■The sound changes when I connect my headphones

When a pair of headphones is connected, the listen- — ing mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, or Direct.

■How do I change the language of a multiplex source

Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust” 31 menu to select “Main” or “Sub”.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
