OPERATION
■ Downmixing to 2 channels
You can enjoy 2-channel stereo playback from multi-
channel sources.
Rotate PROGRAM (or set AMP/SOURCE/TV to
AMP, then press STEREO on the remote control)
to select 2ch Stereo.
You can use a subwoofer with this program when SWFR or
BOTH is selected in LFE/BASS OUT.
■ Listening to unprocessed input signals
In STRAIGHT mode, two 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.
Press STRAIGHT (EFFECT) to select STRAIGHT.
Press STRAIGHT/EFFECT again so that “STRAIGHT”
disappears from the display when you want to turn the
sound effect back on.
■ Virtual CINEMA DSP
Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy the CINEMA
DSP programs without surround speakers. It creates
virtual speakers to reproduce a natural sound field.
If you set Surround to None, Virtual CINEMA DSP
activates automatically whenever you select a CINEMA
DSP sound field program.
Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when Surround is
set to “None” (see page 62) in the following cases:
– When MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
– When headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.
■ Playing video sources in the
background
You can combine images from a video source with sound
from an audio source. For example, you can enjoy
listening to classical music while having beautiful scenery
from the video source on the video monitor.
Use the input selector buttons to select a video
source, then select an audio source.
If you want to enjoy an audio source connected to the
MULTI CH INPUT jacks together with a video source, first select
the video source and then press MULTI CH INPUT.
