Basic Operation

Warning: To prevent possible hearing loss, turn VOLUME to MIN before you turn on the receiver or change the program sources. After you turn on the receiver or change the program source, adjust VOL- UME to a comfortable listening level.

Note: If you select a source while TAPE 2 MONITOR is engaged, TAPE 2 flashes five times on the display, reminding you to disengage the TAPE 2 MONITOR func- tion.

Note: To find out what a particular button or control is used for, see Page 24 (for the remote control) or Page 31 (for the front panel) to find the page where the button or control is described.

The controls on the remote control work the same as the buttons on the receiver’s front panel, though some are labeled differently.

Follow these steps to use the receiver.

1.Press POWER to turn on the receiver’s power. It takes about 5 seconds to begin hearing sound.

2.Press SPEAKER on the left front of the receiver (if necessary) so SP A appears on the upper left portion of the display.

3.Select a program source.

To tune to a radio station, see “Tuning the Radio” on Page 16.

To listen to signals from the component connected to TAPE 2 MONITOR, press TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 appears on the display.

To listen to a source other than one connected to TAPE 2 MONITOR, be sure TAPE 2 does not show on the display. If necessary, press TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 disappears. Then press VCR/TAPE 1, DVD/LD (digital video disc/ laser disc), CD, AM/FM (tuner), or PHONO, or repeatedly press FUNC on the remote control, to display the desired program source.

4.Adjust VOLUME clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it. Or, you can use MASTER VOLUME –/+on the remote control.

5.Adjust the bass, treble, or balance to suit your listening preference.

Repeatedly press TONE/BALANCE on the front of the receiver until the item you want to adjust appears on the display — TREB., BASS, or BAL- ANCE. Then press DOWN/LEFT or UP/RIGHT until you get the desired sound.

For more detail on adjusting the sound balance, see “Adjusting Balance” on Page 17.

6.When you finish using the receiver, press POWER to turn it off.
