sleep time returns to 0 minutes. Pressing the
POWER on the front panel (No.1) or STAND-BY but-
ton will also cancel the Sleep mode.
• MUTE:
Press the MUTE button to temporarily switch off the
sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode
is indicated by “MUTING” flashing in red in the dis-
play area. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute
does not affect recordings made using the Tape out-
puts but will affect the signal going to the Audio Pre-
outs.
NOTE:
When the unit is in mute mode, any adjustment of
the VOLUME CONTROL on the front panel (No.9)
will release the muting, i.e. the original volume level
will be resumed.
• VIDEO 1,2,3,4,5, CD, DISC, EXT.5.1, FM, AM
Unlike the T 761 front panel operation, where
sources are selected indirectly using the Input
Down/Up buttons, these inputs can be accessed
directly by pressing the button for the desired source.
• MASTER VOLUME
Master Volume
3
or
4
respectively increases or
decreases the volume setting for all speakers. The
display panel will indicate the level set. The Volume
control does not affect recordings made using the
Tape and Video, or Tape, Video 3 and Video 4 out-
puts but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp
output (Audio Pre Out).

Display and the ENTER is used to confirm the choice.
Press

2
to move cursor right. Then
press ENTER to access.
With the four cursor buttons the relative volume
level trims for center, left and right surround channels
can be adjusted. Press the LEVELS button to select
the channel for which you wish to adjust the level.
Refer also to chapter “On Screen Display” and
“Setting Up the Surround Sound System” for more
information.
• TEST
Pressing the TEST button, engages the Test signal
generator to allow for adjustment of all speaker lev-
els, so that each channel can be adjusted for equal
loudness at your listening position. The test signal
scrolls automatically with 5-second intervals from
Front Left, Center, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left,
to subwoofer in continuous cycles. If an adjustment in
setting is made for one of the speakers, scrolling will
stop until 5 seconds after the adjustment was made.
Both display panel and OSD show which speaker is
being fed with the test signal. Use the cursor
1
and
2
button to respectively decrease or increase the level
for the current speaker. Press the TEST button again
to leave or cancel the Test mode, any changes will be
memorized automatically.
Refer also to chapter “On Screen Display” and
“Setting Up the Surround Sound System” for more
information.
• LEVELS
Although the T 761 is correctly set-up it may some-
times be desirable to make minor adjustments to suit
particular software. Pressing the LEVELS button
allows for direct adjustment of Center, Rear and
Subwoofer levels. Press the LEVELS button to scroll
to the next speaker. Both display panel and OSD
show which speaker can be adjusted. Use the cursor
1
and
2
button to respectively decrease or increase
the level for the current speaker.
With each successive press within the default time
the unit scrolls to the next available channel for
adjustment:
LEFT

Sound System” for more information.
• DYNAMIC RANGE
The DYN. R button, which can be used only in
combination with a Dolby Digital source, incremental-
ly reduces the audio track’s dynamic range in four
steps (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) to allow for com-
fortable listening under a variety of conditions. The
normal or default position is 100%.
To adjust the dynamic range, each consecutive
press of the DYN. R button will reduce the value in
25% increments, as shown in the alpha-numeric dis-
play section.
NOTE:
Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source’s
full dynamic range (the difference between very loud
and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desir-
able to reduce the dynamic range. For example,
when playing a movie late at night, loud explosions
might wake sleeping family members. Simply turning
the volume control down would probably make a
whisper in the next scene inaudible. The DYN. R but-
ton solves this dilemma by progressively lowering the
volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of
softer sounds.
• MODE
The MODE button scrolls through the available sur-
round sound modes. The button functions in the
same way as the SURROUND MODE button on the
T 761 front panel (No. 11 on front panel drawing).
