To listen with headphones (SILENT CINEMA)
The SILENT CINEMA mode allows you to enjoy multi-
channel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital
and DTS surround, through ordinary headphones.
SILENT CINEMA activates automatically whenever you
connect headphones to the PHONES jack while listening
to CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field programs. The
“SILENT CINEMA” indicator lights up on the front panel
display. (If the sound field programs are off, you listen
with normal stereo reproduction.)
This unit will not be set to the SILENT CINEMA mode when
MULTI CH INPUT is selected as the input source.
