Bass Control

 

1 Main Power Switch: Press this button to

apply power to the AVR 4500. When the switch

is pressed in, the unit is placed in a Standby

mode, as indicated by the orange LED 3 sur-

rounding the System Power Control 2. This

button MUST be pressed in to operate the unit.

To turn the unit off completely and prevent the

use of the remote control, this switch should be

pressed until it pops out from the front panel so

that the word “OFF” may be read at the top of

the switch.

NOTE: This switch is normally left in the “ON” position.

2 System Power Control: When the Main Power Switch 1 is “ON,” press this button to turn on the AVR 4500; press it again to turn the unit off (to Standby). Note that the Power Indicator surrounding the switch 3 will turn green when the unit is on.

3 Power Indicator: This LED will be illuminat- ed in orange when the unit is in the Standby mode to signal that the unit is ready to be turned on. When the unit is in operation, the indicator will turn green.

4 Headphone Jack: This jack may be used to listen to the AVR 4500’s output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 6.3 mm stereo phone plug. Note that the main room speakers and all Preamp Outputs ￿ will automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.

5 Dolby Mode Selector: Pressing this selector button cycles the AVR through the various Dolby surround modes. The first press of the button switches the surround mode to the last Dolby sur- round mode that was in use.

Each subsequent press selects the next mode in the following order:

 

 

DOLBY

 

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE

 

 

 

DIGITAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II

 

 

MUSIC

 

 

 

EMULATION

DOLBY 3 STEREO

Note that DOLBY DIGITAL mode is available only with digital input selected and the other modes only when a Dolby Digital source is not playing.

6 DTS Surround Mode Selector: When a DTS source is in use the AVR 4500 will select the appropriate mode automatically and no other mode will be available. In that case, pressing that button will display the mode currently selected by the AVR´s decoder. Depending on the surround material played and the speaker setting, one of the following modes will be selected by the unit:

DTS-ES 6.1 DISCRETE

DTS-ES 6.1 MATRIX

DTS + NEO:6

DTS 5.1

Both DTS ES 6.1 Modes and DTS+NEO:6 will be selected only when surround back speakers have been configured with your system: DISCRETE with appropriate source material, MATRIX with

6.1Matrix recordings and DTS+NEO:6 with nor- mal DTS 5.1 channel recordings. The DTS 5.1 mode will be selected with any DTS source, when no surround back speakers are configured (see also pages 24 and 32-35).
