Reducing the level of an analog signal
The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if
ANALOG
INPUT OVER is displayed on the LCD or if you can hear
distortion in the sound.

• Set the operation selector switch to AMP, then
press A.ATT to switch the input attenuator on or off.
Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the amplifier into standby after
a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without
worrying about the amplifier being left on all night. Use
the remote control to set the sleep timer.
• Set the operation selector switch to AMP, then
press SLEEP repeatedly to set the sleep time.
• You can check the remaining sleep time at any time
by pressing SLEEP once. Pressing repeatedly will
cycle through the sleep options again. 2
Switching the contents displayed on
the LCD
One of three patterns of information to be displayed on
the LCD can be selected. By default this is set to ‘OSD’.
• Press LCD VIEW on the front panel to change the
pattern of information.

This can be set separately for different inputs. Note,
however, that only inputs with a video terminal (DVD/LD,
BD, TV, SAT, DVR/VCR1, DVR/VCR2, VIDEO/GAME1 and
VIDEO/GAME2), inputs from an iPod on which video is
playing and inputs from MULTI CH IN for which VIDEO
INPUT is set to something other than
OFF can be set.
With HDMI inputs, it is not possible to display external
images on the LCD screen. To do so, connect to this
amplifier’s video input using an analog video cable.
Dimming the display
You can choose between four brightness levels for the
front LCD display. Note that when selecting sources, the
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
• Set the operation selector switch to AMP, then
press DIMMER repeatedly to change the brightness of
the front LCD display.
Switching the HDMI output
Set which terminal to use when outputting video and
audio signals from the HDMI output terminals (HDMI
OUT1 or HDMI OUT2).
The HDMI OUT1 terminal is compatible with the HDMI
control function.
• Set the operation selector switch to AMP, then
press HDMI OUT.
Please wait a while when
Please wait ... is displayed. No
operations other than switching the power between
standby or on can be performed at this time.
The output switches between HDMI OUT1 and HDMI
OUT2 each time the button is pressed. 4
Note
1 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct modes.
2 You can also switch off the sleep timer simply by switching off the amplifier.
3 Depending on the settings of the video adjustment function (page 101), the external image may not appear on the LCD.
