Because the disc in the play position is unaffected, you can use this button to change discs even during playback. The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions.

Using Surround Sound 6 Adjusting the bass and treble Using sound modes The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the amount of bass and treble. The sound modes allow you to add various surround and room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and other sources. These effects process the sound in various ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or concert hall.
6 Using Surround Sound • Surround Off (SUR.OFF) – All sources are played through only the front left and right speakers, and the subwoofer. No effects are added. • The surround modes cannot be used in combination with DSP effects or with 96kHz digital sources. • You cannot change the surround mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on the following page). 1 Press SURROUND MODE.
Using Surround Sound Listening at low volume When the volume is low, surround effects tend to become less than satisfactory. Turn the Midnight listening mode on to enjoy quality surround sound even at low volumes. 1 Press SOUND. 2 Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select M.NIGHT. 3 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to turn ON or OFF. 4 Press ENTER. 6 Direct recording This feature let’s you record directly to an external recorder, without worrying about the various sound settings.
7 Playing Discs Introduction • • Most of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs and CDs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. or icon • When playing DVD discs, if the appears on-screen when you try and use a particular function, either the player or the disc doesn’t allow the use of that function. • When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available in PBC mode.
Playing Discs 7 Making a program list Making a program list means telling the player which tracks, and in what order, you want played. You can program a sequence of up to 24 tracks/chapters to play from any of the discs loaded in the disc changer. The discs can be any combination of DVD, Video CD and audio CD. Chapters/tracks can appear more than once in the playlist, or can be left out entirely. 1 Press PROGRAM (SHIFT & 7).
7 Playing Discs • The playlist remains active even if you open the disc tray and change discs. If a step in the program list cannot be played (because the track number is too high, for example), that step is automatically skipped. • To delete the playlist, stop playback, then press CLEAR. • You may see an asterisk (*) appear on-screen when program play of some DVD discs starts.
Playing Discs • • • • Track Repeat 1 Disc Repeat All Discs Repeat Repeat off 7 2 Press 6. The player automatically starts playing the first CD loaded. Once all the CDs loaded have played, the player automatically stops. • The Repeat All function repeats all tracks on all audio and Video CDs loaded. If, during repeat play, the unit encounters a DVD disc, it will start playing, but the repeat mode will be canceled.
7 Playing Discs Memorizing disc settings If you have a particular set of preferences for a disc, you can memorize them using the Condition Memory function. Once memorized, your settings will be recalled automatically whenever you load that disc. The player can store settings for 15 discs; after this, memorizing another replaces the oldest one stored. • When a disc is stopped, all title/chapter, or track information for the disc loaded appears on-screen.
Using the Timer Using the wake up timer You can use the timer as an alarm clock to wake up to the sound of a disc loaded or the radio. If you have an external component operated by a separate timer, you can also set it as the source function. Once the timer is active, it will switch the system on everyday at the set time. Unlike an ordinary alarm clock, you need to set a system switch off time, as well as a switch on time. 1 Select the source that you’d like to wake up to.
8 Using the Timer Checking the timer settings Using the sleep timer If you’ve set the wake-up timer, you can check the settings anytime. The sleep timer switches the system into standby after a specified amount of time so that you can fall asleep without worrying about the stereo being left on all night. If you've also set the wake up timer this is important since the wake up timer will only work if the system is in standby. 1 Press SYSTEM SETUP. 2 Press 2 or 3 until you see TIMER in the display.
Advanced Sound Setup 9 Advanced sound settings Dynamic Range Control This chapter covers advanced settings to further optimize the sound of your system. The dynamic range of a source is the difference between the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This makes them exciting, but it also means that when you turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog. Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the soundtrack volume.
9 Advanced Sound Setup Dual-mono setting Adjusting channel volume levels The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital discs that feature dual-mono material—see the disc box for details. Depending on your room and where you’re sitting, you may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in any mode, including the surround, DSP, and stereo modes.

Additional Information 11 Switching the AM frequency interval Taking care of your system As its default setting, the tuner jumps in steps of 10kHz when tuning in AM stations. If you find that this is unsuitable in your area (if you can’t tune into stations successfully), you can change the tuning interval to 9kHz for AM. Here’s how to switch the setting. To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
11 Additional Information Storing discs Although CDs and DVDs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you’re not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). Don’t glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on them using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharptipped writing instrument.
