Listening to an External Source
If other audio component(s) are connected to this system
(see page 16) You can hear the external source through
the speakers of this system.
1. You can press the TV or Video button on the front
panel of the unit or the Function button on the remote
to select the desired external source directly.
2. Operate the component which you wish to listen to and
is connected to this system.
3. Adjust the volume level by pressing the VOL Ù / Ú
button on the front panel or remote control of this
system.
Mute Control
To temporarily shut off the sound from the speakers press
the MUTE button on the remote control. The "MUTING"
indicator flashes on the front panel display.
Press the MUTE button again to cancel Mute and restore
the sound. The "MUTING" indicator disappears.
Night Playback Mode (Front Panel
Only)
This feature provides for additional Dynamic Range
Compression during playback of a DVD movie. Press
the NIGHT button on the front panel to switch the night
function ‘ON’. The sound level will be reduced but you
will still have the proper balance of high and low
frequencies to maintain the realism of the special
effects. Press the NIGHT button again to switch the
night function ‘OFF’ and resume the normal sound
level. This feature is useful when you watch a DVD
movie late at night and do not wish to disturb others.
Speaker Configuration Setup (Front
Panel Only)
As long as you are using the 6 original speakers that
were supplied with this system, you should not change
the Speaker Configuration Setup. The default Speaker
Configuration setup sends only the mid-range and high
frequencies to the satellite speakers and all the low
frequency bass sounds to the subwoofer. If you ever
decide to replace your front left/right, center or rear
satellite speakers with larger full range speakers that
can handle low frequency bass sounds you would use
the SPEAKER Configuration SETUP button and the
SELECT button on the front panel to change the front
left/right, center, or rear settings from “Small” to “Large”.
If you change the front left/right, center, and rear
speaker setup from “Small” to “Large”, the system will
automatically send low frequency bass sounds to these
speakers as well. In this case you could also use the
SPEAKER Configuration SETUP and SELECT buttons
to shut the subwoofer ‘Off’, and to adjust the rear
speaker delay from 15ms to 30ms. See page 36 for more
details.
Headphone Jack
Connect a set of stereo headphones to this jack for
private listening without disturbing others. The speakers
are automatically disconnected when headphones are
in use. You must use a headphone with a full size plug
(¼”/6.25mm diameter).
When using headphones always set the volume
control to a low level before putting the headphones
on. Then put the headphones on and very gradually
increase the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
