Theater Bypass

This setup option allows In 9/Multi 1 or In 10/Multi 2 to function as bypass inputs. This means they will pass the signals from the corresponding 7.1 channel inputs directly to the 7.1 channel output, bypassing all P 7 volume, tone and trim controls. Bypass Yes (on) is only used when the P 7 multichannel input jacks are connected to a surround sound receiver with its own volume control. For more information about hooking up a component using the bypass mode, see page 11.

WARNING: Do not select Bypass “Yes” for an input which is connected to a source component such as a DVD player. Since the P 7 Theater Bypass mode provides no volume control, the sound level would be very high and could damage your speakers. The Theater Bypass mode is suitable only for source components which have their own volume controls!

Press the Enter button to set the Theater Bypass option for In 9/Multi 1.

•Press the VOL Up or VOL Down buttons to select Bypass Yes or No for In 9/Multi 1.

•Press the Enter button to set In 10/Multi 2.

•Press the VOL Up or VOL Down buttons to select Bypass Yes or No for In 10/Multi 2.

•After you fi nish, press the Exit Setup button to return to the main Setup menu.
