7Surround Mode Selector: Press this but- ton to change the surround mode by scrolling through the list of available modes. Note that depending on the type of input, some modes are not always available. (See page 25 for more information about surround modes.)
8Tuning Selector: Press the left side of the button to tune lower frequency stations and the right side of the button to tune higher frequency stations. When a station with a strong signal is reached, the TUNED indicator U will illumi- nate in the Information Display ñ .
To tune manually, tap the button lightly and note that the tuner will step up one frequency increment per button press. When the button is held for a few seconds you will note that the unit will quickly search the frequency band. Release it once the fast tuning starts and the tuner will automatically scan for the next station with an acceptable signal and then stop.
9Tuner Band Selector: Pressing this button will automatically switch the AVR to the Tuner mode. Pressing it again will switch between the AM and FM frequency bands. (See page 29 for more information on the tuner.)
)Preset Stations Selector: Press this but- ton to select stations that have been entered into the preset memory. (See page 29 for more information on tuner programming.)
!Input Source Selector: Press this button to change the input by scrolling through the list of input sources.
@FM Mode Selector: Press this button to select Auto or Manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator Vlights, the tuner will search for the next station with an acceptable signal when the Tuning Selector 8xŽis pressed. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator Vis not lit, each press of the Tuning Selector 8xŽ will increase the frequency. (See page 29 for more information on using the tuner.)
#Bass Control: Turn this control to modify the low frequency output of the left/right chan- nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.
$Video 4 Input Jacks: These audio/video jacks may be used for temporary connection to video games or portable audio/video products such as camcorders and portable audio players.
In normal use, they are an input that may be selected by pressing the Input Source Selector ! on the front panel, or the Video 4 Selector on either remote m•. These jacks may also be configured as an audio/video output, that will make a dub of the currently selected source when connected to an external recorder or camcorder. To change the jacks from their default setting as an input to an output, use the Advanced Menu in the OSD system. (See page 31 for more information on using the Video 4 jacks as a record output.)
%Video 4 Status Indicator: This indicator will normally be green to show that the Video 4 jacks are operating as an input source. When the jacks have been configured as an output, the indicator will turn red to show that they are being used for recording. (See page 31 for more information on using the Video 4 jacks.)
^Treble Control: Turn this control to modify the high frequency output of the left/right chan- nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.
&Balance Control: Turn this control to change the relative volume for the front left/right channels.
NOTE: For proper operation of the surround modes this control should be at the midpoint or “12 o’clock” position.
*Volume Control: Turn this knob clockwise to increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease the volume. If the AVR is muted, adjusting volume control will automatically release the unit from the silenced condition.
(Set Button: When making choices during the setup and configuration process, press this button to enter the desired setting as shown in the Information Display ñinto the AVR 7000’s memory. The set button may also be used to change the display brightness. (See page 31.)
îInput indicators: A green LED will light in front of the input that is currently being used as the source for the AVR 7000.
ïDelay: Press this button to begin the sequence of steps required to enter delay time settings. (See pages 20–21 for more informa- tion on delay times.)
ðDigital Input Selector: When playing a source that has a digital output, press this button to select between the Optical á and Coaxial ¡ Digital inputs. (See pages 27–29 for more information on digital audio.)
ñInformation Display: This display deliv- ers messages and status indications to help you operate the receiver. (See pages 7–8 for a com- plete explanation of the Information Display.)
òChannel Select Button: Press this button to begin the process of trimming the channel output levels using an external audio source. (For more information on output level trim adjustment, see page 29.)
óSpeaker Select Button: Press this button to begin the process of selecting the speaker positions that are used in your listening room. (See page 22 for more information on setup and configuration.)
ôTest Tone Selector: Press this button to begin the process of adjusting the channel out- put levels using the internal test tone as a ref- erence. (For more information on output level adjustment, see page 23.)
õSurround Mode Indicators: A green LED will light in front of the surround mode that is currently in use.
öRemote Sensor Window: The sensor behind this window receives infrared signals from the remote control. Aim the remote at this area and do not block or cover it unless an external remote sensor is installed.
