Basic Operation
Using Headphones To listen with headphones (not supplied), insert the headphones’ 1 / 4 -
inch plug into the receiver’s front panel PHONES jack. To silence the
speakers and listen with headphones without disturbing others, press
SPEAKER so only SP appears on the display.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, note the following when using headphones.
• Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Muting the Receiver To temporarily mute the sound, press MUTING . --MUTING -- appears.
Press MUTING again to restore the audio level.
Loudness Control To increase the high and low ranges of sounds for improved audio at a
low listening level, press
LOUDNESS so LOUDNESS appears. Press LOUD-
NESS again to turn off this feature.
Bypassing the Sound
Controls To bypass your receiver’s sound controls ( BASS , TREBLE , BALANCE , or any
special sound options) so you can hear the audio at its original tonal
quality, press
DIRECT so DIRECT appears. Press DIRECT again to turn off
this feature.
Note: When you turn off the bypass feature, you will have to reselect
any desired special sound options (see “Using Advanced Sound
Options” on Page 22).
