Onkyo TX-DS595 appendix Changing the audio mode, Temporarily changing the speaker output levels

Changing the audio mode

Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel (or the AUDIO button on the remote controller) to change the audio mode. Each time the button is pressed, the mode changes from “AUTO” → “MULTICH” → “ANALOG” and back to “AUTO.” The “AUTO” audio mode is recommended for normal circumstances.

AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-DS595 automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played.

MULTICH: Select this setting to play back the input from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting is effective when the Multichannel setting in the Audio Setup is set to “YES.”

ANALOG: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to an analog audio input jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.

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-DS595 is put in standby.

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 CONFIG parameter of the speaker 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.
