FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS
A B | C D E F G H I H J K L M N |
The following controls and jacks are located behind the
A Main Power Switch: Press this switch to apply power to the AVR 445. 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.
B Headphone Jack: This jack may be used to lis- ten to the AVR 445’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 the Dolby Headphone mode for an enhanced listening experience.
C Tone 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
D Speaker Selector Button: Press this button to begin the process of manually configuring the AVR 445 for the type of speakers it is being used with. For complete information on configuring the speaker settings, see page 29.
E Channel Adjust Selector: Press the button to begin the process of manually adjusting the channel level outputs using the source currently playing through your AVR. For complete information on adjusting the channel output level, see page 41.
F Digital Input Selector: Press this button to begin the process of selecting a digital source for use with the currently selected input. Once the button has been pressed, use the ‹/› Buttons H to choose the desired input and then press the Set Button I to enter the setting into the unit’s memory. See page 35 for more information on digital audio.
G Delay Adjust Selector: Press this button to begin the process of adjusting the delay settings. See page 30 for more information on delay adjustments.
H ‹/› Buttons: When making system configura- tion changes using the
I Set Button: When making system configuration changes using the
J EzSet/EQ Microphone Jack: Before starting the EzSet/EQ automated setup process, plug the micro- phone into this jack. The microphone does not need to be plugged in at other times.
K Optical 4 Digital Input: Connect the optical digital output of an audio or video product to this jack.
L Coaxial 4 Digital Input: Connect the coaxial digital output of a digital audio product such as a portable audio player or video game to this jack.
M Input/Output Status Indicator: This LED indicator will normally light green to show that the front- panel Video 4 Input/Output Jacks N are operating as inputs. When these jacks are configured for use as outputs, the indicator will turn red to show that the jack may be used as an output for recording. (See pages 22 and 40 for more information on configuring the front- panel jacks as outputs, rather than inputs.)
N Video 4 Input/Output Jacks: These audio/video jacks may be used as either inputs or outputs for temporary connection to video games or portable audio/video products such as camcorders and portable audio players. (See pages 22 and 40 for more information on switching these jacks between inputs and outputs.)
