Adjusting the bass and treble

You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup Menu → Audio Adjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu (see page 58). The treble level affects the front left and right speakers and center speaker. The Bass level affects the front left and right speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer. For multichannel sources, these dials will not work if the tone control is set to “Direct” or “Pure Audio.”

Listening with headphones

To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard stereo plug into the PHONES jack on the TX-NR900/900E front panel.

When you connect headphones, no sound will be heard from the speakers. When the headphones are unplugged, the TX-NR900/900E returns to its original listening mode. When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Mono listening modes. (Available modes can vary depending on the current input source.)

If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you will only hear the sound only output to the front right and left channels.

The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup Menu (see page 65).

Note:

The signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected by whether or not headphones are connected.

Using the sleep time (remote controller only)

The SLEEP button enables you to set the TX-NR900/900E to turn off automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the TX-NR900/900E will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed thereafter, the remaining time until the TX-NR900/900E turns off decreases by 10 minutes (i.e., from 90 to 80 minutes). While, the sleep function is enabled, you can press the SLEEP button to see how much time is left. If you now press the SLEEP button, the remaining time will be reduced down to the nearest 10 minutes. If it is pressed again, then the remaining time will be decreased by 10 minutes each time it is pressed (e.g., if SLEEP is pressed with the display reading 54 minutes, it will be reduced to 50 minutes. If it is pressed again, it will then be reduced to 40, then 30, and so on). If the SLEEP button is pressed when the time displayed is less than 10 minutes, the sleep function is cancelled.

If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone 2 only, set the sleep function with main zone turned on and then put the main zone into the standby state.
