[. . . ] When the digital signal format is fixed at DTS or PCM, only signals in the corresponding format will be output. Digital signals in other formats will be ignored, and the DTS or PCM indicator, depending on which format you have set, will flash. 1 Remote controller Press the remote controller's [DVD] input selector button, then [AUDIO SEL] button to select "Multich. " Start playback on the AV component. 2 To adjust the volume of an individual speaker, use the remote controller's [CH SEL] button to select it, and then use the LEVEL [ ] [ ] buttons. You can adjust the volume level of each individual speaker as you like. For the front-left, front-right, center, surround-left, and surround-right speakers, you can adjust the volume from ­12 dB to +12 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted from ­30 dB to +12 dB. Note that these settings work independently of the individual speaker volume settings on page 27. Enabling the Tone Controls To use the Bass and Treble functions with the multi-channel inputs, first you need to enable them. To do this, press the [SURROUND] button. "Tone On" appears on the display. You can now use the [AUDIO ADJUST] button to select the Bass and Treble functions and adjust as explained on page 37. To switch off the Bass and Treble functions, press the [DIRECT] button. "Tone Off" appears on the display. Notes: · To use the multi-channel inputs, you must connect an AV component with individual 5. 1-surround analog outputs to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E's multi-channel inputs. · You can select Multich only when the DVD input source is selected. · While Multich is selected, you can't select a listening mode. If you select Multich while using a listening mode, the listening mode will be cancelled. · While Multich is selected, the speaker configuration setting (page 25) is ignored, so even if you have specified two speakers, the multi-channel input signals will be fed to the front-left, front-right, center, surround-left, and surroundright speakers regardless. · While Multich is selected, the subwoofer mode (page page 25) is ignored, so even if you have specified "Subwoofer Off, " the signal connected to the SUBWOOFER DVD IN will be fed to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT regardless. 29 Using the Tuner This chapter explains how to use the built-in tuner. You can store your favorite radio stations as presets for convenient selection.

You cannot record from an AV component that is connected digitally. Try an FM antenna with better directionality. Preset your favorite radio stations again (page 31). The power cord must be plugged into a wall outlet a few times each month in order to preserve the presets. Connect the AV component using analog connections (pages 10­19). [. . . ]
