Enjoying sound field effects without surround speakers
(Virtual CINEMA DSP)
If you select one of the sound programs when no surround speakers are connected, the unit automatically
creates the surround sound field using the front speakers. You can enjoy sound field effects without surround
speakers.
NOTE
Virtual CINEMA DSP does not work on "2ch Stereo" and "All-Channel Stereo". Select a sound program besides those.
