FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS

DSpeaker/Channel Input Indicators: These indicators are multipurpose, indicating either the speaker type selected for each channel or the incoming data-signal configuration. The left, center, right, right surround and left surround speaker indicators are composed of three boxes, while the subwoofer is a single box. The center box lights when a “Small” speaker is selected, and the two outer boxes light when “Large” speakers are selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the center, surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been selected for that position. (See page 20 for more information on configuring speakers.) The letters inside each of the center boxes display active input channels. For standard analog inputs, only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo input. When a digital source is playing, the indicators will light to display the channels being received at the digital input. When the letters flash, the digital input has been interrupted.

(See page 31 for more information on the Channel Indicators).

NOTE: When you have reassigned the surround back speakers to the remote zone using the MULTI ROOM SETUP menu, the boxes that indicate the presence of the surround back speakers will automatically disappear, reflecting the fact that the main listening area is now configured for

5.1-channel operation. (See page 33 for more information on reassigning the surround back speakers for multiroom use.)

ESurround Modes: Press this button to select a surround sound (e.g.,multichannel) mode. The Surround Modes menu will appear on screen, and the menu line will appear on the lower line of the front- panel display.

Use the front-panel or remote KL Buttons to highlight a different menu line: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie, Music or Video Game. Each line represents a type of audio signal, and is set to the surround mode the AVR will automatically select when it detects the audio signal.

You may manually select a different mode for each type of audio. Press the OK Button when the menu line is highlighted, and the available surround mode options for the current signal will appear. Use the KL Buttons to select the desired mode, and press the OK Button to engage it. Press the Back/Exit Button to exit the Surround Modes menu and display the next higher menu in the hierarchy.

See the Advanced Functions section for more information on surround modes.

FBack/Exit: Press this button to return to the previous menu. When the main AVR menu is displayed, press this button to exit the menu system.

GDigital Optical Front Input: Connect the optical­ digital audio output of an audio or video product to this jack.

HDigital Coax Front Input: This jack is normally used for connection to the output of portable digital audio devices, video game consoles or other products that have a coax digital jack.

IVideo Front Input 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.

JSource List: Press this button to select a source device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g., DVD.
