■ 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 59), 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 59) in the following cases:
– When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
– When you select a 2ch Stereo, 6ch Stereo, DIRECT STEREO
or SUR. STANDARD as a sound field program.
This unit comes with a variety of input jacks. Do the
following to select the type of input signals you want to
use.
1 Rotate INPUT to select the input source.
2 Press INPUT MODE to select an input mode.
In most cases, use AUTO.
AUTO Automatically selects input signals in
the following order:
1) Digital signals
*
2) Analog signals
DTS Selects only digital signals encoded in
DTS. If no DTS signals are input, no
sound is output.
ANALOG Selects only analog signals. If no
analog signals are input, no sound is
output.
* If this unit detects a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the
decoder automatically switches to the appropriate
decoder.
y
You can adjust the default input mode of this unit (see page 62).
• When playing a DTS-CD/LD, be sure to set INPUT MODE to
DTS.
• If the digital output data of the player has been processed in any
way, you may not be able to perform DTS decoding even if you
make a digital connection between this unit and the player
depending on the player.
