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.
If you set “SUR. LR”
 to 
NONE (see page 58), Virtual 
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you 
select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when “SUR. LR” is 
set to NONE (see page 58) in the following cases:
– When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
