Basic Operations
■Operating on the AV receiver
■Operating with the remote controller
Note
• When the subwoofer volume level is set to a positive (+) value,
the maximum master volume level is reduced proportionally.
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT
LEVEL control.
Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass
sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the sub-
woofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer
level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back
it off slightly.
You can display various information about the current
input source as follows. (Components connected to the
UNIVERSAL PORT jack are excluded.)
Tip
• Alternatively, you can use the AV receiver’s DISPLAY.
The following information can typically be displayed.
*1
When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset number, and
frequency are displayed.
*2
If the input signal is analog, no format information is dis-
played. If the input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is
displayed. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the signal
format is displayed.
Information is displayed for about three seconds, then the pre-
viously displayed information reappears.
*3
The input source is displayed with the default name even
when you have selected a name in “Name Edit” (➔ 39).
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality
of compressed music files.
Tip
• Alternatively, you can use the remote controller’s AUDIO and
arrow buttons.
• See “Music Optimizer” for more details (➔ 42).
You can adjust the brightness of the AV receiver’s display.
Tip
• Alternatively, you can use the AV receiver’s DIMMER (North
American models).
This manual describes the procedure using the
remote controller unless otherwise specified.
