Pioneer VSX-84TXSI Using other functions, Reducing the level of an analog signal, Recout Source

10Using other functions

•Note that the setting you make here is stored in memory, even if you switch off the receiver, so if you want to record a different input source later, you must do so with REC SELECT, or by selecting

RECOUT SOURCE.

3After RECOUT disappears from the display, select the input source you want to listen to.

This will be heard from the main system without affecting your recording.1

Tip

•If you have a digital recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUT1 (ROOM3) digital output and ROOM 3 is switched on (see Using the multi-room controls on page 59), you can also select a different input source for this output while ROOM 3 shows in the display.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find the that the OVER indicator is lights often, or you can

hear distortion in the sound.2

Using the sleep timer

The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use the remote control to set the sleep timer.

•While listening to a source, press VIDEO SEL (VIDEO SELECT) to select the video source you want to watch. Press repeatedly to cycle through the possible video sources. You can select DVD, TV, SAT, DVR1, DVR2, VIDEO1, VIDEO2 or OFF (no video signal).3

Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω impedance rating.

• With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ ON while holding down the SPEAKERS button. Each time you do this, you switch between the impedance settings:

•SP 6 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 Ω.

•SP 8 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 Ω or more.

Note

1• Note that switching the ROOM 2 input source (as explained in Multi-room listening on page 57) also changes the RECOUT input source.

• If RECOUT SOURCE is selected, changing the input source likewise changes the input source used for your recording.

2The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct modes.

3Note that this feature will not work with video sources assigned to either of the HDMI video inputs.

4You can also switch off the sleep timer simply by switching off the receiver.
