Selecting the Front Speakers
On the front panel
only:
When you have connected two pairs of the front speakers, you can
select which to use.
Press SPEAKERS 1 or SPEAKERS 2 to select the speaker to use.
Each time you press the button, the lamp on the respective button
turns on and off. When the lamp on either button lights up, the
respective speakers are activated.
IMPORTANT:
You can activate two pairs of the front speakers at the same time only when no
signals are sent to the center and rear speakers. Otherwise, activating one pair of
the speakers deactivates the other.
Listening only with headphones
1. Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack on the front panel.
2. Press SPEAKERS 1 and/or 2 so that no lamps on the buttons are turned on.
Muting the Sound
From the remote control
only:
Press MUTE to mute the sound through all speakers
and headphones connected.
“MUTE” appears on the display and the volume turns off (the
volume level indicator goes off).
To restore the sound, press MUTE again so that “OFF” appears on the display.
Turning MASTER VOLUME or pressing /– also restores the sound at the
previous volume level.
Recording a Source
You can record any source playing through the receiver to a cassette deck (or a MD
recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks and the VCR connected to the VCR jacks at
the same time.
While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at whatever sound level
you like, without affecting the sound levels of the recording.
