Selecting a sound source

1.Press the desired input selector button.

The selected source name appears in the display.

If the TAPE button is pressed, either the TAPE or MD input which has been selected beforehand will be displayed. The TAPE and MD sources can be switched alternately by holding the TAPE button for about 2 seconds.

Using MULTI CHANNEL INPUT

The MULTI CHANNEL INPUT refers to a system, which is compatible with a source component equipped with 5.1-channel outputs (DVD player, MPEG decoder, etc.), reproducing the left/ right front, center and left/right surround channels from five respective speakers and outputting the subwoofer channel from SUB WOOFER PRE OUT (refer to page 11).

2.When the selected source is other than FM or AM, press the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel or the AUDIO SEL button on the remote controller to select an audio input signal

format.

Each time the button is pressed, the setting cycles; “AUTO” → “MULTI CH” → “ANALOG” → “AUTO” (back to the beginning) (refer to page 23).

3.Make sure that the SPEAKERS A indicator lights up in the display.

If it does not light, press the SPEAKERS A button.

4.Start playing the selected input source.

Follow the operating instructions for the source device.

5.Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME dial on the front panel or the VOLUME 5/∞ buttons on the remote controller.

Turn the MASTER VOLUME dial clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

6.Adjust the tone with the BASS and TREBLE control knobs on the front panel.

Turn the BASS and TREBLE control knobs to adjust the bass and treble response from the Front speakers (refer to page 8).

Note:

If you hear no sound from the speakers, check the following items:

•Make sure that all devices and speakers are connected correctly and securely.

•The sound is muted when the MUTING indicator flashes. Press the MUTING button on the remote controller to cancel the mute function (refer to page 23).

•When you select a source that is connected to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the rear panel, you must select digital input (refer to page 12).

1.Press AUDIO SELECTOR button repeatedly to select “MULTI CH”.

2.Turn on the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port and start playing the desired media.

3.If necessary, press the CH SEL button on the remote controller to select an individual speaker. Then press the LEVEL 5/∞ button to adjust the output level as desired.

Adjust the speaker output level so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front right, front left, center, surround right and surround left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between –12 to +12 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between –30 to +12 dB.

The volume levels from the speakers reproducing MULTI CHANNEL INPUT are independent from the speaker levels set using the test tone (page 21). These settings are not applied to speakers reproducing MULTI CHANNEL INPUT.

Notes:

•MULTI CH cannot be selected when FM or AM is selected as the input source.

•The surround mode cannot be selected when MULTI CH is selected. Also, if MULTI CH is selected during use of a surround mode, it is canceled automatically.

•If the speaker level is set to +1 dB or higher, the maximum level indicated in the display will change if you raise the volume level.

•Regardless of the speaker configuration, the input signal will be output to each corresponding speaker. For example, even if the speaker configuration is set to 2 ch, sound comes from all speakers.
