Displaying Source Information

You can display various information about the current input source as follows.

Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, and then press the [DISPLAY] button repeatedly to cycle through the available infor- mation.

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. (The Powered Zone 2 speakers are not turned off.)

When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it was already set to Pure Audio, Mono, Stereo, or Direct, in which case it stays the same.

When the multichannel DVD input is selected, only the front left and front right channels can be heard in the headphones.

Note:

This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [DISPLAY] button.

The following information can typically be displayed:
