English

7Listening with headphones

Connect a pair of headphones to the (phones) jack on the front panel.

This cancels the Surround mode currently selected, deactivates speakers, and activates the HEADPHONE mode. The SPK 1 and 2 indicators go off from the display.

•Disconnecting a pair of headphones from the (phones) jack cancels the HEADPHONE mode and activates speakers.

HEADPHONE mode

When using the headphones, the following signals are output regardless of your speaker setting:

–For 2-channel sources, the front left and right channel signals are output directly from the left and right headphones.

–For multi-channel sources, the front left and right, center, and surround channel signals are down-mixed and then output from the headphones without missing bass element.

–For DVD AUDIO ONLY: When down-mixing is prohibited on the disc, only signals of the front left and right channel are output.

CAUTION:

Be sure to turn down the volume:

•Before connecting or putting on headphones, as high volume can damage both the headphones and your hearing.

•Before removing headphones, as high volume may come out of the speakers.
