Front Panel Features

1 Power Button

This turns the PT-7010A on or off. It is a non-latching momentary button. If you press Z2 first, it can turn on Zone 2 (even if the Main Zone is off).

IMPORTANT- Please note the PT-7010A requires initialization after the power cord is plugged into the AC receptacle. Push and hold the power button for approximately. 5 seconds. The unit will power up after this small delay. The second push of the power button will turn the unit off and after this the unit will turn on and off in a normal fashion.

2 IR Receiver Window

This window should be clean and free from obstruction for the remote control to work correctly.

3 Processor Display

This soothing blue display shows which input is selected, the tuner frequency, volume level, and other useful information.

4 Volume Knob

Rotate this manual control clockwise to increase the volume. The dB level will appear in the front panel display. When turning on a new source, make sure the level is low, such as -80 dB and increase it slowly. The dB display becomes less negative as the volume increases. The PT- 7010A volume control is velocity sensitive. If turned slowly, the volume will change in small increments. If

rotated quickly, level change will be made in larger increments.

Note: When the PT-7010A is turned on, it has a deliberately slow and smooth volume ramp from silence, up to the level that was set when the unit was last turned off. It can also be programmed to come up to a preset volume you have selected, rather than the previous volume. The knob does not turn when volume is operated from the PT-7010A remote.

5 Z2 (Zone 2)

Any changes you make after pressing this, will affect Zone 2 and not the Main Zone. For example, press Z2, then POWER to turn on Zone 2, then adjust the Volume and select an input. Press Z2 again to revert back to Main Zone operation. It will also revert back after a short period of no activity.

Note: If Zone 2 has not been enabled this button has no effect. The unit is shipped with Zone 2 disabled.

6 Input Select Buttons

Use these controls to select the source that you want to listen to and/or view. Using the On Screen Display (OSD) IN-PUTS menu, each input can be adjusted in level so that all the inputs have similar volumes. Each input can also be set to enter a desired surround mode whenever that input is selected.

Note: After you have selected an input, you should check that the PT-7010A is set to the desired surround mode (or the stereo mode).

7 Mode Up/Down (Mode Buttons)

These buttons allow you to step up or down through the various sound play-back modes.
