Using the sleep time (remote controller only)

The SLEEP button enables you to set the TX-SR700/700E/600/ 600E to turn off automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed thereafter, this remaining time until the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E 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 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 the main zone turned on and then put the main zone into the standby state.

Listening with headphones

To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard stereo plug into the PHONES jack on the TX-SR700/700E/600/ 600E front panel.

When you connect the headphones, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E will enter the STEREO mode automatically and no sound will be heard from the speakers. When the headphones are unplugged, the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E returns to its original listening mode. When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Pure Audio (TX-SR700/700E only) listening modes. If you have selected multichannel audio, you will only hear the sound output to the front right and left channels.

The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup Menu (see page 56).

3.Turn on the connected DVD player and start playing the desired media.

4.If necessary, adjust the output level of each speaker as desired (see page 46).

Adjust the volume at each speaker so that all the volumes sound at the same level at the listening position. For the front right, front left, center, surround right, and surround left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels. The subwoofer can be adjusted between –30 and +12 decibels.

5.Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME dial or

the VOL buttons on the remote controller.
