SILENT CINEMA DSP
You can enjoy a powerful sound field similar to what you
could expert from actual speakers with SILENT
CINEMA DSP. You can listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP
by connecting your headphones to the PHONES (
SILENT) jack while the digital sound field processor is
on. Enjoy all the DSP program using the headphones. The
“SILENT” indicator lights up on the front panel display.
(When sound effects are off, you listen to the source with
normal stereo reproduction.)
y
• When SILENT CINEMA DSP is functioning, the “SILENT”
indicator lights up on the front panel display.
Notes
• This feature is not available when 96-kHz sampling digital
signals are input to this system.
• The sound of LFE channel will be mixed and output from the
headphone.
■
Normal Stereo Reproduction
Press STEREO to turn off the sound effect for normal
stereo reproduction.
Press STEREO again to turn the sound effect back on.
Notes
• If you turn off the sound effects, no sound is output from the
center or rear speakers.
• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the
sound effects or if you set “4 D. RANGE” on the SET MENU
to MIN. In this case turn on the sound effect.
• The sound of LFE channel will be directed to the front left and
right or the subwoofer (or both) channels depending on the
setting of “1D BASS” on the SET MENU.
• If you turn off the sound effects while a Dolby Digital or DTS
signal is being output, the dynamic range of the signal is
automatically compressed and the sounds of the center and rear
speaker channels are mixed and output from the front speakers.

About 96-kHz sampling digital
signals
The digital input jacks of this system can handle 96-kHz
sampling digital signals. Note the following when 96-kHz
sampling digital signal is input to this system:
– DSP programs cannot be selected.
– Sound will be output as 2-channel stereo from only the
front left and right speakers. (There may be sound
output from the subwoofer depending on the
SPEAKER SET settings on the SET MENU.)
Therefore, the level of the effect speakers cannot be
adjusted while listening to such a source.
