Model 970 Operation

To use the headphones:

1.Plug a set of headphones in to the front panel using the headphone jack.

The signal to the main speaker outputs will automatically mute when the headphones are in use.

2.Use the Headphone Level Control to the right of the headphone jack to set the sound level for the headphones

The main system front panel or remote volume controls do not have any influence on the headphone level setting.

CAUTION: We recommend that you turn the headphone level control all the way down before using headphones for the first time, and then slowly increasing the level by turning the knob to the right. This avoids the chance that you might damage your hearing by encountering a headphone level that is too high. Always use caution and good sense when setting the headphone level, as high levels may cause hearing damage. Listening to headphones for prolonged periods at high vol- ume levels can permanently damage your hearing

The headphones may be used in either the Stereo or Dolby Headphone mode. To change the setting, go to the Surround Configuration Menu, following the instructions shown on page 31.
