To turn the speakers on or off, use the AV receiver’s SPEAKERS [A] and

[B]buttons, or press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button on the remote controller and use its [SP A/B] button.

Pressing the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button cycles through the following settings: Speaker Set A → Speaker Set A&B → Speaker Set B → Off.

is reduced to 5.1-channel playback. Indicators

	To watch a DVD or other video source, on your TV, select the video input that’s con-
	nected to the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, or MONITOR
	OUT. On some DVD players, you may need to change the digital or HDMI audio out-
	put settings.

MASTER VOLUME	controller

To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control or the remote controller’s [VOL] button.

Since the AV receiver is designed for home theaters, it has a wide volume range for precise adjustment. The volume can be set to –∞dB, –81 dB, –80 dB through +18 dB.

Make sure the SKW-960 Subwoofer’s output level control is set at the “THX-POSITION.”

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

5	Select a listening mode and enjoy!
