, press 
STRAIGHT on the remote control again so 
that “STRAIGHT” disappears from the front 
panel display.
The sound field program is turned back on.

y

You can also select “STRAIGHT” by pressing STRAIGHT 
on the front panel.
