Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No
sound comes out of the speakers.
Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or put-
ting on headphones.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT turn off the System with the volu-
me set to an extremely high level; otherwi-
se a sudden blast of sound could damage
your hearing, speakers and/or headphones
when you turn on the System or start play-
ing any source next time.
REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume
level while the System is in standby mode.
Fade-out Muting (FADE MUTING)
You can mute the output with one touch operation.
To mute the output,
press the FADE MUTING button
on the Remote Control. Then, “FADE MUTING” blinks
and the output will be faded out and becomes 0.
To release muting,
press the FADE MUTING button once
again. Then, the output will be faded in to the original level.
• Adjusting the volume causes the muting process (fading
out to 0) to release.
• If you use the AHB PRO button or the BASS/TREBLE but-
ton during muting, the FADE MUTING button does not
work to release muting. In this case, turn the VOLUME
control on the Unit or the / _ button on the Re-
mote Control to newly set the volume.
