Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level. (details see operation of test/setup)

Connecting for Power

 

Make sure you connect all your

EN

other electronic components and

 

the

 

speakers before plugging your

 

receiver into the outlet. Plug the

 

power cord in the wall outlet,

 

matching the wide blade of the

 

plug with the wide slot in the

 

outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

Level adjustment & surround channel level expec- tation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround chan- nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro- ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

NOTE

The system is equipped with Dolby Digital, and manufactured under License from Dolby Laboratories.

Using Headphones

To listen privately through your audio system, use the PHONES jack on the receiver. However, make sure you turn down the volume before you put on the head- phones. Increase the volume to the desired level after headphones are in place.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWNMIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatically converts multi-channel speaker outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleas- ure.
