Main Remote Control Functions

VDI Button: This button does not have any function for the AVR, but is provided for your use in programming the codes that are used to scroll up or down through the available inputs on your video display. This allows you to switch video inputs that are directly connected to your video display. Alternatively, you may program any com- patible remote code into the “up” and “down” portions of this button. For information on “learning” remote codes into a button on the AVR remote, follow the instructions shown

on page 48.

Channel Up/Down Selector: This button has no function when the AVR is being con- trolled, but when programmed for use with a VCR, TV, cable box, satellite receiver or other similar product it will change the channel up or down. See pages 46-54 for more information on programming the remote.

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 programming process. (See page 46 for more information on programming the remote.)

Tone Control 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 IN 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 /¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil 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 /¤ Navigation Buttons Eto enter the desired boost or cut setting. See page 22 for more information on the tone controls.

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.
