controller
To select an input source with the remote controller, use its INPUT
SELECTOR buttons.
To listen to a DVD player connected to the multichannel DVD input (page 30), press
the AV receiver's [MULTI CH] button. The MULTI CH indicator will appear on the
display.
Note:
• While the multichannel DVD input is selected, the Speaker Configuration settings on
page 81 are ignored, and signals from the multichannel input are fed to the speakers
as they are.
To turn the speakers on or off, use the AV receiver's SPEAKERS [A] and
[B] buttons, or press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button on the
remote controller and use its [SP A/B] button.
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 19 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 HDMI OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, or MONITOR
OUT. On some DVD players, you may need to change the digital or HDMI audio out-
put settings.
To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control or the remote
controller's [VOL] button.
Since the AV receiver is designed for home theaters, it has a wide volume range for
precise adjustment. The volume can be set to –∞ dB, –81 dB, –80 dB through +18 dB.
Make sure the SKW-960 Subwoofer's output level control is set at the
"THX-POSITION."
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 listening mode and enjoy!
See "Using the Listening Modes" on page 59.
