cases:

– when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

sound field programs with headphones

SILENT CINEMA allows you to enjoy multi-channel
music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS
sources, through ordinary headphones. SILENT CINEMA
is automatically activated whenever you connect
headphones to the PHONES jack while listening to
CINEMA DSP sound field programs (except for 5ch
Stereo) (see page 37). When activated, the SILENT
CINEMA indicator lights up in the front panel display.
