Common Functions—Continued
With this function you can temporarily mute the output of the
TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.
Muting is cancelled when the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is set
to Standby.
With this function you can adjust the volume level of each
individual speaker as you like. Unlike the individual speaker
volume settings described on page 27, these adjustments can
be carried out while listening to your favorite music, and they
are temporary (i.e., they are not saved when the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E is set to Standby), although you can save them
if you want.
To cancel this function, press the [CH SEL] button repeat-
edly until the previous display appears.
To save your adjustments, updating the settings described on
page 27, press the [TEST] button.
Notes:
•You cannot use this function while the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is
muted (see page 33).
• Only speakers that are included in the current configuration can
be adjusted. See “Specifying the Number of Speakers” on
page 25.
• The subwoofer cannot be selected if the subwoofer mode is set to
“Subwoofer Off” (page 25).
With the sleep timer you can set the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E
so that it automatically turns off after a set period.
You can connect a pair of stereo headphones (1/4-inch phone
plug) to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s PHONES jack for pri-
vate listening, as shown.
Notes:
•Always turn down the volume before connecting your
headphones.
• Speaker sets A and B are turned off while the headphones
plug is inserted in the PHONES jack.
• When you connect a pair of headphones to the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s
already set to Stereo or Direct. When you disconnect the
headphones, the previous listening mode is selected.
• When you use the multi-channel inputs, only the front-left
and front-right channels can be heard in the headphones.
