BASIC
Video Select
This function allows you to listen to one sound source while you watch a different video source on your TV. The
sound source is set in the normal fashion as explained on page 41. You then change the video input with the
VIDEO SEL button.
1
Press RECEIVER.
2
Press the VIDEO SEL button on the
remote control to cycle through the
different possible video inputs.
The first press shows the video input you are currently
using. After that pressing VIDEO SELECT cycles though
the possibilities in the following order:
The OFF setting means you are listening without a
video signal. (Also, when you select CD, CD-R/TAPE1,
MD/TAPE2, TUNER or LINE functions the VIDEO
SELECT will be set to off.)
After choosing a video input the display on the receiver
will show that input for about 5 seconds and then
revert to showing the listening mode the receiver is in.
The VIDEO SELECT remains set to the input you
chose until you change the audio input.
If you change functions the receiver will reset it-
self to make the video and audio inputs corre-
spond.
Also, if you switch the power of the receiver off
when you turn it back on the video and audio in-
puts will reset so that they correspond.

Adjusting the Brightness of the Display (DIMMER)
Use the display DIMMER button to adjust the brightness of the fluorescent display.
1
Press RECEIVER.
2
Use the display DIMMER button on
the remote control to alternate
between the different levels of
brightness for the display.
Four levels of brightness ranging from very dim to very
bright can be selected. Each press changes the
brightness of the display. When cycling through the
options, the default brightness can also be selected.
Please note: It is a feature of this unit that the
fluorescent display will be brighter for a few sec-
onds after you choose a function (like DVD/LD,
CD, etc.) and then get softer. This will still hap-
pen when you adjust the brightness but the new
setting will be the one the display softens to.
