Using Headphones

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

Notes:

•Always turn down the volume before connecting your headphones.

•The speakers are turned off while the headphones plug is inserted in the PHONES jack (Zone 2 speakers are not turned off).

•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.

•To adjust the headphone level, press the [CH SEL] button on the remote controller, and then press the [LEVEL +]/[LEVEL -] buttons. You can adjust the level between –12 dB and +12 dB.
