Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for
balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from chan-
nel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel
plays at the same loudness level. (details see operation of
test/setup)
Level adjustment & surround channel level
expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud
as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual
program material the surround channel is usually much
lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the sur-
round level; program producers use surround mostly for
subtle atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for
special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention
to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.
Connecting for Power
Make sure you connect all your other
electronic components and the
speakers before plugging your
receiver into the outlet. Plug the
power cord in the wall outlet,
matching the wide blade of the plug
with the wide slot in the outlet. Be
sure to insert the plug completely.
Using Headphones
To listen privately through your audio
system, use the PHONES jack on the
receiver. However, make sure you turn
down the volume before you put on
the headphones. Increase the volume
to the desired level after headphones
are in place.
Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWNMIX
2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatical-
ly converts multi-channel outputs to 2 channel stereo for
your listening pleasure.
Hearing Comfort & Well-Being
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
