The following controls and jacks are located behind the front-panel door. To open the door, place the edge of a finger on the left or right edge of the panel and gently swing the door down towards you.

AMain Power Switch: Press this switch to apply power to the AVR 430. When the switch is pressed in, the unit is placed in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber illumination surrounding the Standby/On Switch 1. This button MUST be pressed in to operate the unit. To turn the unit off 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.

BHeadphone Jack: This jack may be used to lis- ten to the AVR 430’s output through a pair of head- phones. Be certain that the headphones have a stan- dard 1/4" stereo phone plug, or that you use an adapter, as needed, to convert the plug on your head- phones to the 1/4" jack used on the AVR. When the headphone jack is in use, the main room speakers will automatically be turned off and the unit will output a standard stereo signal. You may also use one of the Dolby Headphone modes for an enhanced listening experience. (For more information on headphone lis- tening, see page 30.)

CTone Mode Button: This button controls the tone mode settings, enabling adjustment of the bass and treble boost/cut. You may also use it to take the tone controls out of the signal path completely for “flat” response. The first press of the button displays a TONE MODE message in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display. To take the controls out of the signal path, press either of the ‹/› Buttons H until the display reads TONE OUT. To change the bass or treble settings, press the button again until the desired option appears in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display and then press either of the ‹/› Buttons H to enter the desired boost or cut setting. (See pages 21 and 29 for more information on the tone controls.)
