With the sleep timer, you can set the AV receiver so that
it turns off automatically after a specified period.

For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo
headphones (1/4-inch phone plug) to the AV receiver’s
PHONES jack.
Notes:
• Always turn down the volume before connecting your
headphones.
• The speakers are turned off while the headphones plug
is inserted in the PHONES jack.
• When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening
mode is set to Stereo, unless it was set to Pure Audio,
Mono, Stereo, or Direct, in which case it stays the
same.
• When the multichannel DVD input is selected, only
the front left and front right channels can be heard in
the headphones.

porary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver

Notes:
• You cannot use this function while the AV receiver is
muted.
• Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker
Configuration cannot be adjusted.
