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.

Selecting the Front Speakers

When you have connected two pairs of front speakers, you can select which to use.

On the front panel ONLY

To use the speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals

Press SPEAKERS 1 so that the SPK 1 indicator lights up on the display. (Make sure that SPK 2 is not lit on the display.)

To use the speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals

Press SPEAKERS 2 so that the SPK 2 indicator lights up on the display. (Make sure that SPK 1 is not lit on the display.)

To use both pairs of the speakers

Press SPEAKERS 1 and 2 so that the SPK 1 and 2 indicators light up on the display.

To use neither pairs of the speakers

Press SPEAKERS 1 and 2 so that the SPK 1 and SPK 2 indicators go off from the display.

This activates the HEADPHONE mode (“HEADPHONE” appears on the display).

Notes:

If you select any of the Surround modes while using both pairs of the front speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and 2 terminals, the speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are deactivated.

While the Surround mode is in use, you can only select either the speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 or 2 terminals.
