OPERATION

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and configuration of the AVR580, it is sim- ple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize the enjoyment of your new receiver:

Turning the AVR580 On or Off

•When using the AVR580 for the first

time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby

mode, as indicated by the red color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening

session by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel, or the Power On Button d or AVR Selector f on the remote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn orange. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Input Selector Buttons eg ç∂ on the

remote or the Input Source Selector Button % on the front panel.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector Buttons eg to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector f to set the remote control to the AVR580 functions.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listen- ing session, simply press the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Power Off Button aå on the remote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn red.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the red color of the Power Indicator 3.

•To program the AVR580 for automatic turn-off, press the Sleep Button j on the remote. Each press of the button will decrease the time before shut-down

in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower Display Line B and it will count down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off. The front-panel display will dim to one-half brightness when the Sleep func- tion is programmed. To cancel the Sleep

function, press and hold the Sleep Buttonj until the information display returns to normal brightness; the Sleep indicator numbers will disappear and the words SLEEP OFF will appear in the Lower Display Line B.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the front-panel Main Power Switch 1.

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off by using the Main Power Switch 1 for more than two weeks.

Source Selection

•To select a source, press any of the

Input Selector Buttons egç

∂on the remote.

•The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panelInput Source Selector Button %. Each press of the button will move the input selection through the list of available inputs.

•As the input is changed, the AVR580 will automatically switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode, speaker configuration, output levels, crossover frequency and night mode status that were entered during the configuration process for that source.

•The front-panelVideo 4 Inputs (Ó, Optical 3 Digital Input & or the Coaxial 3 Digital Input * may be used to connect a device such as a video game or camcorder to your home enter- tainment system on a temporary basis.

•As the input source is changed, the new input name will appear momentar- ily as an on-screen display in the lower third of the video display. The input name will also appear in the Main Information Display ˜ and the selected input’s name will light in orange in the front-panelInput Indicators ˆ.

•When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1/Video 2 Outputs fi‡ and Video Monitor Outputs ¤. This permits simultaneous viewing and lis- tening to different sources.

•When a composite or S-Video source is selected, the video signal for that input

will be routed to the Video Monitor Output ¤ and may be viewed on a TV monitor connected to the AVR580.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

•There are two input choices available for use with sources such as a DVD- Audio or SACD player that are connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs 38 . Select the appropriate input according to the way your system and source equipment is configured:

■6 CH DIRECT should be used when the SBR and SBL inputs are NOT in use. It is assumed that the input source device has its own inter- nal bass management system. This input passes the input from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog to digital conversion and it mutes the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance.

■8 CH DIRECT should be used when an input is connected to all eight 8-Channel Direct Inputs 38 . It is assumed that the input source device has its own internal bass man- agement system. This input passes the input from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion and it mutes the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from inter- fering with system performance.

Volume Control

•Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the front-panelVolume Control ı or remote Volume

Up/Down Buttons 40 .

•To temporarily silence all speaker

outputs, press the Mute Button 43 K . This will interrupt the output to all speakers and the headphone jack, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress. When the sys- tem is muted, the word MUTE will flash in the Main Information Display ˜. Press the Mute Buttons

43 K again to return to normal operation.

•You may adjust the bass and treble tone controls at any point during a lis- tening session by simply turning the
