IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR580’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR580. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector Button e that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR580’s remote is shipped from the fac- tory to operate the AVR580 and JBL DVD players. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 40–41 to program the proper codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR580. (See page 42 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
aPower Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR580 or a selected device in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will con- tinue to function.
bIR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR580 when press- ing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared commands are properly received.
cProgram/SPL Indicator: This three- color indicator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote or learning commands from a remote into the AVR580’s remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet capabilities. (See page 27 for more infor- mation on setting output levels, and see page 41 for information on programming the remote.)
dPower On Button: Press this to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors e.
eInput Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR580 is not turned on, this will power up the unit. Next, it will select the source shown on the button as the input to the AVR580. Finally, it will change the remote control
so that it controls the device selected. After pressing one of these buttons, you must press the AVR Selector Button
fagain to operate the AVR580’s func- tions with the remote.
fAVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will oper- ate the AVR580’s functions. If the AVR580 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR580 on.
gAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR580’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will select between the AM and FM bands.
h6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input: Press this button to select the device con- nected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs
38 . (See page 30 for more information.)
iTest Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR580’s output levels. (See page 27 for more information on calibrating the AVR580.)
jSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR580 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:
| | | 90 | | 80 | | | 70 | | | 60 | | | 50 | |
| | | min | | min | | min | | min | | | | min | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 40 | | 30 | | | 20 | | | 10 | | | | OFF |
| | | min | | min | | min | | min | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
This button is also used to change chan- nels on your TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR580 remote is being pro- grammed with the codes to operate another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 41 for more information on programming the remote.)
kSurround Mode Selector: Press this button to cycle through the DSP, VMAx and Stereo surround modes such as Hall, Theater, VMAx Near and Far, and Surround Off. This button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector e. When the AVR580 remote is being pro- grammed with the codes of another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 41 for more information on programming the remote.)
lNight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available in specially encoded digital sources, and it preserves dialogue (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
mChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR580’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button p, followed by the ⁄/¤ Buttons n again, to change the level setting. (See page 36 for more information.)
n ⁄/¤ Buttons: These multipurpose buttons are used to change or scroll through items in the on-screen menus, make configuration settings such as digi- tal inputs or delay timing, or to select sur- round modes. When changing a setting, first press the button for the function or setting to be changed (e.g., press the Surround Mode Selector k to select a sound field mode or the Digital Select Button q to change a digital input) and then press one of these buttons to scroll through the list of options or to increase or decrease a setting. The sections in this manual describing the individual features and functions contain specific information on using these buttons for each application.
o ‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR580.
pSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR580’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.
qDigital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs 31 34 &* to a source. (See page 31 for more information on using digital inputs.)
rNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a 10-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, Cable or SAT has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.
sTuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning.
