Adjusting Bass and Treble

You can adjust the low (bass) and high (treble) frequencies. The TONE button can also be used to bypass the tone
circuitry.

1 Press RECEIVER.

2 Press the TONE button on the remote

control or the front panel to put the
receiver in tone adjust mode.

Pressing the TONE button changes the mode to either on
or off. When the mode is set to on, TONE appears in the
display.

3 Press the BASS/TREBLE button

repeatedly to select BASS or TREBLE.

If TONE: BYPASS appears, press the TONE button to get
TONE.

4 Use the +/– buttons to adjust the low

or high frequency levels.

A few seconds after you finish adjusting the tone the
receiver will revert to the sound mode it was in at the
beginning of the process.

Memo:
• The tone control can be adjusted in a range of ±6 dB.
• The tone control cannot be set on in THX CINEMA,

MULTI CH IN modes.

• If you set TONE control on in DIRECT mode the receiver

will switch to STEREO mode.

Listening with Sound Delay

Some video displays have a slight delay in presentation of the video. Using sound delay you can slow the
presentation of the sound to match the presentation of the video.

1 Press RECEIVER.

2 Press the EFFECT/CH SEL button

repeatedly until you see DELAY in the
receiver’s display.

3 Use the +/– buttons to add or

subtract the amount of delay.

Memo:
• The amount of delay changes in 0.1 frame steps from

0.0 – 5.0 frame. (However, if the video system type is set
to NTSC as on page 8, the delay range is 0.0 – 6.0
frame.) The default setting value is 0.0 frame.

• When in DIRECT or MULTI CH IN modes, sound delay

cannot be used.
