1 headphone jack	memo		• All listening modes will be downmixed to 2 chan-
			nels.

			place you won’t be able to use headphones.

Video Select

This function allows you to listen to one sound source while you watch a different video source on your TV. The sound source is set in the normal fashion as is explained on p.46-47. You then alter the video input with the VIDEO SELECT button.

1Use the VIDEO SELECT button on the AMPLIFIER’S SUB screen or the front panel to cycle through the different

possible video inputs.

The first press shows the video input you are currently using. After that pressing VIDEO SELECT cycles though the possibilities in the following order:


DVD/LD		TV	SAT	VIDEO
OFF	VCR 3		VCR 2	VCR 1/DVR

The OFF setting means you are listening without a video signal. (Also, when you select CD-R/TAPE1/MD, CD, TUNER, or PHONO functions the VIDEO SELECT will be set to off.)

After choosing a video input the display on the amplifier will show that input for about 5 seconds and then revert to showing the listening mode the amplifier is in.

memo • The VIDEO SELECT remains set to the input you chose until you change the audio input.

•If you change audio functions the amplifier will reset itself to make the video and audio inputs correspond.

Also, if you switch the power of the amplifier off when you turn it back on the video and audio in- puts will reset so that they correspond. The same thing will happen if you select CD-R/TAPE1/MD, CD, TUNER, or PHONO functions.
