Settings Menu 3

V Settings Menu 3 includes setting items related to
amplification. These settings could result in damage
to speakers if set incorrectly.
In Settings Menu 3, you can make the following settings.
Through output
Operation mode
Through output
THRU>***
Set whether to use the input connectors as signal through connectors.
By default, the setting is OFF.
OFF
No through inputs are set.
XLR1
XLR2
RCA1
RCA2
RCA3
RCA4
Only the signals from the selected input connectors bypass the
preamp and are input directly to the power amplifier.
V
If you select inputs connected to an ordinary line-level
device, signals that are too strong could be output to the
speakers, resulting in damage to them.
"THRU" appears on the display instead of the volume level set by
using the VOLUME knob.
For example, if you connect the pre-out connectors (for example,
FRONT L/R) of an AV amplifier to this unit's RCA 2 connectors, and
set RCA2 to THRU, you can use the speakers connected to this unit
as the front speakers of the AV amplifier. (The AV amplifier controls
volume adjustment when the input source is set to "RCA2".)
o The VOLUME knob will not affect the volume of the input con-
nectors set to THRU.
V
Always connect a device that has a volume control to the
input connectors set to THRU. Use that device to mini-
mize the volume before switching the input source, and
then gradually raise the volume level.
