Basic Operations—Continued

Using the Sleep Timer

With the sleep timer, you can set the AV controller to turn off automatically after a specified period.

Press the [RECEIVER] button, and then press the [SLEEP] but- ton repeatedly to select the required sleep time.

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 controller 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.

Using Headphones

For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo headphones (1/4-inch phone plug) to the AV controller’s PHONES jack.

Notes:

•Always turn down the volume before connecting your headphones.

•While the headphones plug is inserted in the PHONES jack, the speakers are turned off and the Headphone indicator lights up.

•When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio.

•Only the Stereo, Direct, Pure Audio, and Mono listen- ing modes can be used with headphones (the listening modes available also depend on the currently selected input source).

•When the multichannel input is used, only the front left and right audio can be heard in the headphones.
