■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.)

•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.

•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.
