Operation
Basic Operation
Once you have completed the setup and configu- ration of the AVR 3000, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions should be followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver:
Turning the AVR 3000 On or Off
•When using the AVR 3000 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control 2or the Source button !on the front panel or the AVR Selector 5. Note that the Power Indicator
3will turn green. 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 on
the remote 4 | . |
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector buttons 4(except VID4) to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector 5to have the remote control the AVR functions.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses- sion, simply press the System Power Control
2on the front panel or the Power Off Button 3on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear panel
Switched AC Outlets and the Power
Indicator 3will turn amber.
When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3.
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 may be lost if the unit is left turned off with the Main Power Switch 1for more than two weeks.
Using the Sleep Timer
•To program the AVR 3000 for automatic turn- off, press the Sleep Button 9on the remote. Each press of the button will increase the time before shut down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the Preset Number/Sleep Timer Indicator Rand it will count down until the time has elapsed.
When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off (to Standby mode). Note that the front panel display will dim to one half brightness when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep Button 9until the information display returns to normal brightness and the Sleep indicator numbers disappear and the words SLEEP OFF appear in the Main Information Display Y.
Source Selection
•To select a source, press any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote 46.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector buttons 4(except VID4) to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector 5to have the remote control the AVR functions.
•The input source may also be changed by pressing the
•As the input is changed, the AVR 3000 will automatically switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode and speaker configura- tion that were entered during the configuration process for that source.
•The

The input name will also appear in the Main Information Display Yand a green LED will light next to the selected input’s name in the
•When a pure audio source (Tuner, CD, Tape, 6 Channel direct inputs) is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1 and
Video 2 Outputs (except from its own
Video 1/ source) and Video Monitor Output
. This permits simultaneous viewing and lis- tening to different sources.
•When a Video source is selected, its audio sig- nal will be fed to the speakers and the video sig- nal for that input will be routed to the appropriate
Monitor Output jack and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 3000.
Controls and Use of Headphones

Volume Up/Down | buttons. |
•The Balance Control & may be used to adjust the relative sound output between the left front and right front speakers.

•For private listening, plug the 6.3 mm stereo phone plug from a pair of stereo headphones into the front panel Headphone Jack 4. Note that when the headphone’s plug is connected, the word HEADPHONE will scroll once across the Main Information Display Yand all speakers will be silenced.
