Enjoying music or videos with the TX-DS787
Using the many features of the TX-DS787
Outputting from different input source: You can have the TX-DS787 output the audio of one input source through the speakers while the video of another input source is output to the monitor (see page 36). Assigning names to input sources: You can enter a name for each input source so that when the source is selected the name of that source is displayed in the front display of the TX-DS787 (see page 57). Temporarily changing the speaker output levels: To change the individual speaker volumes temporarily, use the remote controller and follow the procedure given below. Note that the calibration settings will return to the original settings when the TX-DS787 is put in standby. 1. Press the CH SEL button and select the desired speaker. 2. Press the LEVEL + or � button to adjust the volume level. Using the sleep time: To set the sleep timer, press the SLEEP button on the remote controller and then set the time that you want the TX-DS787 to enter the standby state (see page 59). Temporarily turning off the sound: To turn off the sound momentarily, such as when interrupted by a phone call, press the MUTING button on the remote controller (see page 59). Adjusting the bass and treble: You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Tone Control sub-menu of the OSD menu: Input Setup � Tone Control (see page 40). You can also press the BASS/TREBLE button on the front to display either �BASS� or �TREBLE� in the front display (the display will change each time the button is pressed) and turn the SSC dial to adjust the volume. This function only affects the front left and right speakers, the center speaker, and the subwoofer. Adjusting the brightness of the front display: You can adjust the brightness of the front display of the TXDS787 with DIMMER button on the remote controller or on the TX-DS787 front panel with other than European models (see page 9).

If one of the messages shown below appears
If you try to perform an operation that is not possible, �Not available� appears followed by one of the messages shown below to explain the reason.

The operation is not allowed because headphones are plugged into the TX-DS787.

The operation is not allowed because the selected input source is set for multichannel input.

The operation is not allowed by the current speaker configuration.

The operation is not allowed because the Zone 2 mode is turned on.

No setting other than Dolby Digital can be set.

Enjoying the multichannel output
Before you can use a component with multichannel output, you must first select �Yes� for the Multichannel setting in the OSD menu for that input source: Input Setup � Audio Setup (see page 34). Also, select �Multichannel� using the Audio Selector button on the front panel.

1. Press the input source button for the component with multichannel output connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT on the rear of the TX-DS787. 2. Turn on the connected component and start playing the desired media. 3. If necessary, press the CH SEL button on the remote controller to select an individual speaker. Then press the LEVEL + or � button to adjust the output level as desired.
Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front right, front left, center, surround right, surround left, surround back right and surround back left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between �12 to +12 decibels. The subwoofer can be adjusted between �15 and +12 decibels.

4. Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME dial or the VOL buttons on the remote controller.
