Enjoying the multichannel output
Before you can use a component with multichannel output, you
must first select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting in the OSD
menu for that input source: Input Setup
→ Audio Setup (see page
34). Also, select “Multichannel” using the Audio Selector button
on the front panel.
1. Press the input source button for the
component with multichannel output
connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT on
the rear of the TX-DS787.
2. Turn on the connected component and start
playing the desired media.
3. If necessary, press the CH SEL button on the
remote controller to select an individual
speaker. Then press the LEVEL + or – button
to adjust the output level as desired.
Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same
sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the
front right, front left, center, surround right, surround left,
surround back right and surround back left speakers, the
output levels can be adjusted between –12 to +12 decibels. The
subwoofer can be adjusted between –15 and +12 decibels.
4. Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME
dial or the VOL buttons on the remote
controller.
Using the many features of the TX-DS787
Outputting from different input source:
You can have the TX-DS787 output the audio of one input
source through the speakers while the video of another input
source is output to the monitor (see page 36).
Assigning names to input sources:
You can enter a name for each input source so that when the
source is selected the name of that source is displayed in the
front display of the TX-DS787 (see page 57).
Temporarily changing the speaker output levels:
To change the individual speaker volumes temporarily, use the
remote controller and follow the procedure given below. Note
that the calibration settings will return to the original settings
when the TX-DS787 is put in standby.
