When the digital signal is fixed at DTS or PCM, the digital signal is reproduced only when the selected type of signal is input. In this case, only the indicator of the non-reproduced source (PCM or DTS) will blink. Note Changing the digital input setting (see page 21) will cancel the selected input signal format. If you had set the DVD input to "Multi", it will not change. Note · Any speaker that is not included in the speaker configuration on page 18 is not selected even if it is actually connected. · The subwoofer will not output the test tone if it's off. Press CH SEL repeatedly to select the speaker, then press LEVEL 5/ to adjust the volume level. The volume level can be adjusted between ­12dB and +12dB in 1 dB steps. When TEST is pressed after the above adjustment, the set levels will become the levels adjusted using the test tone by overwriting the existing ones. 26 Enjoying multi channel sources SURROUND DIRECT DIRECT Before operating the DIRECT or SURROUND Press RCVR/TAPE. This button may be in a slightly different position on your remote controller. LEVEL 5/ SURROUND CH SEL AUIO SEL DVD AUDIO SELECTOR DVD TAPE Using analog multi channel input The multi channel input refers to a system, which is compatible with a source component equipped with analog 5. 1-channel outputs (DVD player, MPEG decoder, etc. ), reproducing the left/right front, center and left/right surround channels from five respective speakers and outputting the subwoofer channel from SUB WOOFER (refer to page 13). 1. Press AUDIO SELECTOR on the unit or AUDIO SEL on the remote controller repeatedly to select "Multich". Turn on the component connected to the DVD (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER) port and start playing the desired media. Check that the DVD player is set for multi channel output. See instruction manual supplied with your DVD player for details. Notes · "Multich" can be selected only when DVD is selected as the input source. · The surround mode cannot be selected when "Multich" is selected. Also, if "Multich" is selected during use of a surround mode, it is canceled automatically. · Regardless of the speaker configuration, the input signal will be output to each corresponding speaker. For example, even if the speaker configuration is set to 2 ch, sound comes from all speakers. 4. If necessary, press CH SEL on the remote controller to select an individual speaker. Then press LEVEL 5/ to adjust the output level as desired. Adjust the speaker output level 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 and surround left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between ­12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps. The volume levels from the speakers reproducing multi channel input source are independent from the speaker levels set using the test tone (page 20). These settings are not applied to speakers reproducing multi channel input source. [. . . ] Microphone feedback. Using Close to a TV or Computer TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the HTP-420 speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. [. . . ]
