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 31). See page 30 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 30 for the available DTS options.)

OLogic 7 Selector: Press this button to select one of the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 30 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 40 for more information on programming the remote.)

QSpare Button: This button has no function when used with the AVR. When used with the DVD player, it controls the Subtitle On/Off func- tion.

The ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons DE , the Set Button F and the Transport Controls P may be used to navigate the iPod and to operate many functions. See page 36, and the manuals for The Bridge and your iPod for more informa- tion.

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.

NOTE: With the press of any remote button the Input Selector button 45 associated 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).

Dim Button: Press this button to activate the Dimmer function, which reduces the bright- ness of the front-panel display, or turns it off entirely. The first press of the button shows the default state. Press the button again to change the display to reduce the brightness by 50%, and press it again within five seconds and the main display will go completely dark. Note that this setting is temporary; regardless of any changes, the display will always return to full brightness when the AVR is turned on. The blue illumination around the Power Indicator 3 will always remain at full brightness regardless of the setting to remind you that the AVR is still turned on.
