Front panel controls

POWER

Press the POWER button to turn the AVR100 on. The status LED changes to green on powering up and the display shows the active input. Pressing the POWER button again turns the unit and the status LED off.

A red status LED indicates that the AVR100 is in stand by and can be switched on by the remote handset.

Input selection

The input selection buttons are labelled to correspond with the audio and video inputs on the rear panel of the AVR100. To select an input, press the appropriate button on the front panel. The audio signal for that source will then be routed to the speakers. Any picture signal associated with that input is switched to the monitor output.

The name of the selected input is shown in the display: SAT, DVD, VCR or AUX, etc.

EXT 5.1

To select the source connected to the 5.1 channel input press EXT 5.1. When this input is selected, none of the alternative surround modes are available.

SURROUND MODE

When a selected digital input carries a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the AVR100 automatically detects it and processes the signal accordingly.

For an analogue input or when no Dolby Digital or DTS signal is detected, pressing the SURROUND MODE button cycles through the available surround sound modes: Stereo, Pro Logic and Hall effect.

The selected mode is displayed in the main section of the display for three seconds, before reverting to show the active input. The surround mode continues to be shown in the left hand side of the display.

Dolby Digital, DTS Both of these formats feature six independent audio channels: Left, Centre, Right, Surround Left, Surround Right and a ‘Low Frequency Effects’ (LFE) or subwoofer channel.

Dolby Pro Logic This format decodes the centre and surround sound signals embedded in Dolby Surround or Dolby Stereo movie soundtracks.

Hall effectThis format decodes a normal stereo signal to simulate the ambience of a concert hall.

TAPE MONITOR

The TAPE MONITOR button selects the audio output from a cassette deck connected to the TAPE IN phono sockets of the AVR100. It also enables you to monitor a recording being made on a 3-head cassette deck. Tape monitor status is shown in red on the display.

When the tape monitor is selected, pressing other source buttons changes the signal sent to the recorder.

NOTE: TAPE MONITOR is a latching button: you will need to press it again before selecting another source for listening.

CD

The CD button selects the source connected to the CD phono sockets.

FM, AM

To select the integrated tuner function of the AVR100, press the FM or AM button. See the facing page for Tuner control instructions.
