Basic Settings
Some of the following settings are required after connecting and positioning your speakers in your listening room, while
others will make operations easier.
AUDIO/
TV/VCR
CATV/DBS
IMPORTANT:
When using the remote control, check to see if its
remote control mode selector is set to the correct
position:
To operate this receiver, set it to “AUDIO/TV/
VCR” (except when selecting the DBS tuner as
the source).
Recording a Source
You can record any source playing through the receiver to a cassette
deck (or an MD recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks and the
VCRs connected to the VCR 1 and VCR 2 jacks at the same time.
While recording, you can adjust the volume level, without affecting
the sound levels of the recording.
IMPORTANT:
• Before recording a digital source, turn off the DSP mode (see page
20).
• While recording a digital source, do not change the SEA mode
(see page 19) or DSP mode (see page 20); otherwise, recording
will be interrupted.
Note:
The SEA modes and DSP modes cannot affect the recording while
recording an analog source.
Adjusting the Front Speaker Output
Balance
If the sounds you hear from the front right and left speakers are
unequal, you can adjust the speaker output balance.
Before you start, remember....
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is
canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
On the front panel ONLY:
1. Press BALANCE/SURROUND
ADJUST repeatedly until “L/R
BALANCE” appears on the
display.
The display changes to show the current setting.
2. Turn MULTI JOG to adjust the
balance.
• Turning it clockwise decreases the left
channel output.
• Turning it counterclockwise decreases the
right channel output.
Changing the Source Name
When you have connected an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks
or the DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks on the rear panel,
change the source name shown on the display when you select the
MD recorder or DBS tuner as the source.
On the front panel ONLY:
1. When changing the source name
from “TAPE” to “MD”:
•
Turn SOURCE SELECTOR
until “TAPE” appears.
When changing the source name from “TV
SOUND” to “DBS”:
•
Turn SOURCE SELECTOR until “TV
SOUND” appears.
2. Press and hold SOURCE NAME
(LOUDNESS) until “ASSGN.
MD” or “ASSGN. DBS” appears
on the display.
To change the source name to “TAPE” or “TV SOUND,” repeat
the same procedure above — in step 1, select “MD” or “DBS” then
press and hold SOURCE NAME (LOUDNESS).
Note:
Without changing the source name, you can still use the connected
components. However, there may be some inconvenience.
– “TAPE” or “TV SOUND” will appear on the display when you select
the MD recorder or DBS tuner.
– You cannot use the digital input (see page 13) for the MD recorder
and the DBS tuner.
– You cannot use the COMPU LINK remote control system (see page
36) to operate the MD recorder.
Setting the Subwoofer Information
Register whether or not you have connected a subwoofer.
Before you start, remember....
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is
canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
On the front panel ONLY:
1. Press SETTING repeatedly until
“SUBWOOFER” appears on the
display.
The display changes to show the current setting.
2. Turn MULTI JOG to register
whether you have connected a
subwoofer or not.

“YES” or “NO.”
