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.)
