Use the AV receiver’s input selector buttons to select the input source.

To select the input source with the remote controller, press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, and then use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons.

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.

 

If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, see the tip on page 28.

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!
