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 DSP sound field programs. The SILENT CINEMA
indicator lights up in the front panel display.
“SILENT CINEMA” is not effective when the Direct
Stereo or 2ch Stereo program is selected, or in
STRAIGHT mode.

of your front left and right
speakers or headphones (when
