OPERATION
Basic Operation
Once you have completed the setup and configuration of the AVR480, it is simple to operate. The following instructions should be followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver:
Turning the AVR480 On or Off
•When using the AVR480 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 or the Source Button ! on the front panel or the AVR Selector 6. Note that 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 Source Selector Buttons 56 on the remote.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector Buttons 5 to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector 6 to have the remote control the AVR 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 3 on the remote. To switch off both the AVR480 and a compatible DVD or CD player, first press the Input Selector Button 5 and then press the Power Off Button 3. After that, press the AVR Selector Button 6, followed by the Power Off Button 3.
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.
