Example: CD FUNCTION INPUT MODE SURROUND MODE VOLUME MUTING EXT. IN ANALOG ENGLISH Basic Operation Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) terminals The signals being input to the external decoder input terminals are played without passing through the surround circuitry. Press the EXT. IN button to select the external input. • Canceling the external input mode: Press the INPUT MODE or ANALOG button to switch to the desired input mode ( page 19, 20). • The external input mode can be set for any input source. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode. • If the subwoofer output level is too high, set the "SW ATT." surround parameter to "ON". NOTE: • When the input mode is set to the external input (EXT. IN), the play mode (DIRECT, VIRTUAL SURROUND, STEREO, STANDARD (DOLBY/DTS SURROUND), 5CH/7CH STEREO or DSP SIMULATION) cannot be selected. • In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to the EXT. IN terminals cannot be reproduced. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input terminals. (Main unit) (Remote control unit) To select the input source when ZONE2/REC OUT is selected, press the MAIN button, then operate the input function selector. 2 Select the play (surround) mode. Example: STEREO SELECT (Main unit) (Remote control unit) To select the surround mode while adjusting the surround parameters, tone defeat or tone control, press the SURROUND MODE button and then operate the selector. 3 Start playback on the selected component. For operating instructions, refer to the component's manual. 4 Adjust the volume. (Main unit) (Remote control unit) The volume level is displayed on the master volume level display. The volume can be adjusted within the range of -70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described ( page 28), if the volume for any channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume is adjusted to "18 dB - (Maximum value of channel level)".) Turning the sound off temporarily (MUTING) Use this to turn off the audio output temporarily. Press the MUTING button. • You can adjust the muting level ( page 44). • Canceling the MUTING mode: q Press the MUTING button again. w Press the VOLUME button on the remote control unit, or adjust the volume up or down via the front panel MASTER VOLUME knob. 18 ENGLISH
