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. 2 AV receiver SPEAKERS A B Remote controller 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 → Speaker Set A&B → Speaker Set B → Off. Note that while speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback. Indicators See page 19 for more information about speaker sets A and B. 3 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. 4 AV receiver MASTER VOLUME Remote controller 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. 5 Select a listening mode and enjoy! See "Using the Listening Modes" on page 59. 50
