Reducing the level of an analog signal
The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find
the that the OVER indicator is lights often, or you can
hear distortion in the sound.

Press
RECEIVER
, then press
A.ATT
to switch the
input attenuator on or off.
Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a
specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without
worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use
the remote control to set the sleep timer.
Press

SLEEP
repeatedly to set
the sleep time.
You can check the remaining sleep time at any time

front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
Press

change the brightness of the front panel display.
Switching the speaker impedance
We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system,
but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you
plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω impedance rating. Use
the front panel controls to do this.
With the receiver in standby, press
STANDBY/
ON
while holding down the
SPEAKERS
button.
Each time you do this, you switch between the
impedance settings:
Speaker 6 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are
rated at 6 Ω.
Speaker 8 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are
rated at 8 Ω or more.
Checking your system settings
Use the status display screen to check your current
settings for features such as surround back channel
processing and your current MCACC preset.

system settings.
These appear on the front panel display.
