Using the SEA Modes
The SEA (Sound Effect Amplifier) modes give you control of the way your music sounds.
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).
Selecting Your Favorite SEA Mode
On the front panel:
Press SEA MODE repeatedly until the SEA
mode you want appears on the display.
• Each time you press the button, the SEA mode
changes as follows:
SEA ROCK: Gives a heavy sound. Both high and low
frequencies are boosted.
SEA MUSICAL: Enhances the mid-frequency range, which
the human voice is mostly made up of.
SEA MOVIE: Adds breadth to sounds so you feel like
you are in a movie theater.
SEA COUNTRY: Enhances the high-frequency range so that
instruments such the violin and banjo are
emphasized.
SEA JAZZ: Gives a feeling of a live atmosphere.
Good for acoustic music.
SEA USERMODE: Your original SEA adjustment (see the
right).
SEA OFF: No SEA mode is applied (see below).
Notes:
• The SEA modes cannot be used for recording.
• When the SEA mode is turned on, the SEA indicator lights up on
the display.
• When the SEA mode is used with the DAP mode (see page 23),
sounds may be distorted. If this happens, turn off the DAP mode or
decrease the effect level of the DAP mode.
To cancel the SEA mode
Press SEA MODE repeatedly until “SEA OFF” appears. The SEA
indicator goes off from the display.
From the remote control:
1. Press SOUND.
The 10 keys are activated for sound adjustments.

on the display.
To cancel the SEA mode

Your adjustment is stored into the SEA
USERMODE.
