Adjusting the bass and treble

You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup menu:Audio Adjust → Tone Control. This function only affects the front left and right speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer. Only the bass level can be adjusted for the subwoofer (the treble adjustment is not effective). For multichannel sources, these dials will not work if the tone control is set to “Direct” or “Pure Audio.”

Listening with headphones

To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard stereo plug into the PHONES jack on the TX-DS898 front panel. When you connect headphones, the unit will enter STEREO mode automatically and no sound will be heard from the speakers.

When the headphones are unplugged, the TX-DS898 returns to its original listening mode.

When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Mono listening modes.

If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you will hear sound only from the FRONT L and R channels.

The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup menu (see page 45).

Note that the signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected whether or not headphones are connected.

Adjusting the main volume adjusts the volume level output from all the speakers connected to the TX-DS898 together. If headphones are connected, this also adjusts the volume heard from the headphone speakers. To adjust the volume, either press

the VOL buttons on the remote controller or turn the MASTER VOLUME dial. To increase the volume, turn the dial clockwise; to decrease the volume, turn the dial counterclockwise. The volume can be set to Min, 1 to 99, and Max (or –∞,–81 to +18 dB)
