Adjusting The Tonal Quality; Hi-Fi Stereo Sound - Yamaha HTR-6040 Owner's Manual

Playback
■ Enjoying pure hi-fi stereo sound
The DIRECT STEREO mode allows sources to bypass the
decoders and DSP processors of this unit so that you can
enjoy pure hi-fi sound from 2-channel PCM and analog
sources.
Press C DIRECT STEREO (or set the operation
mode selector (K) to AMP and then press
T DIRECT ST.) to select "DIRECT STEREO".
Notes
• To avoid unexpected noise, do not play CDs encoded in DTS
when the DIRECT STEREO mode is selected.
• When multi-channel signals (Dolby Digital and DTS) are input,
this unit automatically switches to the corresponding analog
input.
• No sound will be output from the subwoofer.
• "TONE CONTROL" (see page 30) and "SOUND MENU" (see
page 51) settings (except for speaker level settings) are not
effective.
• The front panel display automatically dims.

■ Adjusting the tonal quality

Press 0 TONE CONTROL repeatedly to select
"BASS" or "TREBLE" and then press
A PROGRAM l / h to adjust the corresponding
frequency response level.
• Select "BASS" to adjust the low-frequency response.
• Select "TREBLE" to adjust the high-frequency
response.
Notes
• Speaker and headphone adjustments are stored independently.
• If you increase or decrease the high-frequency or low-frequency
sound to an extreme level, the tonal quality of the surround
speakers may not match that of the front left and right speakers.
