PLAYBACK
■ Listening at night
This mode reproduces dialog clearly while reducing the
volume of loud sound effects for easier listening at low
volumes or at night.
Press NIGHT on the remote control.
The NIGHT indicator in the front panel
display lights up.
Press NIGHT again to cancel. The NIGHT
indicator goes off.
y
• You can use the night listening mode with any sound field
program except Direct Stereo (even though the NIGHT
indicator lights up during Direct Stereo mode).
• Night listening mode may vary in effectiveness depending on
the input source and surround sound settings you use.
■ 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 do not connect surround speakers, Virtual CINEMA
DSP activates automatically whenever you select a
CINEMA DSP sound field program.
When headphones are connected, Virtual CINEMA DSP will not
activate, even when Surround is set to “None” (see page 68).
■ Listening to unprocessed sound
Press STRAIGHT/EFFECT to select STRAIGHT.
2-channel stereo sources are output from the front left and
right speakers only. Multi-channel sources are decoded
straight into the appropriate channels without any
additional effect processing.
Press STRAIGHT/EFFECT again so that “STRAIGHT”
disappears from the display when you want to turn the
sound effect back on.

You can also perform this operation using the GUI remote control
(see page 29).
■ Downmixing to 2 channels
You can enjoy 2-channel stereo playback even from multi-
channel sources.
Press DSP PROGRAM, then rotate MULTI JOG (or
set 10KEY/AMP to AMP then press STEREO
repeatedly on the remote control) to select
“STEREO 2ch Stereo”.
y
• You can also perform this operation using the GUI remote
control (see page 29).

Both is selected in Bass Out (see page 67).
