#Digital Optical 3 Input: Connect the opti- cal digital audio output of an audio or video prod- uct to this jack. When the Input is not in use, be certain to keep the plastic cap installed to avoid dust contamination that might degrade future performance.
$Input/Output Status Indicators: These LED indicators will normally light green to show that the front panel Video 4 A/V jacks or the Coaxial 3 digital jack is operating as an input. When either of these jacks has been configured for use as an output, the indicator will turn red to show that the jack may be used for recording. (See page 21 for more information on configur- ing the front panel jacks as outputs, rather than inputs.)
%Digital Coax 3 Jack: This jack is normally used for connection to the output of portable audio devices, video game consoles or other products that have a coax digital jack. It may also be configured as an output jack, to feed a digital signal to a
^Video 4 Jacks: These audio/video jacks may be used for temporary connection to video games or portable audio/video products such as camcorders and portable audio players. They may also be configured as output jacks to feed a signal to any recording Audio or Video device (see page 21 for more information).
&Bass Control: Turn this control to modify the low frequency output of the left/right channels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.
*Balance Control: Turn this control to change the relative volume for the front left/right channels.
NOTE: For proper operation of the surround modes this control should be at the midpoint or “12 o’clock” position.
(Treble Control: Turn this control to modify the high frequency output of the left/right chan- nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.
ÓVolume Control: Turn this knob clockwise to increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease the volume. If the AVR is muted, adjusting volume control will automatically release the unit from the silenced condition.
ÔSet Button: When making choices during the setup and configuration process, press this button to enter the desired setting as shown in the Main Information Display Ûinto the AVR5000’s memory. The set button may also be used to change the display brightness.
