1STANDBY/ON

Turns this unit on (On mode) and off (Standby mode). When you turn on this unit, you will hear a click and there will be a 4 to 5-second delay before this unit can reproduce sound.

In Standby mode, this unit consumes a small amount of power so it can respond to the remote control.

2INPUT MODE

Selects the mode of input for sources that output two or more types of signals to this unit (see page __).

Caution

•You cannot control the input mode when you select 6CH INPUT as the input source.

3INPUT SELECTOR

Selects the input source (D-TV/LD, CABLE, SAT, VCR 1, VCR 2, VCR3/DVR, V-AUX, DVD, MD/TAPE, CD-R, TUNER, CD, PHONO) you want to listen to or watch (see page __).

4Remote control sensor

Receives signals from the remote control.

5SPEAKERS A/B

When pushed in (ON), these buttons turn on the set of main speakers connected to the A and/or B terminals on the rear panel.

6Front panel display

Shows information about the operational status of this unit (see page __).

76CH INPUT

Switches between 6CH INPUT mode and normal input modes. 6CH INPUT mode takes priority over the source selected with INPUT SELECTOR.

You cannot use DSP sound field programs while using an external decoder.

df

8PROGRAM q/w

Selects the sound field program (see page __). Selecting a sound field program turns on the effect.

9PROCESSOR DIRECT ON/OFF

When pushed in (ON), BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and BASS EXTENSION are bypassed, eliminating any alteration of the original signal.

0STEREO/EFFECT

Switches the effect speakers (center, front effect, rear and rear center) on and off. If you turn off the output of these speakers using STEREO/EFFECT, all DTS and Dolby Digital audio signals are directed to the main left and right channels except for the LFE channel.

Cautions

•When DTS or Dolby Digital signals are mixed, the left and right main channel signal levels may not match.

•If “1B MAIN SP” on the SET MENU is set to “SMALL” and “1E LFE/BASS OUT” is set to “SW”, or “1E LFE/BASS OUT” is set to “BOTH”, the LFE signals will be output from the subwoofer.

qFM/AM

Switches the reception band between FM and AM.

wA/B/C/D/E

Selects one of the 5 preset station groups (A to E).

eBASS EXTENSION ON/OFF

When pushed in (ON), this feature boosts the bass frequency of the left and right main channels by +6 dB (60 Hz) while maintaining overall tonal balance. This boost is useful if you do not use a subwoofer.

However, this boost may not be noticeable if the main speakers are set to “SMALL” and the bass output mode is set to “SW.”
