BASIC PLAYBACK
SILENT CINEMA DSP
You can enjoy the powerful sound field as if there were
actual speakers with the SILENT CINEMA DSP. You can
listen to SILENT CINEMA DSP by connecting your
headphones to the PHONES 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. (If the sound effect is off, you listen to
the source with normal stereo reproduction.)
Note
• This unit is not set in the SILENT CINEMA DSP mode even if
the sound effect is on;
– when 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit.

for normal stereo reproduction.
Press STEREO again to turn the sound effect back
on.
Notes
• If you turn off the sound effect, no sound is output from the

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 main speakers.
• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the
sound effect or if you set “11 D-RANGE” on the SET MENU
