Front panel controls
POWER
Press the POWER button to turn the AVR100 on. The status LED changes to green on powering up and the display shows the active input. Pressing the POWER button again turns the unit and the status LED off.
A red status LED indicates that the AVR100 is in stand by and can be switched on by the remote handset.
Input selection
The input selection buttons are labelled to correspond with the audio and video inputs on the rear panel of the AVR100. To select an input, press the appropriate button on the front panel. The audio signal for that source will then be routed to the speakers. Any picture signal associated with that input is switched to the monitor output.
The name of the selected input is shown in the display: SAT, DVD, VCR or AUX, etc.
EXT 5.1
To select the source connected to the 5.1 channel input press EXT 5.1. When this input is selected, none of the alternative surround modes are available.

For an analogue input or when no Dolby Digital or DTS signal is detected, pressing the SURROUND MODE button cycles through the available surround sound modes: Stereo, Pro Logic and Hall effect.
The selected mode is displayed in the main section of the display for three seconds, before reverting to show the active input. The surround mode continues to be shown in the left hand side of the display.
