VOLUME
Selecting different sources for picture and
sound
While watching pictures from a video source (DVD player, VCR, or
DBS tuner), you can listen to sound of an audio source.
• Once you have selected a video source, pictures of the selected
source are sent to the TV until you select another video source.
Press one of the audio source selecting buttons—
PHONO, CD, TAPE/MD, CDR, FM/AM,
EXT 7.1CH—while viewing the picture from a video
component such as the VCR or DVD player, etc.
Adjusting the Zone 1 Volume
On the unit:
To increase the volume,
turn MASTER
VOLUME clockwise.
To decrease the volume,
turn it
counterclockwise.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME
rapidly, the volume level also changes
rapidly.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME slowly,
the volume level also changes slowly.
From the remote control:
To increase the volume,
press .
To decrease the volume,
press VOLUME –.
CAUTIONS:
• Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If
the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound energy
can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.
• Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling the
receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when
adjusting the volume level in Zone 2 from Zone 1.
Notes:
• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “– – – dB”
(minimum), “–71.0 dB” to “+18.0 dB” (maximum).
• If you set One Touch Operation to “ON” (see page 44), you do not
have to adjust the volume level each time you change the source. It
is automatically set to the stored level. (However, if you have turned
off the receiver with the volume level set at more than level “–35
dB,” the volume level will be automatically set at level “–35 dB” next
time you turn on the receiver.)

How to use the speaker and signal indicators
To obtain the best performance of this receiver while using
the Surround/THX/DSP modes,
check the speaker and signal
indicators on the display carefully and set the speakers correctly.
About Dual Mono
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound) used
for some TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not
identical with those analog formats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It
allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-
channel) to be recorded separately.
•
When Dual Mono signals are detected,
the
DUAL indicator lights up.
You can select either channel you want to
listen to (see page 42).
DUAL indicator
Ex. No sound comes out of the
center speaker and surround
back speakers though center
channel and surround back
channel signals are coming
into this receiver.
