1 Use the AV receiver’s input selector buttons to select an input source.
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 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.
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 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!
