music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS

HiFi DSP sound field programs (see page 31). When
activated, the SILENT CINEMA indicator lights up in the
front panel display.
• SILENT CINEMA does not activate when the component
connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the
input source.
• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when “2CH STEREO” (see
