Adjusting each speaker’s relative volume balance temporarily

You can readjust each speakerÕs relative volume balance according to your preference while listening to the sound.

The adjusted values will return to the values set on page 20 when the AV Receiver enters standby mode unless you save the values.

Note

You cannot adjust the volume balance while the muting function is activated.

1.While playing the source, press CH SEL repeatedly to check each speaker’s relative volume balance.

Each press of the button changes the speaker and the selected speaker appears in the display in the following order:

Left (Front left) → Center → Right (Front right) → Surr Right (Surround right) → Surr Left (Surround left) → Subwoofer → Left …

Note

¥Any speaker that is not included in the speaker configuration on page 18 is not selected even if it is actually connected.

¥The subwoofer will not output the test tone if itÕs off. See ÒSetting the subwoofer modeÓ on page 20.

2.Press CH SEL repeatedly to select the speaker, then press LEVEL 5/∞ to adjust the volume level.

The volume level can be adjusted between Ð12dB and +12dB in 1 dB steps.

Repeat this step to change another speakerÕs volume balance.

When TEST is pressed after the above adjustment, the set levels will become the levels adjusted using the test tone by overwriting the existing ones.

Setting the input signal format

You can select the audio signal you wish to use, for each input source.

Auto: Setting to play a digital signal in priority. When a digital signal is not input, the analog signal will be played.

Multich: Setting to play back the input from the component connected to the DVD port (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER).

Analog: Setting to play the analog signal. Even when a digital signal is input, it will not be reproduced.

1.Press one of the input selector buttons.

2.Press AUDIO SELECTOR on the unit or AUDIO SEL on the remote controller.

The current setting is displayed for three seconds.

While the current setting is displayed, press AUDIO SELECTOR or AUDIO SEL repeatedly until the desired input signal format is displayed.

Each press of the button switches the displayed input format as follows: Auto ( )* → Multich** → Analog → Auto (back to the beginning)

* The name of the input terminals (OPT or COAX) is shown inside ( ).

ÒAutoÓ will be skipped when digital input jack is not assigned to the input source.

**ÒMultichÓ can be selected only when DVD is selected as the input source.

To fix the “Auto” to DTS or PCM

If there is a problem as described below, it is possible to fix the ÒAutoÓ to PCM or DTS.

¥If the beginning of each PCM track is cut in Auto mode → Fix the digital signal to PCM. However, care is required in using this mode for playback of a DTS-CD may be interfered by noise.

¥If, during playback of a DTS-CD in Auto mode, noise is output when the CD is fast-forwarded or reversed → Fix the digital signal to DTS.

1)Press AUDIO SELECTOR on the main unit (or AUDIO SEL on the remote controller) to select ÒAutoÓ.

2)While ÒAutoÓ is displayed, press ADJUST ™/£. Each

press of the button switches the display between Auto ↔ PCM ↔ DTS ↔ Auto.

When the digital signal is fixed at DTS or PCM, the digital signal is reproduced only when the selected type of signal is input. Digital signals of other types are not reproduced. In this case, only the indicator of the non-reproduced source (PCM or DTS) will blink.

Note

Changing the digital input setting (see page 21) will cancel the selected input signal format. In such cases, set the input signal format again. If you had set the DVD input to ÒMultiÓ, it will not change.
