FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS

A BC D E F G H I H J K L

The following controls and jacks are located behind the front-panel door. To open the door, place the edge of a finger on the left or right edge of the panel and gently swing the door down towards you.

AMain Power Switch: Press this switch to apply power to the AVR 430. When the switch is pressed in, the unit is placed in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber illumination surrounding the Standby/On Switch 1. This button MUST be pressed in to operate the unit. To turn the unit off and prevent the use of the remote control, this switch should be pressed until it pops out from the front panel so that the word “OFF” may be read at the top of the switch.

NOTE: This switch is normally left in the “ON” position.

BHeadphone Jack: This jack may be used to lis- ten to the AVR 430’s output through a pair of head- phones. Be certain that the headphones have a stan- dard 1/4" stereo phone plug, or that you use an adapter, as needed, to convert the plug on your head- phones to the 1/4" jack used on the AVR. When the headphone jack is in use, the main room speakers will automatically be turned off and the unit will output a standard stereo signal. You may also use one of the Dolby Headphone modes for an enhanced listening experience. (For more information on headphone lis- tening, see page 30.)

CTone Mode Button: This button controls the tone mode settings, enabling adjustment of the bass and treble boost/cut. You may also use it to take the tone controls out of the signal path completely for “flat” response. The first press of the button displays a TONE MODE message in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display. To take the controls out of the signal path, press either of the /Buttons H until the display reads TONE OUT. To change the bass or treble settings, press the button again until the desired option appears in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display and then press either of the /Buttons H to enter the desired boost or cut setting. (See pages 21 and 29 for more information on the tone controls.)

DSpeaker Selector Button: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 430 for the type of speakers it is being used with. For complete information on configuring the speaker settings, see page 23.

EChannel Adjust Selector: Press the button to begin the process of adjusting the channel level out- puts using the source currently playing through your AVR. (For complete information on adjusting the chan- nel output level, see page 34.)

FDigital Input Selector: Press this button to begin the process of selecting a digital source for use with the currently selected input. Once the button has been pressed, use the /Buttons H to choose the desired input and then press the Set Button I to enter the setting into the unit’s memory. (See page 30 for more information on digital audio.)

GDelay Adjust Selector: Press this button to begin the process of adjusting the delay settings for Dolby surround modes. (See page 25 for more information on delay adjustments.)

H ‹/Buttons: When making system configura- tion changes using the front-panel controls, press these button to scroll through the available choices for the option being adjusted.

ISet Button: When making system configuration changes using the front-panel controls, press this but- ton to enter a setting into the unit’s memory.

JOptical 3 Digital Input: Connect the optical digital output of an audio or video product to this jack.

KCoaxial 3 Digital Jack: Connect the coaxial digi- tal input or output for a digital audio product such as a portable audio player or video game to this jack. The jack is normally an input, but may be switched to an output for recording using the menu system. (See page 34 for more information.)

LVideo 4 Jacks: These audio/video jacks may be used as an input for temporary connection to video games or portable audio/video products such as cam- corders and portable audio players. (See page 34 for more information.)
