Yamaha DSP-A3090 19

FBASS and TREBLE Controls

Adjust low and high frequency response respectively for the left main, right main and center channels only.

*Increasing low frequency response with the BASS control will not be so effective if you set the function “1. SPEAKER SET”

in the SET MENU mode to output low bass signals at the main channels and/or the center channel from the subwoofer. (See pages 30–32 for details.)

GPROGRAM Selector

Sequentially selects the digital sound field processing programs in the + or – direction.

HBALANCE Control

Adjusts the left and right output volume to the Main Speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker positions or listening room conditions.

IEFFECT Switch

Normally ON, this switch can be turned OFF to disable output from the center and effect speakers so that the sound becomes normal 2-channel stereo.

*Even if this switch is off, when the Dolby Surround AC-3 is decoded, signals at all channels are distributed to the main

channels and output from the main speakers.

JRET OUT Selector

Selects the source to be recorded to a tape deck 1 or

VCR 1 independently of the setting of the INPUT SELECTOR. However, when set to the SOURCE position, the setting of the INPUT SELECTOR decides the source to be recorded to a tape deck or VCR.

KINPUT MODE Switch

Switches the mode of selecting input signals between “AUTO” and “ANALOG” modes for sources that input two or more types of signals to this unit. (See page 46 for details.)

*For LD source, this switches among “AUTO”, “AC-3 RF”, “DIGITAL” and “ANALOG” modes.

LINPUT SELECTOR

Selects the input source that you want to listen to (and watch).

MMaster VOLUME Control

Simultaneously controls volume level at all outputs: front effect, main, rear effect, center, and subwoofer. (This does not affect TAPE REC OUT level.)

*When the volume is decreased by pressing the MUTING key on the remote control unit, the indicator on the master VOLUME control flashes on and off.
