The sleep time can be set from 90 to 10 minutes in 10 minute steps.

The SLEEP indicator appears on the display when the sleep timer has been set. The specified sleep time appears on the display for about five seconds, then the previous display reappears.

If you need to cancel the sleep timer, press the [SLEEP] button repeatedly until the SLEEP indicator disappears.

To check the time remaining until the AV receiver sleeps, press the [SLEEP] button. Note that if you press the [SLEEP] button while the sleep time is being displayed, you’ll shorten the sleep time by 10 minutes.

You can connect a pair of stereo headphones (1/4-inch phone plug) to the AV receiver’s PHONES jack for pri- vate listening, as shown.

The output is muted and the MUTING indicator flashes on the display, as shown.

To unmute the AV receiver, press the [MUTING] button again, or adjust the volume.

The Mute function is cancelled when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Notes:

•Always turn down the volume before connecting your headphones.
