Disklavier

Yes, mine has the silent feature - DC2A.  When I have the acoustic 
piano switch to digital sound, is the piano really "playing"?  I 
can't find this info in my manual.  I'm curious to know if when in 
digital mode with the keys moving, is it actually determining the 
sound from the hammers or is it "fake" totally generated from the 
midi instructions.
