Disklavier

Tom,

Thanks for the reply.

The way you describe it is the way I believe it should work.

I have the DC2S and it doesn't work that way.   When I plug in the 
headphones I still hear the sampled sounds out of the speaker.

Does anyone else have a DC2S (or a DC3S, I imagine it would function 
the same way) and could they confirm how the silent system operates.

Thanks

Brian
