to transfer the codes from your TV’s remote to the 2.0 remote. Remember that in the factory default con- figuration, the TV Volume buttons q operate only when the TV Source button g has been pressed. To program the codes for use when other inputs are active, follow the instruction on page 17.

Note that the front panel volume control is electronic, unlike the traditional mechanical potentiometer volume controls on most conventional audio equipment. Electronic volume controls require more than one rotation to go from complete silence to maximum volume level, and there is no fixed start or stop point. As the volume control is changed a visual indicator will appear on screen (Figure OSD-13) to provide a visual reference of the volume level. Volume changes will also be shown on the front panel display (Figure FPD-8).

During a listening session it may occasionally be necessary to quickly lower the volume to answer the phone or for some other reason. This is easily done by pressing the Mute button 8s on either the front panel or remote. When either Mute button is pressed the output to all speakers will be interrupted, although the signal to the record outputs will remain active.

When the Mute function is engaged a message will appear in both the On-Screen Display (Figure OSD-15) and in the front panel Information Display (Figure FPD-9).
