Basic operations
Listening to your favorite source
1 Select the source you wish to listen to using the input
selector (e.g., PHONO).
Confirm that the indicator is not lit when a
source other than Tape 2 Monitor is selected. Also check that
the AUDIO MUTE indicator is not lit.
2 Select the speakers.
Press the button for the speakers to which you wish to listen
(Speakers A and/or B). For the remote controller, press the
RCVR/Tape mode button before pressing the SP A or SP B but-
ton.
The corresponding A and/or B indicator lights up on the display
panel. You will hear from the speakers any sounds passing
through the unit. If both Speakers (A and B) are set to OFF, the
speakers will emit no sound.
3 Start playing the selected input source.
Follow the operating instructions for the selected unit.
If you select FM or AM, refer to “Receiving stations” on
page 20.
4 Adjust the level.
Turn the Master Volume knob clockwise or press the button on
the remote controller to increase the volume level. Turn the knob
counterclockwise or press the button on the remote controller to
decrease the volume level.
5 Adjust to your desired tone.
Bass: Turn clockwise to boost or counterclockwise to attenuate
the bass.
Treble: Turn clockwise to boost or counterclockwise to attenu-
ate the treble.
6 The Balance knob controls the relative volume level of
the left and right speakers or headphones.
Notes:
• The power does not shut off completely when you turn off the
power. The power cord should be removed from the AC wall
outlet when not in use for a prolonged period of time.
• You cannot adjust the bass and treble when the Direct button is
turned on.
Direct change function
When a compact disc player and tape deck that feature jacks
are connected together, you can use the direct change function.
When you operate the compact disc player or tape deck, the input
selector on the DTM-5.3 switches automatically to the desired
component.
It is not necessary to switch the DTM-5.3’s input selector when
you change listening sources.
Note:
This direct change function does not work when Zone 2 is being
controlled.
