SPEAKERS

 

 

 

 

 

A B

 

To turn the speakers on or off, use the AV receiver’s SPEAKERS [A] and [B] buttons, or use the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button.

Pressing the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button cycles through the following settings: Speaker Set A → Speaker Set A&B → Speaker Set B → Off.

Note that while speaker set B is on,

speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel Indicators playback.

See page 5 for more information about speaker sets A and B.

Start playback on the source component.

 

 

To watch a DVD or other video source, on your TV, select the video input that’s con-

 

nected to the AV receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack.

MASTER VOLUME

 

 

 

VOL

To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control, or the remote controller’s [VOL] button.

The volume can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX. Since the AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment, it has a wide volume range for precise adjust- ment.

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

Select a suitable listening mode and enjoy!
