Enjoying music or videos with the TX-DS898
Using the sleep time (remote controller only)
The Sleep button enables you to set the TX-DS898 to turn off
automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the
TX-DS898 will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed
thereafter, the remaining time until the TX-DS898 turns off
decreases by 10 minutes. While, the sleep function is enabled, you
can press the Sleep button to see how much time is left. To cancel the
sleep function, press the Sleep button when the time displayed is less
than 10 minutes.
If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same
time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone
2 only, set the sleep function with main zone turned on and then put
the main zone into the standby state.
Temporarily changing the speaker output levels
To change the individual speaker volumes temporarily, follow the
procedure given below. Each channel can be set between –12 to +12
decibels. Note that the calibration settings will return to the original
settings when the TX-DS898 is put in standby.
1. Press the CH Sel button and select
the desired speaker.
2. Press the + or – button to adjust the
volume level.

Notes:
• You cannot select a speaker if the Speaker Config sub-menu of
the Speaker Setup is set to No or None.
• If the speaker level is set to +1 dB or higher, the maximum level
indicated on the display will change if you raise the volume
level.
• When you press the Test button after you set the level, the
current level will be used as the value set via the test tone.
