SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel
music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS
sources, through ordinary headphones. SILENT CINEMA
activates automatically whenever you connect headphones
to the PHONES jack while listening to a source with a
CINEMA DSP or HiFi DSP sound field program (see
page 71). 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 (see page 38).
• SILENT CINEMA is not effective when the “DIRECT
STEREO” (see page 39), “2ch Stereo” (see page 39) or
“STRAIGHT” mode (see page 39) is selected.
Press MUTE on the remote control to mute the
audio output. Press MUTE again to resume the
audio output.

• You can also rotate VOLUME on the front panel or VOLUME
+/– on the remote control to resume the audio output.
• You can adjust the muting level by using the “MUTING TYPE”
parameter in “SOUND MENU” (see page 86).
• The MUTE indicator flashes in the front panel display when the
audio output is muted and disappears from the front panel
display when the audio output is resumed.
If you change the input source or the sound field program with the
remote control while the audio output is being muted, this unit
resumes the audio output.
The night listening modes are designed to improve
listenability at lower volumes or at night. Choose either
“NIGHT:CINEMA” or “NIGHT:MUSIC” depending on
