[B] buttons, or use the remote controller's [SP A/B] button.
Remote
Pressing the remote controller's [SP A/B] button cycles through the following settings:
Speaker Set A
Note that while speaker set B is on,
speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel
playback.
See page 5 for more information about speaker sets A and B.
Start playback on the source component.
To watch a DVD or other video source, on your TV, select the video input that's con-
nected to the AV receiver's MONITOR OUT jack.
If your TV is connected to the HDMI OUT, see the tip on page 29.
To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control, or the remote
controller's [VOL] button.
The volume can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX. Since the AV receiver is
designed for home theater enjoyment, it has a wide volume range for precise adjust-
VOL
ment.
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.
Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there's a temptation to set
the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what
you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.
Select a suitable listening mode and enjoy!
See "Using the Listening Modes" on page 48.
