Main Remote Control Functions

ENavigation Button: This single disc-like button is used to change or scroll through items in the on-screen menus or on the front panel or to make configuration settings such as digital inputs or delay timing. When changing a setting, first press the button for the function or setting to be changed (e.g., press the Digital Select Button G to change a digital input) and then press one of these buttons to scroll through the list of options or to increase or decrease a set- ting. The sections in this manual describing the individual features and functions contain specific information on using these buttons for each application.

FSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker con- figuration and channel output level adjustment.

GDigital Select: Press this button to assign

one of the digital inputs *Ó to a source. (See page 43 for more information on using digital inputs.)

HNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, VCR or Sat receiver has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.

ITuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so MANUAL appears in the Main Information Display ˜, pressing the Tuning buttons K) will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use and AUTO appears in the Main Information Display ˜, pressing this button will change to monaural reception making even week stations audible. (See page 51 for more information.)

JDirect Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys H to select a station (See page 51 for more information on the tuner).

KTuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected frequency band. If the Tuner Mode but- ton I has been pressed or the Band button ! on the front panel was held pressed so that AUTO appears in the Main Information Display ˜, pressing either of the buttons will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When the MANUAL appears in the Main Information Display ˜, pressing these but- tons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 52 for more information.)

LOSD Button: Press this button to activate the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR’s parameters.

MDolby Mode Selector: This button is used to select one of the available Dolby Surround processing modes. Each press of this button will select one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes, Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby Digital. Note that the Dolby Digital mode is only available with a digital input selected and the other modes only as long as a Dolby Digital source is not playing (except Pro Logic II with Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings, see Note on page 42). See page 28 for the available Dolby surround mode options.

NDTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTS source is in use the AVR will select the appropri- ate mode automatically and no other mode will be available. Pressing this button will display the mode currently selected by the AVR´s decoder, depending on the surround material played and the speaker setting (see item 6, page 5). When a DTS source is not in use, this button has no function. (See page 28, 33 for the available DTS options.)

OLogic 7 Selector: Press this button to select one of the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 38 for the available Logic 7 options.)

PTransport Control Buttons: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR, but they may be programmed for the forward/reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video- cassette recorders. (See page 53 for more information on programming the remote.)

QLight Button: Press this button to activate the remote’s built-in backlight for better legibility of the buttons in a darkened room.

Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD player/changer they will change the tracks on the disc currently being played.

Stereo Mode Selector: Press this button to select a stereo playback mode. When the button is pressed so that DSP SURR OFF appears in the Main Information Display ˜, the AVR will operate in a bypass mode with true fully analog, two-channel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or bass manage- ment as opposed to other modes where digital processing is used. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Main Information Display ˜, you may enjoy a two-channel presentation of the sound along with the benefits of bass management. When the button is pressed so that 5 CH STEREO or

7 CH STEREO appears, the stereo signal is routed to all five speakers, if installed. (See page 39 for more information on stereo playback modes).

DTS Neo:6 Mode Selector: Pressing this selector button cycles the AVR through the various DTS Neo:6 modes, which extract a five- or seven-channel surround field from two-chan- nel program material (from PCM source or ana- log input signal). The first press selects the last DTS Neo:6 surround mode that was in use, and each subsequent press selects the next mode in the following order:

DTS Neo:6 MUSIC
