(12) SE-R1-SQT0461_EBEG_mst.book 12 ページ ２０１５年１月２３日　金曜日　午後４時４０分13 EnglishTo optimise the audio output, you can measure the amplifier characteristics and correct its output when it is connected to the speakers. ≥ Set the speaker selector knob to a position that corresponds to the connected speakers. (> right) 1 Press the unit on/off button to the [ ] position. ≥The power indicator lights up in blue. 2 Press and hold [LAPC] until the LAPC indicator on this unit starts to blink. ≥This unit will start measuring the characteristics of the amplifier. Check that a test tone is output from both the left and right speakers.– If you press [LAPC], turn the speaker selector knob or operate other controls while the measurement is in progress, it will be cancelled. The LAPC indicator on this unit will go off.≥When the measurement is complete, amplifier output correction will be automatically turned on. The LAPC indicator on this unit will light up. ∫ Turning on/off the output correction function Press [LAPC].Each time you press the button:

≥ When the SU-R1 is connected via the system control function, you can operate using the SU-R1’s remote control. ≥ The output correction setting is applied separately to each speaker terminal option (A/B/A+B). ≥ Depending on the type of the connected speakers, the effect of the output correction function may be minimal.≥ The corrected output remains in effect until you measure the characteristics again. When you use other speakers, redo the measurement. Operations 1 Press the unit on/off button to the [ ] position. ≥The power indicator lights up in blue. 2 Turn the input selector knob. Select a playback device and gain value. 3 Turn the speaker selector knob. Select the speaker terminals from which audio will be output. 4 Operate the device to be used for playback. Measuring the characteristics of the amplifier and correcting its output Test tone emitted during measurementTo ensure the measurement accuracy, the speakers output a test tone at regular intervals. (For approximately 4minutes)It is not possible to change the volume of the audio being output while the measurement is in progress.LAPC indicator lights up OnLAPC indicator goes off OffANALOG (dB) (s30/s20/s10/0) Select an optimal setting for the connected device. (> below)DIGITALSelect this setting when using the system control function.OFF Does not output audio. Outputs audio from the speakers connected to the A terminals. Outputs audio from the speakers connected to the B terminals. A+B Outputs audio from the speakers connected to the A and B terminals.Input selector knob setting during analogue input≥For normal operation, set the value to [0].≥For playback at low volume levels, lower the gain value of this unit by setting the input selector knob to [-30], [-20] or [-10] of [ANALOG (dB)]. This will minimise analogue/digital conversion errors that occur on this unit.

(> 13) 3 Press the unit on/off button on this unit and the SU-R1 to the [ ] position. 4 If “Digital Link” is set to “Off” on the SU-R1, change the setting to “On”. ∫ Switching this unit and the SU-R1 to on/standby simultaneously ≥If you point the SU-R1’s remote control at the SU-R1 and press [Í] when this unit and the SU-R1 are in standby mode, this unit and the SU-R1 will be turned on simultaneously. ≥If you point the SU-R1’s remote control at the SU-R1 and press [Í] when this unit and the SU-R1 are turned on, this unit and the SU-R1 will simultaneously enter standby mode. ∫ Measuring the characteristics of the amplifier and correcting its output You can operate using the SU-R1’s remote control. (> 13)

≥ For information on the operations of the SU-R1, please also refer to its operating instructions. Troubleshooting Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are uncertain about some of the check points, or if the solutions indicated in the following guide does not resolve the issue, then consult your dealer for instructions. Heat buildup of this unit. ≥This unit becomes warm when the volume is high. This is not a malfunction. A “humming” sound can be heard during playback.

An AC mains lead or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and cords away from the cables of this unit. ≥A strong magnetic field near a TV or other device may adversely affect the audio quality. Keep this unit away from such devices. ≥The speakers may output noise when a device nearby is emitting powerful radio waves, such as when a mobile phone is on a call. No sound. ≥Check connections to speakers and other equipment. After checking the connections, measure the characteristics of the amplifier. (> 13) ≥Check to see if the correct input source is selected.

Insert the plugs of the cables to be connected all the way in. ≥Set the speaker selector knob to other than [OFF]. (> 13) The peak power meter does not operate. ≥In the following cases, this meter does not operate: – When the peak power meter light is turned off by pressing [DIMMER].– When this unit is muted by pressing [MUTE] on the SU-R1’s remote control. (Only when the input selector knob is set to [DIGITAL].)– When the speaker selector knob is set to [OFF]. The system control function is not working. ≥Connect the cables to the matching LR terminals on this unit and the SU-R1. The unit turns off automatically. ≥Is the auto off function turned on? (> 7) ≥If the SU-R1 is connected to this unit via the system control function, this unit may automatically enter standby mode when the SU-R1 enters standby mode. (> 10, 14)

This unit incorporates a protection circuit to prevent damage caused by heat buildup. When you use this unit at a high volume level for a long period of time, it may turn off automatically. Wait for this unit to cool down before turning on this unit again. (For approximately 3 minutes) Using the system control function To return all settings to the factory defaults When the following situations occur, reset the memory: ≥ There is no response when buttons are pressed.≥ You want to clear and reset the memory contents. When the unit is off: 1 Press and hold [DIMMER]. 2 While continuing to hold [DIMMER], press the unit on/off button. ≥ Keep holding [DIMMER] until the power indicator and the LAPC indicator blink twice.
