Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

Connecting for Power
Make sure you connect all your	EN
other electronic components and
the speakers before plugging
your receiver into the outlet.
Plug the power cord in the wall
outlet, matching the wide blade
of the plug with the wide slot in
the outlet. Be sure to insert the
plug completely.

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround chan- nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro- ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

Using Headphones

To listen privately through your audio system, use the PHONES jack on the receiver. However, make sure you turn down the volume before you put on the head- phones. Increase the volume to the desired level after headphones are in place.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWN MIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatically converts multi-channel speaker outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleas- ure.
