The main display indicates the master volume by default, or the following offsets when chosen: balance, center, rear, subwoofer. In addition, it can also display the input level (used in calibrating the Dolby Pro Logic circuitry to the source material) and the rear channel delay (in milliseconds). Right- and Left-facing arrows are provided to indicate the direction of the balance offset. Finally, the infrared receiver and transmitter for the remote control are positioned on the left side of the main display.

4VOLUME +/–

These up/down buttons are used to make adjustments on the PAV, apart from source and path selection. While the volume +/– buttons normally control the master volume of the music/home theater system (main path), they can be used in concert with other buttons to control almost any as- pect of system performance (as indicated below).

5MASTER

When the indicator above this button is lit, any adjustment made with the volume +/– buttons will be applied to all loudspeakers equally, including Center, Rears, and Subwoofer(s), thus raising or lowering the overall volume without changing the relative balance of the various speakers. This is the default mode of operation for the volume control, to which the PAV auto- matically returns after you make other adjustments.

6BALANCE

Pressing this button followed by the volume +/– buttons will alter the rela- tive volume of the Front Left and Front Right speakers. The direction of the perceived image shift is indicated by the green arrowhead indicators in the main display, as well as by the on screen display. Pressing volume + in the balance mode will shift the image to the right (in a “positive” direction); pressing volume – will shift the image to the left (in a “negative” direction).

7CENTER

Pressing this button followed by the volume +/– buttons will alter the vol- ume of the Center speaker relative to all others. The resulting offset will be indicated in the main display, as well as by the on screen display, until the volume control reverts to its normal master mode. As an example, increas- ing the center channel volume by three steps would result in a 3 being dis- played until the volume control reverted to normal operation, at which point the display would again indicate the overall volume setting.

8REAR

Pressing this button followed by the volume +/– buttons will alter the rela- tive volume of the Rear speakers relative to all others. The resulting offset will be indicated in the main display, as well as by the on screen display.
