Use the AV receiver’s input selector buttons to select the input source.
To select the input source with the remote controller, press the
[RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button, and then use the INPUT SELECTOR
buttons.
On the remote controller, the [V1], [V2], and [V3] buttons select the VIDEO 1,
VIDEO 2, and VIDEO 3 input sources respectively.
2
To turn the speakers on or off, use the AV receiver’s SPEAKERS [A] and
[B] buttons, or use the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button.
Pressing the remote controller’s [SP A/B] button cycles through the following settings:
Speaker Set A
Speaker Set A&B
Speaker Set B
Off.
Note that while speaker set B is on,
speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel
playback.
See page 5 for more information about speaker sets A and B.
3
Start playback on the source component.
To watch a DVD or other video source, on your TV, select the video input that’s con-
nected to the AV receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack.
4
To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control, or the remote
controller’s [VOL] button.
The volume can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX. Since the AV receiver is
designed for home theater enjoyment, it has a wide volume range for precise adjust-
ment.
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 subwoofer 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.
5
Select a suitable listening mode and enjoy!
See “Using the Listening Modes” on page 46.
