Selecting a sound source
Setting the input signal format
If the input source is DVD, CD, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2 or TAPE, you
can specify the input signal format.
With the initial setting, AUTO is assigned to the DVD, CD and
VIDEO 1 inputs, and ANALOG is assigned to the TAPE and
VIDEO 2 inputs. You can change this according to the signal
format of the input source.
For example, follow the steps below to specify the input signal
format for the VIDEO 2 input:
1. Press the VIDEO 2 button.
VIDEO 2 is selected as the input source and “VIDEO 2”
appears in the display.
2. Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button.
The current setting is displayed.
3.
Press the AUDIO SELECTOR button repeatedly
until the desired input signal format is displayed.
Each press of the button switches the displayed input format as
follows. AUTO is skipped when the selected input is not
assigned to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks (refer to page 12).
After 5 seconds, the original display appears and the setting is
completed.
Notes:
• With ANALOG setting, even if a digital signal is input from
the same component, only the analog signal will be output.
• When a digital input setting is changed while an input signal
format other than MULTI CH is set, the digital input becomes
automatically ANALOG if it has been “– – – – –” or “AUTO”
if it has been “OPT”, “COAX 1” or “COAX 2”.
Sleep function (Remote controller only)
The sleep timer can turn off the power to the system after a
specified time period.
Press the SLEEP button on the remote controller.
The SLEEP indicator will light and “SLEEP 90 MIN” (the
TX-DS494 will turn off after 90 minutes) appears in the display.
• Pressing the SLEEP button each time reduces the time value in
10-minute increments.
• To cancel the sleep function, press the SLEEP button when the
time displayed is less than 10 minutes.
• While the sleep function is enabled, you can press the SLEEP
button to see how much time is left.
Mute function (Remote controller only)
The muting function can turn down the playback sound
immediately. This can useful, for example, when you receive a
telephone call while listening to music or another source.
Press the MUTING button on the remote controller.
The MUTING indicator will flash and the sound from the speakers
or headphones will be switched off by the receiver’s audio muting
circuits.
Press the MUTING button again to turn the sound back on.
Note:
The mute function will be cancelled if you turn off the TX-DS494.
