When a decode mode which differs from the type of disc being played is selected

Insert a DVD disc in the center unit to display the type of audio being played in the Decode mode indicator in the display window. Audio cannot be played if a decode mode which differs from the displayed mode is selected.

Adjusting the Input Signal Level

When using the DSP mode effect during playback from an analog device, the sound will occasionally be distorted due to a overly- strong input signal. In these instances, it is possible to adjust the level of the input signal. Only input signals from analog devices (TV SOUND, VCR, TAPE, AUX, FM, AM, MD, DBS) may be adjusted in this way.

On the front panel only:

1

1 Press and hold INPUT ATT. (DSP MODE).

Release the button when the display window shows “INPUT ATT ON,” or “INPUT NORMAL.”

Pressing and holding the INPUT ATT. Button further cycles through the following modes:

INPUT NORMAL: Playback source without adjusting the input signal level. This is the default setting.

J

INPUT ATT ON: Lower the input level and playback source.

The ATT mark will light up.

To change the input signal level, press and hold INPUT ATT. until “INPUT NORMAL” or “INPUT ATT ON” is displayed.

Note:

When in “INPUT ATT ON” mode, ATT will light up in the display window. However, when the playback source is digital (DVD, etc.) it will go off. Lighting up will resume if playback is switched to an analog device.

Even while in “INPUT ATT ON” mode, if the DSP mode is turned off (“DSP OFF”), playback will continue without any reduction of the input signal.

Phase is closely related to the distance from the listening position to the front speaker and sub-woofer.

While listening, adjust until the lowest frequency is heard best.
