OPERATION
BASIC OPERATION
Cautions:
•The system automatically reduces the volume the first time you turn it on after you install it. To protect your hearing after that, set the vol- ume to its lowest level before you turn it on.
•Do not set the system’s volume too high while playing soft or quiet portions of a music program. Due to the system’s wide dynamic range, the speakers might be damaged if the music program produces a sudden loud passage.
Follow these steps to operate your system.
1.Press POWER to turn on the sys- tem.
POWER ON scrolls across the dis- play, the STANDBY indicator turns off, and the CD, TAPE, TUNER, PHONO, and VIDEO function but- tons light.
Note: The function selected when the system was last turned off lights red; all others light green.
2.Press CD, TAPE, TUNER, PHONO or VIDEO on the system to select the desired audio source. The selected source’s indicator lights red.
3.If the source to be played is encoded with Dolby Surround Sound, select the desired Dolby Surround Mode (see “Selecting the Dolby Surround Mode” on Page 17).
4.Start the source or tune to the desired station.
