Remote control sensor [7]
DISPLAY button [55]
The DISPLAY button is used to display information about the
current input source signal. Each time you press the DISPLAY
button, the screen changes to show you different information
concerning the input signal.
MASTER VOLUME dial [53]
The MASTER VOLUME dial is used to control the volume for the
main zone. The volume for the remote zone (Zone 2) is independent.
UPSAMPLING indicator [43]
Lights during upsampling. This function is available when the input
source is Analog/PCM and the listening mode is set to the stereo or
surround mode.
PURE AUDIO indicator [54]
Lights during pure audio playback.
DIRECT/PURE AUDIO button [54]
Press to switch between the direct and pure audio modes.
DIRECT: The direct mode outputs the sound without sound
adjustment or filtration. In the direct mode, even if the Subwoofer
setting of the Speaker Config sub-menu is set to "Yes," no sound is
output from the subwoofer and the left and right channels are output,
as is, to the left and right speakers. Even for multichannel input
signals, the sounds are not passed through the sound adjustment
circuits.
PURE AUDIO: Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio
mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply
to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result
is high-fidelity music playback true to the original source.
PHONES jack [53]
This is a standard stereo jack for connecting stereo headphones.
ZONE 2 LEVEL /
Press to enter the mode for adjusting the volume in the remote zone
(Zone 2).
REC OUT/ZONE 2/OFF buttons [58-60]
These buttons allow you to use the TX-DS898 to output to a remote
zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording purposes (Rec
Out). Press the REC OUT button to output the audio and video
signals to a recording component for recording purposes. Press the
ZONE 2 button to enjoy the output from the TX-DS898 in a different
room, which is referred to as a remote zone (Zone 2).
When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for
recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front
panel display. If "SOURCE" is displayed, then the same input
source as that selected for the main zone will be output.
To select an input source, press the desired button (REC OUT or
ZONE 2) and then press one of the input source button within 5
seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the
remote zone.
To set the REC OUT or ZONE 2 output to the source channel, press
that button twice in succession. To turn off the REC OUT or ZONE
2 output, press that button and then press the OFF button within 5
seconds.
Note:
The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore
cannot be used at the same time. When Rec Out is selected, nothing
is output to Zone 2, and vice versa. When ZONE 2 is selected, REC
OUT is automatically fixed to SOURCE.
LISTENING MODE buttons [54]
Press these buttons to select a listening mode for the current input
source.
STEREO: Selects for normal stereo output.
SURROUND: Selects for the Dolby Pro Logic, Neo:6, Dolby

(program type) to TP (traffic program) and then back to RT again.
