Main Remote Control Functions

tDirect Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After press- ing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a station. (See page 29 for more information on the tuner.)

uTuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected frequency band. If the Tuner Mode button s@has been pressed so that the AUTO indicator Xis illuminated, pressing and holding either of the buttons for three seconds will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When the AUTO indicator Xis NOT illumi- nated, pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 29 for more information.)

vOSD Button: Press this button to activate the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 310’s parameters.

wMacro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a “Macro”, which is a pre-programmed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 36 for more information on storing and recalling macros.)

xTransport Controls: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR 310, 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 38 for more information on programming the remote.)

ySkip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR 310, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD changer they will change the disc currently being played in the changer.

zDisc Skip Buttons: These buttons have no direct function for the AVR 310, but they are often used when the remote is programmed to operate a CD or DVD changer to change the discs in the changer. (See page 37 for more information on using the remote with other devices.)

`Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is

in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 310’s mem-

ory. When some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and cassette decks, are selected using the device Input Selectors e, these buttons may function as chapter step or track advance.

28Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station’s frequency.

29Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR 310’s preset memory. Once the MEMORY indicator U flashes, you have five seconds to enter a preset memory location using the Numeric Keys r. (See page 30 for more information.)

30Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR 310 when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set button p and then using the /¤ buttons n to change the setting. Press the Set button again to complete the process. (See page 20 for more information.)

31Button: Press this button to change a setting or selection when configuring many of the AVR 310’s settings.

32Speaker Select: Press this button

to begin the process of configuring the

AVR 310’s Bass Management System for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the /¤ buttons n to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set button p and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set button p twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 21 for more information.)

33Multi-Room:Press this button to activate the multiroom system or to begin the process of changing the input or volume level for the sec- ond zone. (See page 34 for more information on the multiroom system.)

34Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise or lower the system volume.

35TV/Video Button: This button does not have a direct function on the AVR 310, 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 output 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.

36SPL Indicator Select: This button acti- vates the AVR 310’s EzSet function to quickly and accurately calibrate the AVR 310’s output levels. Press and hold the button for three sec- onds and then release it. Note that the Test Tone will begin circulating, and the Program Indicator c will change colors. During this sequence, EzSet will automatically adjust the output levels for all channels until they are equal, as shown by the Program Indicator lighting green for each channel. Press this but- ton again when the adjustment is complete to turn off the test tone. (See page 23 for more information on EzSet.)

376-Ch. Direct Input: Press this button

to select the component connected to the

6-Channel Direct Input ª as the source.

38Mute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 310 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected.

When the AVR 310 remote is being programmed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Input Selector button e to begin the programming process. (See page 35 for more information on programming the remote.)

39EzSet 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 cov- ers these slots. (See page 23 for more informa- tion on using EzSet.)
