Though the TX-DS787 is often used to listen to the radio, it does not show you its true ability until it is used to play music or watch videos, LDs, DVDs, and the like. The TX-DS787 has the latest in state-of-the-art features to play back today’s acoustic technologies with the utmost in fidelity and power. From a two-speaker system to a seven-speaker system, you are assured a sound space that you can always enjoy.

Selecting an input source

Before you can listen to any input media, you must first select the input source at the TX-DS787. This tell it which input source to output to the speakers and monitor.

To select an input source, simply press the button on the front panel (or on the remote controller) that corresponds to the input source you want.

After you have selected the input source, simply turn on the corresponding component and play the media.

Adjusting the volume

Adjusting the main volume adjust the volume level output from all the speakers connected to the TX-DS787 together. If headphones are connected, this also adjusts the volume heard from the headphone speakers. To adjust the volume, either press the VOL buttons on the remote controller or turn the MASTER VOLUME dial. To increase the volume, turn the dial to the right; to decrease the volume, turn the dial to the left.

Changing the listening mode

To change the listening mode during playback, turn the SSC dial on the front panel or the listening mode buttons on the remote controller (see page 59).

Listening with headphones

To listen with headphones, plug a pair headphones with a standard stereo plug into the PHONES jack on the TX-DS787 front panel.

When you connect headphones, the unit will enter STEREO mode automatically and no sound will be heard from the speakers. Note that the signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected whether or not headphones are connected.
