Follow the steps below to select a device to play the sound source.
Note:
If you hear no sound from the speakers, check the following items:
•
Make sure that all devices and speakers are connected correctly and securely.
•
Make sure that the TAPE MONITOR indicator is not lit on the display when you select an input source other than TAPE. If the indicator is
lit, no sound will be produced. Press the TAPE (MONITOR) button to turn it off and press the desired input selector button.
•
The sound is muted when the MUTING indicator is lit. Press the MUTING button on the remote controller to cancel the mute function.
•
Refer to page 26 for more information on how to use TAPE MONITOR for recording.
•
When you select a source that is connected to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the rear panel, you must select digital input (refer to page 17.).
•
If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you need to adjust the level of each speaker (refer to page 17).
•
You can use the MASTER VOLUME control to adjust the overall speaker level in the range of –
∞
to –61 to +18dB. The level value will
appear on the display. However, if you have set the level of any individual speaker to +1dB or higher, setting the MASTER VOLUME
control to its maximum will not raise the overall volume level to +18dB (maximum). Refer to the following sections for more informa-
tion on adjusting the speaker level:
“Test Tone (Remote control only)” on page 15.
“When Multi channel input is selected as a source” on page 17.
