■ Using sound field programs without 

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 “SUR. L/R SP” to “NONE” (see page 86), 
Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever 
you select a sound field program (see page 48).

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “SUR. L/R 
SP” is set to “NONE” (see page 86) 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 this unit is in the “7ch Stereo” mode.

■ Enjoying multi-channel sources and 

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 sound field 
programs (see page 48). 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 50) 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.
