Selecting different sources for picture and sound

While watching pictures from a video source (DVD player, VCR, or DBS tuner), you can listen to sound of an audio source.

Once you have selected a video source, pictures of the selected source are sent to the TV until you select another video source.

Press one of the audio source selection buttons—PHONO, CD, TAPE/MD, CDR, FM, AM—while viewing the picture from a video component such as the VCR or DVD player, etc.

Adjusting the Zone 1 Volume

On the front panel:

To increase the volume, turn MASTER VOLUME clockwise. To decrease the volume, turn it counterclockwise.

On the remote control:

To increase the volume, press VOLUME +.

To decrease the volume, press VOLUME –.

Notes:

The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “0” (minimum) to “70” (maximum).

If you set “ONE TOUCH OPE” (One Touch Operation) to “ON” (see page 38), you do not have to adjust the volume level each time you change the source. It is automatically set to the stored level.

If you have turned off the receiver with the volume level set at more than level “30,” the volume level will be automatically set at level “30” next time you turn on the receiver.

CAUTIONS:

Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound energy can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.

Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling the receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when adjusting the volume level in Zone 2 from Zone 1.
