Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from
channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each
channel plays at the same loudness level.

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 surround level; program producers use
surround mostly for subtle atmospheric 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.

Getting Started

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 DOWN
MIX 2 CHANNEL" will scroll on display. This feature
automatically converts multi-channel speaker 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.
