Yamaha RX-Z11 Manuale Utente

■ Using sound field programs without surround 

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA DSP or 
HiFi DSP sound field programs without surround speakers. It 
creates virtual speakers to reproduce the natural sound field.
When you set “Surround” to “None” (see page 100), Virtual 
CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever you select a 
CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field program (see page 58).

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate even when “Surround” is set to 
“None” (see page 100) and you select a CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound 
field program in the following cases:

– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is 

selected as the input source (see page 54).

– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– when this unit is in the “11ch Stereo” mode.

■ Enjoying multi-channel sources and sound field 

SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel music or 
movie sound 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 58). 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 54).

• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when the Pure Direct (see page 65) or 

“2ch Stereo” mode (see page 63) is selected, or when this unit is in the 
“STRAIGHT” mode.

CINEMA DSP HD³ mode creates the intensive and accurate 
stereoscopic sound field in the listening room. You can activate and 
deactivate the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode.

indicator (see page 45) and HD³ sound field indicators light up 
while this unit is in the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode. CINEMA 
DSP HD³ mode creates the intensive and stereoscopic sound 
field in the listening room.

• “HD CUBIC:OFF” appears in the front panel display and the 

HD³ indicator disappears when the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode is 
turned off. Conventional CINEMA DSP mode creates the large 
and expanding sound field in the listening room.

• “HD CUBIC:––” appears when the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode is not 

available.

• If you set “Front Presence” to “None”, this unit cannot activate the 

CINEMA DSP HD³ mode.

• This unit activates the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode only when you select one 

of the CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field programs (except the “11ch 
Stereo” mode).

• When your headphones are connected to this unit, this unit cannot activate 

the CINEMA DSP HD³ mode.

When this unit is in the “STRAIGHT” mode, 2-channel stereo 
sources are output from only the front left and right speakers and 
multi-channel sources are decoded straight into the appropriate 
channels without any additional effect processing.
