Using the sleep time (remote controller only)

The SLEEP button enables you to set the TX-DS898 to turn off automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the TX-DS898 will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed thereafter, the remaining time until the TX-DS898 turns off decreases by 10 minutes. While, the sleep function is enabled, you can press the SLEEP button to see how much time is left. To cancel the sleep function, press the SLEEP button when the time displayed is less than 10 minutes.

If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone 2 only, set the sleep function with main zone turned on and then put the main zone into the standby state.

Temporarily changing the speaker output levels

To change the individual speaker volumes temporarily, follow the procedure given below. Each channel can be set between –12 to +12 decibels. Note that the calibration settings will return to the original settings when the TX-DS898 is put in standby.

1. Press the RCVR MODE button.

2. Press the CH SEL button and select the desired speaker.

3. Press the LEVEL or button to adjust the volume level.

Notes:

•You cannot select a speaker if the Speaker Config sub-menu of the Speaker Setup is set to No or None.

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

•When you press the TEST button after you set the level, the current level will be used as the value set via the test tone.
