Main Remote Control Functions

MDolby Mode Selector: This button is used to select one of the available Dolby Surround processing modes. Each press of this button will select one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes, Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby Digital. Note that the Dolby Digital mode is only available with a digital input selected and the other modes only as long as a Dolby Digital source is not playing (except Pro Logic II with Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings, see page 32). See page 27 for the available Dolby sur- round mode options.

NDTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTS source is in use the AVR will select the appropri- ate mode automatically and no other mode will be available. Pressing this button will display the mode currently selected by the AVR´s decoder, depending on the surround material played and the speaker setting. When a DTS source is not in use, this button has no function. (See page 27 for the available DTS options.)

OLogic 7 Selector: Press this button to select one of the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 27 for the available Logic 7 options.)

PTransport Control Buttons: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR, but they may be programmed for the forward/reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video- cassette recorders. (See page 44 for more information on programming the remote.)

QEzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor microphone for the EzSet microphone is behind these slots. When using the remote to calibrate speaker output levels using EzSet, be sure that you do not hold the remote in a way that covers these slots. (See page 24 for more information on using EzSet).

Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD player/changer they will change the tracks on the disc currently being played.

Stereo Mode Selector: Press this button to select a stereo playback mode. When the but- ton is pressed so that DSP SURR OFF appears in the Main Information Display ˜, the AVR will operate in a bypass mode with true fully analog, two-channel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or bass manage- ment as opposed to other modes where digital processing is used. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Main Information Display ˜, you may enjoy a two- channel presentation of the sound along with the benefits of bass management. When the button is pressed so that 5 CH STEREO or

7STEREO appears, the stereo signal is rout- ed to all five speakers, if installed.(See page 23 for more information on stereo playback modes).

DTS Neo:6 Mode Selector: Pressing this selector button cycles the AVR through the various DTS Neo:6 modes, which extract a five- or seven-channel surround field from two-channel program material (from PCM source or analog input signal). The first press selects the last DTS Neo:6 surround mode that was in use, and each subsequent press selects the next mode in the following order:

Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a “Macro”, which is a pre-pro- grammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 41 for more information on storing and recalling macros.)

RDS Select Button: Press this button to dis- play the various messages that are part of the RDS data system of the AVR’s tuner. (See page 39 for more information on RDS).

Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR’s memory. When CD or DVD is selected using the Input Selector button 4, these buttons may function as Slow Fwd/Rev (DVD) or ”+10” (CD, CDR).

Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station’s frequency.

Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR ’s preset memory. Two underline indicators will flash at the right side of the Main Information Display ˜, you then have five seconds to enter a preset memory loca- tion using the Numeric Keys H. (See page 38 for more information.)

Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set button Fand then using the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto change the setting. Press the Set button again to complete the process. (See page 23 for more information.)

›Button: Press this button to change a set- ting or selection when configuring many of the AVR’s settings.

Speaker Select: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR’s Bass Management System for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto select the channel you wish to set up.

Press the Set Button Fand then select the speaker type (Large, Small or None) appropriate with the speaker in use. (See page 19 for more information.)

Multi-Room:Press this button to activate the Multiroom system or to begin the process of changing the input or volume level for the second zone. (See page 37 for more information on the Multiroom system.)

Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise or lower the system volume.

SPL Indicator Select: This button activates the AVR’s EzSet function to quickly and accurately calibrate the AVR’s output levels. During this sequence, EzSet will automatically adjust the out- put levels for all channels until they are equal, as shown by the Program Indicator 2lighting green for each channel. (See page 24 for more information on EzSet.)

TV/Video Button: This button does not have a direct function on the AVR, but when used with a compatibly programmed VCR, DVD or satellite receiver that has a “TV/Video” function, pressing this button will switch between the out- put of the player or receiver and the external video input to that player. Consult the Owner’s Manual for your specific player or receiver for the details of how it implements this function.

Mute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected. When the AVR remote is being programmed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Input Selector button 4to begin the pro- gramming process. (See page 41 for more infor- mation on programming the remote.)

Dim Button: Press this button to activate the Dimmer function, which reduces the bright- ness of the front panel display, or turn it off entirely. The first press of the button shows the default state, which is full brightness by indicat- ing DIMMER FULL in the Main Information Display ˜. Press the button again within five seconds to reduce the bright- ness by 50%, as indicated by DIMMER HALF. Press the button again within five sec- onds and the main display will go completely dark. Note that this setting is temporary; the dis- play will always return to full brightness when the AVR is turned on. In addition,both the Power Indicator 3 and the blue accent lighting inside the volume control will always remain at full brightness regardless of the setting. This is to remind you that the AVR is still turned on.

NOTE: With the press of any remote button the Input Selector button 45associated with the botton pressed will briefly flash red to confirm the transmission of the command, as long as there is a function for that button with the device selected (see function list on pages 44-45).
