MASTER VOL.

The volume level is

displayed on the(Main unit) (Remote control unit) master volume level

display.

The volume can be adjusted within the range of

–70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described on page 12 or page 24, if the volume for any channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum value of channel level)”.)

Input mode when playing DTS sources

Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode. When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to connect the source component to the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”.

The DIGITAL indicator lights when digital signals

are being input properly. If the DIGITAL indicator

does not light, check whether the digital input component setup (page 13) and connections are correct and whether the component’s power is turned on.

NOTE:

The DIGITAL indicator will light when playing CD-ROMs containing data other than audio signals, but no sound will be heard.

Once this is selected, the input signals

 

connected to the FL (front left), FR (front right),

 

C (center), SL (surround left) and SR (surround

 

right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output

 

directly to the front (left and right), center and

 

surround (left and right) speaker systems as

 

well as the pre-out jacks without passing

 

through the surround circuitry.

 

 

In addition, the signal input to the SW

 

(subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT

 

SUBWOOFER jack.

NOTES:

In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to these jacks cannot be played. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input jacks.

The external input mode can be set for any input source. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode.
