User manual ONKYO TX-84

[. . . ] REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, 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. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Important Safeguards 1. Read Instructions--All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. Retain Instructions--The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. [. . . ] The current format appears on the display for about three seconds. Playing Your AV Components--Continued 3 AUDIO SELECTOR While the format is being displayed, use the [AUDIO SELECTOR] button to select: Auto, Analog, or Multich (DVD input source only). Using the Multi-Channel Inputs The multi-channel inputs are for connecting an AV component with individual 5. 1-surround analog outputs, such as a DVD player or MPEG decoder. See "Connecting Your AV Components" on page 13 for connection information. While "Auto" is displayed, the name of the digital input currently assigned to the input source (page 24) is displayed in parenthesis. For example, "Auto (COAX). " The possible inputs are OPT1, OPT2, and COAX. Auto: The assigned digital input will have priority over the analog inputs. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs will be used. Analog: The analog inputs will be used even if the input source (i. e. , AV component) is connected digitally. Multich: The multi-channel inputs will be used even if the input source is connected digitally. Notes: · When you assign an input source to COAX, OPT1, or OPT2 on page 24, if the signal format for that input source was previously set to Analog, it's automatically set to Auto. · When you assign an input source to "­ ­ ­ ­" on page 24, if the signal format for that input source was previously set to Auto, it's automatically set to Analog. Fixing the signal format at DTS or PCM If you experience either of the following issues when playing DTS or PCM source material with the Auto setting, you can fix the signal format at PCM or DTS, as explained below. · If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off in Auto mode, try fixing the format at PCM. The volume can typically be set to MIN, 1 though 79, or MAX. 3 PRESET CABLE/SAT CD/DVD / TUNING Press and hold the TUNING [ ] or [ ] button for more than half a second and then release it. CH + TUNER If you selected the FM band: The AUTO indicator appears on the display and the TX-84/TX-84E searches for the next station automatically. Searching stops when a station is found, and the TUNED and FM STEREO indicators appear, as shown. TUNED AUTO FM STEREO Setting the AM Tuning Interval (Worldwide model only) If you're using the Worldwide model (i. e. , your TX-84/ TX-84E has a VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel), you need to set the AM tuning interval for compatibility with AM broadcasts in your particular country. North America: 10 kHz Other countries: 9 kHz TUNER To set the AM tuning interval, while holding down the [TUNER] button, press the [MEMORY] button. FM MODE The North American model searches the FM band in 0. 1 MHz intervals. If you selected the AM band: The frequency stops changing when you release the TUNING button. The TX-84/TX-84E doesn't automatically search for AM stations. You must use the TUNING [ ] [ ] buttons. Press repeatedly to change the frequency one interval at a time, or press and hold to quickly change the frequency. When you're tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator appears. The North American model steps through the AM band in 10 kHz intervals. For other models it's 9 kHz. 4 TUNING MEMORY CLEAR Note: All presets are deleted when you change this setting. To fine-tune the frequency, use the TUNING [ ] [ ] buttons. If you've selected the FM band, be careful that you don't press either button for more than half a second, otherwise the TX-84/TX-84E will start searching for the next station. 30 Using the Tuner--Continued Tuning into weak FM stations If the signal strength of the station you are trying to tune into is poor, you may not be able to tune into that station, or reception may be noisy. [. . . ] Interference caused by electrical equipment, including fluorescent lights. Install an outdoor AM antenna (page 23). Move the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your TV. Move the TX-84/TX-84E as far away as possible from your TV. Tuner Interference caused by your TV. Tall buildings, mountains, or hills are causing wave reflections that interfere with the main signal.
