Basic Operations

Basic adjustment auto memory

This receiver memorizes sound settings for each source ....
• when you turn on the power,
• when you change the source, and
• when you change the analog/digital input mode (see page 11).

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the
newly selected source are automatically recalled.
The following can be stored for each source:
• Analog/digital input mode (see page 11)
• Input attenuator mode (see page 17)
• Balance (see page 17)
• Bass boost (see page 18)
• Tone adjustment (see page 19)
• Subwoofer output level (see page 19)
• Surround mode settings (see pages 25, 29)

Theater Surround settings (see pages 27, 30)
DAP mode settings (see pages 28, 31)

Note:

If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for
each band.

For recording

You can record sounds of any source playing through the receiver
to the VCR connected to the VCR jacks.

While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at
whatever sound level you like without affecting the sound levels
of the recording.

Note:

Sound adjustments (see page 17) and DSP modes (see page 22)
cannot affect the recording.
