Adjusting The Main Room Volume; Activating The Main Room Front Speakers - JVC RX-9000VBK Instructions Manual

Selecting different sources for picture and
sound
You can watch picture from a video component while listening to
sound from another component.
On the front panel:
1. Press SOUND SELECT (INPUT
ATT.) briefly while viewing the
picture from a video component
such as the VCR or DVD player,
etc.
"SOUND SELECT" appears on the display.
2. Turn SOURCE SELECTOR to
select the sound (except the TV
sound), while the indication of the
above step is still on the display.
From the remote control:
Press one of the audio source selecting buttons (CD, TAPE/MD,
PHONO, FM/AM, TV/DBS*), while viewing the picture from a
video component such as the VCR or DVD player, etc.
Notes:
• Once you have selected a video source, pictures of the selected
source are sent to the TV until you select another video source.
* The TV/DBS button only works for selecting "DBS" as the source
but not for selecting "TV SOUND." When you use the DBS tuner,
change the source name correctly (see page 23).

Adjusting the Main Room Volume

On the front panel:
To increase the volume, turn MASTER
VOLUME clockwise.
To decrease the volume, turn it
counterclockwise.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME rapidly,
the volume level also changes rapidly.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME slowly,
the volume level also changes slowly.
From the remote control:
To increase the volume, press VOLUME +.
To decrease the volume, press VOLUME –.
CAUTIONS:
• Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If
the volume is set at its high level, the sudden blast of sound energy
can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.
• Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling the
receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when
adjusting the volume level in the sub-room from the main room.
Note:
The volume level can be adjusted within the range of "0" (minimum) to
"90" (maximum).

Activating the Main Room Front Speakers

When shipped from the factory, both pairs of the front speakers have
been set to be used in the main room.
• To use the front speakers connected to the FRONT 2/SUB ROOM
SPEAKERS terminals for the sub-room, see "Setting the Front
Speakers Either for the Main Room or Sub-room" on page 23, and
SOUND SELECT
"Activating the Sub-room Front Speakers" on page 22.
INPUT ATT.
On the front panel ONLY:
Press SPEAKERS 1 (MAIN ROOM) and/or
SPEAKERS 2 (SUB ROOM) to select the
speakers to use in the main room.
• Each time you press the button, the lamp on
SOURCE SELECTOR
the respective button turns on and off.
When the lamp on either button lights red, the respective speakers
are activated.
IMPORTANT:
You can activate two pairs of the front speakers in the main room at
the same time only when the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR on the
rear panel is set to "HIGH" and when no signals are sent to the center
and rear speakers. Otherwise, activating one pair of the speakers
deactivates the other.
Note:
If you use any of the DSP modes other than the 3D-PHONIC modes
with both front speakers activated in the main room, the speakers
connected to the FRONT 2/SUB ROOM SPEAKERS terminals are
deactivated.
Listening only with headphones
You can listen with the headphones without deactivating both pairs
of speakers for the main room; however, if you want to use the
HEADPHONE mode (see below), you must turn off both pairs of
speakers.
MASTER VOLUME
–
1. Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack on the front
+
panel.
2. Press SPEAKERS 1 (MAIN ROOM) and/or SPEAKERS 2
(SUB ROOM) so that no lamps on the buttons are lit red.
This cancels the surround mode or DSP mode currently selected,
and activates the HEADPHONE mode (see below).
• The HEAD PHONE indicator lights up on the display.
HEADPHONE mode:
With this mode selected, the bass sounds will not be lost
regardless of the speaker setting. So you will not miss them even
VOLUME
if you listen to a source using the headphones.
Notes:
• While in the HEADPHONE mode, you cannot use any other DSP
modes (see page 32.)
• Activating the speakers cancels the HEADPHONE mode and turns
on the DSP mode previously selected.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on
headphones, as high volume can damage both the headphones and
your hearing.
