User manual SONY STR-DE675

[. . . ] This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. â· If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. [. . . ] * 2 The tape icon turns green during tape monitoring. The AUTO PLAY function is set at the factory to start playing the component immediately after it is selected. For example, if you use the on-screen controls to start playing one of two Sony laser disc players in the room, the other will also start playing at the same time. â· If a component does not respond, it may be because IR codes from the IR repeater are not fully reaching the selected component source. The icons in the cursor menu have the same function as those on the DBS receiver (except for SELECT, which substitutes for the enter button). Before you can control StarSight functions, the IR codes for the function representing the StarSight tuner must be set to "Sony VTR 3". The VIDEO 1 function comes factory set to "Sony VTR 3" (to set a different function to Sony VTR 3 see page 19). When you watch TV or video programs, we recommend you play audio portion through the receiver instead of your TV's speaker. This lets you take advantage of the receiver's surround sound effects, like Dolby Surround, and lets you use the receiver's remote to control the audio. Turn off the speakers on your TV before you start so you can enjoy the surround sound from your receiver. watching TV programs You can use the TV tuner built in to your video deck to watch TV programs using the receiver's on-screen operations. See the instruction manual of your recording component if you need help. Click the program source you want to record ("LD" for example). Click the component you want to record to ("VIDEO 1" for example). There is no sound output from the recording component even though all the buttons on the recording unit's control panel are operational. â· If you click RECORDER during recording, the source being recorded will be cut off. â· If you leave the REC EDIT menu by clicking FUNCTION, SOUND, or EXIT, recording continues, but control returns to the PLAYER side, even if you previously clicked RECORDER. â· If you open the FUNCTION SELECT menu and click another program source while recording, the newly selected program source will be recorded. â· Some cassette decks require that you press the r REC and ( buttons simultaneously to start recording. To perform one-button from the on-screen display, be sure to record the recording signal as shown in steps 1 to 7 of "Registering non-Sony audio/video equipment" (pages 19 to 21) for both Sony and non-Sony products. â· Sound input through the TAPE connectors on the rear panel cannot be recorded on a recording unit. â· When you record on a DAT or MD connected to the DAT/ MD REC OUT jacks, sound adjustments do not effect the recording. [. . . ] By adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers, you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make the delay time longer when you have placed the rear speakers in a small room or close to your listening position, and make it shorter when you have placed them in a large room or apart from your listening position. You can control not only Sony components but non-Sony components by programming the control signals of these components. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves sound image by using four separate channels: off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-to-right panning, and music.
