Operation
Now that you have completed the initial setup and configuration of the Model
950, it is simple to operate and enjoy. Reading the following section will help
you get the maximum pleasure from your new equipment. Make sure the unit
is plugged in and the Main Power switch on the rear panel of the 950 is in the
On position, as outlined in the “System Setup” section.
Direct Operation
In addition to entering settings into the Model 950 using the Menu System,
as described in the System Setup section of this manual, many of the controls
may be changed directly at any time using the remote control or front panel
buttons. To change one of these settings (for example, Channel Trim), simply
press the appropriate button on the remote or front panel and use the naviga-
tion buttons as required to change the settings.
Power
To turn the Model 950 on and off:
1. Press the front panel Standby Power button to turn on the Model
950, or press the AUD button on the remote control.
The FRONT PANEL DISPLAY will light up and the Standby indicator
will turn off.
Alternatively, pressing any of the source selection buttons (DVD,
CD, VCR, etc.) on the remote control will turn on the Model 950.
Powering the unit on this way sets the Model 950 to the selected source
and sets control of the remote control to that source device. To control
the Model 950, press the AUD button on the remote.
2. Press the Standby Power button on the front panel again or press
the POWER button on the remote control to return the Model 950
to Standby mode.
The FRONT PANEL DISPLAY will go out and the Standby Indicator
will light up.
Note that remote needs to be set to control the 950 (by pressing the AUD
button) before the POWER button will turn off the unit.
Selecting a Source
Before you can listen to any input, you must first select that input as the source. This
tells the Model 950 which input source to send out to the speakers and monitor.
To select an input source:
1. Press one of the Source buttons (DVD, CD, VCR, etc.) on the remote
control or press the or SOURCE buttons on the front panel of
the Model 950 to cycle through the input sources.
The Front Panel Display and the OSD will show the source you have
selected. The settings displayed will be those that you set in the Input
Configuration menu during initial setup. An example is shown below:
DVD DOLBY EX
OPTICAL1 -10dB
2. Press AUX 1 or AUX 2 on the remote to select one of the auxiliary
audio input sources
NOTE: When a video input has been selected as the current source, its
video signal will appear on the connected television or monitor. Changing
the selected input to an audio-only source (CD, AUX 1, AUX 2, etc.) will
switch the audio output to the new source, while leaving the previously
selected video input active.
Selecting a Source Input
When you select a source from the 950’s remote or front panel, the input selected
during Input Configuration is automatically used as the source input. You can
select another input by following the procedure below.
To select a source input:
1. Press the DIGITAL button on the remote control or the DIGITAL
