MUTING
Selecting the Front Speakers
IMPORTANT:
You can activate two pairs of the front speakers at the same time only
when the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR switch on the rear panel is
set to “HIGH” and when no signals are sent to the center and rear
speakers. Otherwise, activating one pair of the speakers deactivates
the other.
On the front panel ONLY:
When you have connected two pairs of the front speakers, you can
select which to use.
To use the speakers connected to the
FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, press
SPEAKERS ON/OFF 1 so that SPEAKERS 1
indicator lights up on the display. Make sure
that the SPEAKERS 2 is not lit on the display.
To use the speakers connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2
terminals, press SPEAKERS ON/OFF 2 so that SPEAKERS 2
indicator lights up on the display. Make sure that the SPEAKERS 1
is not lit on the display.
To use both sets of the speakers, press SPEAKERS ON/OFF 1 and
2 so that the SPEAKERS 1 and SPEAKERS 2 indicators light up on
the display.
To use neither sets of the speakers, press SPEAKERS ON/OFF 1
and 2 so that the SPEAKERS 1 and SPEAKERS 2 indicators
disappear from the display.
The HEADPHONE indicator lights up and “HEADPHONE”
appears on the display.
• Activating the speaker turns on the Surround and DSP modes
previously selected.
• Listening only with headphones:
You can listen with the headphones without deactivating both
pairs of speakers by connecting a pair of headphones to the
PHONES jack on the front panel. If you want to use a pair of
headphones without outputting sounds from the front speakers,
you must turn off both pairs of the front speakers as mentioned
above.
Notes:
• If you use any of the Surround and DSP modes using the center or
rear speakers with both front speakers activated, the speakers
connected to the FRONT SPEAKERS
2
terminals are deactivated.
• When you use HEADPHONE DSP mode, you can enjoy spacious
stereo effect. (see page 25).
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on
headphones, as high volume can damage both the headphones and
your hearing.
