DISPLAY
e Audio Return Channel (ARC) 
from a compliant display. Use this 
with a compliant television using 
internal TV tuners.
Most audio inputs have both analogue and digital 
connections. You must specify the type of connection 
used for each input using the ‘Audio Source’ option in 
the ‘Input Cong.’ menu, see page E-29. Note that an 
incorrect setting will result in no sound — the default is 
HDMI audio. If you are not using HDMI audio then this 
setting must be changed.
e processing mode and Stereo Direct functions are 
remembered and recalled for each individual input.
Stereo Direct
To listen to a pure analogue stereo input, press the 
DIRECT button. e Stereo Direct mode automatically 
bypasses all processing and any surround functions. In 
direct mode, digital processing is shut down to improve 
the sound quality and reduces digital noise with the 
Receiver to an absolute minimum.
Note: when Stereo Direct mode is selected, no 
digital output is available and no bass management 
is performed, meaning that bass signals will not be 
redirected to a subwoofer.
Volume control
It is important to realise that the level of the volume 
indicator is not an accurate indication of the power 
delivered to your loudspeakers. e Receiver oen 
delivers its full output power long before the volume 
control reaches its maximum position, particularly when 
listening to heavily recorded music. In comparison, 
some movie sound tracks can appear very quiet, as 
many directors like to keep maximum levels in reserve 
for special eects sequences.
Headphones
To use headphones with the Receiver, plug the 
headphones into the PHONES socket in the centre of the 
front panel.
When headphones are plugged into the front panel 
PHONES socket, the outputs for Zone1 are muted and 
the audio will be down-mixed to two channels (2.0). e 
two-channel down-mix is required so that the centre 
channel and surround information can be heard via the 
headphones.
