POWER switch (for all models other than USA and Canadian models) [28]

Press to turn on and off the main power supply for the TX-SR800. When the TX-SR800 is turned on with the POWER switch, the STANDBY indicator lights.

•Before turning on the power, check to make sure that all cords are properly connected.

•When the power is turned on, a sudden surge of current will occur that may adversely affect the operation of other devices. To prevent this, do not plug the TX-SR800 into the same circuit used by sensitive equipment, e.g., computers.

STANDBY/ON button [28]

If pressed with the POWER switch turned on (with the receiver plugged in for US models), the TX-SR800 turns on and the display lights up. If pressed again, the TX-SR800 returns to the standby state. In the standby state, the display is turned off and the TX- SR800 cannot be operated.

Press to assign the radio station that you are currently tuned into to a preset channel or press to delete a previously preset station.

FM MODE button [34]

Press to change the stereo mode from AUTO to MONO and vice versa. Each time this button is pressed, the AUTO indication turns on and off indicating the current mode. If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, switch from AUTO to MONO.

TUNING /, PRESET /, cursor buttons (///) [34, 35, 40]

To tune into a radio station, press the TUNING / buttons. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 100-kHz(or 50-kHz) increments for FM and 10-kHz (or 9-kHz) increments for AM.

When FM is selected as the input source, you can hold down either the TUNING or button and then release it to activate the auto- search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one. When navigating through the menu settings, these buttons move the cursor up or down (or change the highlighted item).

To select a radio station that was stored using the MEMORY button, press the PRESET / buttons.

When navigating through the menu settings, these buttons select the value or item that you selected with the TUNING / buttons. When you press the SETUP button, the TUNING and PRESET buttons become cursor buttons to be used for Setup Menu operations.

REC OUT/ZONE 2/OFF buttons [36-38]

These buttons allow you to use the TX-SR800 to output to a remote zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording (Rec Out). Press the REC OUT button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording. Press the ZONE 2 button to enjoy the output from the TX-SR800 in a different room, which is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2).

When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.

To select an input source, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press one of the input source button within 8 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone.

To set the output to the source channel, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) twice in succession. To turn off the output, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press the OFF button within 8 seconds.

Note:

The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When REC OUT is selected, nothing is output to Zone 2. When ZONE 2 is selected, REC OUT is automatically fixed to SOURCE.
