The volume can be adjusted within the range of
–80 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 0.5 dB. However,
when the channel level is set as described on page
20 or pages 39, if the volume for any channel is set
at +0.5 dB or greater, the volume cannot be
adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum
volume adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum
value of channel level)”.)
Input mode when playing DTS sources
• Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs
are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.
When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to
connect the source component to the digital input
jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
“DTS”.

Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks
• When the input mode is set to the external input
(EXT. IN), the surround mode (DIRECT, STEREO,
STANDARD, 5/7CH STEREO, WIDE SCREEN or DSP
SIMULATION) cannot be set.
NOTES:
• In play modes other than the external input
mode, the signals connected to these jacks
cannot be played. In addition, signals cannot be
output from channels not connected to the
input jacks.
• The external input mode can be set for any input
source. To watch video while listening to sound,
select the input source to which the video signal
is connected, then set this mode.
• If the subwoofer output level seems to high, set
the “SW ATT” surround parameter to “ON”.

Once this is selected, the input signals
connected to the FL (front left), FR (front right),
C (center), SL (surround left), SR (surround

surround back (left and right) speaker systems
as well as the pre-out jacks without passing
through the surround circuitry.
In addition, the signal input to the SW
(subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT
SUBWOOFER jack.
