Basic Operation
Warning: To prevent possible hearing loss, turn VOLUME to MIN before you turn on the receiver or change the program sources. After you turn on the receiver or change the program source, adjust VOL- UME to a comfortable listening level.
Note: If you select a source while TAPE 2 MONITOR is engaged, TAPE 2 flashes five times on the display, reminding you to disengage the TAPE 2 MONITOR func- tion.
Note: To find out what a particular button or control is used for, see Page 24 (for the remote control) or Page 31 (for the front panel) to find the page where the button or control is described.
The controls on the remote control work the same as the buttons on the receiver’s front panel, though some are labeled differently.
