• CINEMA DSP HD³/CINEMA DSP 3D (p.71) and Virtual CINEMA DSP (p.73) do not work when “2ch 

Stereo” or “9ch Stereo” is selected.

■

If you select one of the sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 9ch Stereo) when no 
surround speakers are connected, the unit utilizes Yamaha’s original virtual surround 
technology to reproduce up to 7-channel surround sound and enable you to enjoy the 
well-oriented sound field only with the front-side speakers. We recommend using 
presence speakers in order to enjoy more effective stereoscopic sound field.

• When Virtual CINEMA DSP is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

■

If you have surround speakers but there is no space to place them in the rear of your 
room, you can place them in the front (p.21) and enjoy multi-channel surround sound 
using Virtual CINEMA FRONT.

When “Layout (Surround)” (p.126) in the “Setup” menu is set to “Front”, the unit creates 
the virtual surround speakers in the rear side to allow you to enjoy multi-channel 
surround sound with the 5 speakers placed in the front.

• When Virtual CINEMA FRONT is working, “VIRTUAL” lights up in the front display.

■

You can enjoy surround or sound field effects, like a multichannel speaker system, with 
stereo headphones by connecting the headphones to the PHONES jack and selecting 
a sound program or a surround decoder.

The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low 
ceiling makes the powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in 
the center.

The warehouse resembles some lofts in Soho. Sound reflects off the 
concrete walls clearly with a lot of energy.

This program simulates an intimate concert venue with a low ceiling and 
homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field delivers powerful sounds 
that make you feel as if you are sitting in the front row in front of a small 
stage.

This program creates the sound field of a 460-seat rock music concert 
venue in Los Angeles. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the 
hall.

This program creates the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, a 
famous New York jazz club once. The floor can seat 300 people to the left 
and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.

Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When 
multichannel signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and 
output from the front speakers (this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP). 

Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back 
multichannel sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and 
then outputs the sound from all speakers. This program creates a larger 
sound field and is ideal for background music at parties.
