USING BASIC FUNCTIONS
■ 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.
■ Displaying the information about
input signal
During stereo reproduction, you can display information such as
the type, format and sampling frequency of the signal input from
the components connected to this system.
(While playing a stereo source)
1 Press AMP.
2 Press d to display the information about the
input signal.
y
• Format:
The type of an input signal. When digital input is not known,
the mode is set to the analog mode.
• fs:
The sampling frequency of an input signal when a digital signal
is input. If the frequency is not known, “unknown” appears on
the front panel display.
• Audio Channels:
The number of audio channels included in an input signal when
a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input.
• Rate (bit rate):
The amount of data contained in an input signal per second
when a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input. If the bit rate is
not known, “unknown” appears on the front panel display.
• Flg (flag):
An identification signal contained in an input signal when a
Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input. If the flag is not detected,
“None” appears on the front panel display.
■ 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.
