If you’ve connected a MiniDisc recorder to the TAPE 
inputs,
 you can set the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E so that 
“MD” appears on the display instead of “TAPE.” Simply 
press and hold the [TAPE] button until “MD” appears (about 
two seconds).
Notes:
• For AV components that are connected to only analog 
inputs, choose the “– – – –” setting.
• If you don’t press the [DIGITAL INPUT] button for three 
seconds, the previous display reappears.
• You can also specify a signal format for the DIGITAL 
With this function you can specify the number of speakers 
that you are using.
Notes:
• Since some listening modes require a minimum number of 
speakers, when you change the above setting, the listening 
mode may change as well (see page 34). 
• This setting cannot be set if a pair of headphones are con-
nected, speaker set B is on, or Multich is selected.
• The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E remembers this setting, so 
you only need to set it once.
With this function you can choose the surround channels 
from which the subwoofer’s output is derived.
Notes:
• If you use Mode 2 or Mode 3 with the Stereo listening 
mode, your subwoofer may produce no sound when you 
play material in certain surround formats, including 
2-channel Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.
• The subwoofer mode cannot be set if a pair of headphones 
are connected, speaker set B is on, or Multich is selected.
• The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E remembers the subwoofer 
mode setting, so you only need to set it once.
