Basic Operations
This section covers the basic operating controls of the receiver and the
remote.
Power and Standby On/Off 1nNO
The rear panel POWER switch is a master power switch. The button
must be in the ON position for the unit to operate. When it is in the OFF
position, the unit is fully off and cannot be activated from the front panel
or remote control.
In normal operation, the rear panel POWER switch is always left in the
ON position. The receiver is activated and deactivated using the front-
panel STANDBY button, the remote control POWER button, or the remote
ON/OFF buttons. When activated, the unit is fully functional and the
front-panel display illuminated. When deactivated, the unit goes into a
standby mode, with minimal power applied to the microprocessor.
Note: When the unit has AC power applied and the rear
panel POWER switch is on, the front-panel STANDBY LED lights,
regardless of whether the unit is in standby mode or activated.
The front-panel STANDBY button and the remote control POWER button
function as toggle switches. Press either button to activate the unit. Press
either button again to put the unit in standby mode.
The ON/OFF buttons on the remote serve the same function, but provide
discrete ON (active) or OFF (standby) commands.
Note: When using the Zone room capability of the receiver, the
standby activation is completely independent for the main room
and the zones. ON/OFF commands sent from the remote in
the main room will not af
fect Zones 2–4. Pressing the ON/OFF
buttons on a remote located in Zone 2, 3 or 4 will only affect that
zone and not the main room. When the unit is activated in one of
the zones, that zone’
s icon is lit in the front-panel FL display.
There are four available power mode options, which may be useful in
configuring the receiver for special system configurations. See the Other
Options menu in the Setup section of this manual for additional details
on changing the default standby behavior.
‘Resume’ retains the last power configuration when the main power is
switched OFF and then switched ON again. For example, if the receiver
is in operation and the main power is switched OFF, when the main
power is switched ON, the unit will be in operation mode again.
All OFF command: A long press of the OFF button (more than 3
seconds), from any room, sets the receiver to standby.
Volume Adjustments -Q
The listening volume of the receiver can be adjusted from the front panel
or the remote.
Front Panel: Rotate the front-panel VOLUME knob clockwise to increase
the volume, counterclockwise to decrease.
Remote: Press the VOL UP button to increase the volume; press the VOL
DOWN button to decrease.
When you adjust the volume, the setting is shown on the SDTV monitor
and/or the front-panel display. The current volume setting is also shown
on the SYSTEM STATUS OSD screen.
Note: The VOLUME controls can be used to change the volume
in Zone 2, 3 or 4. Press the front-panel or remote control ZONE
button and adjust the volume.
After 10 seconds, the VOLUME
control reverts to normal operation.
Muting the Sound wR
The volume of the receiver can be turned off or muted. Push the MUTE
button on the front panel or the remote once to turn the sound off. A
MUTE indication appears in the OSD and the front-panel displays. Press
the MUTE button again or adjust the volume settings to restore output
levels.
Selecting Inputs
Input Buttons 6qA
You can select any of nine source inputs for listening and/or watching:
CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, VIDEO 4, VIDEO 5, or
MULTI INPUT (EXT on remote).
The front-panel display and the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY show the name of
the current listening source selection. The labels for VIDEO sources can
be customized to match your components.
Note: When the TUNER input source button is pressed, the
frequency of the currently tuned station is displayed. Pressing the
button again toggles the display to show the word
TUNER instead
of the frequency display.
All of the source inputs can be customized using the ON-SCREEN
DISPLAY configuration menus to accept either analog signals or digital
signals from one of the seven assignable digital inputs, or HDMI Audio.
When a digital input is assigned, the unit checks for the presence of
a digital signal at that input. If a digital signal is present when the
source is selected, it is automatically activated and the proper surround
mode enabled. If no digital signal is present, the analog inputs for that
source are selected. This auto-sensing is the preferred configuration for
digital source inputs such as DVD players. When an ANALOG input is
assigned, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may
be available at the digital input.
By default, the source input buttons are factory configured to select the
following inputs:
CD: Digital Coaxial 2
Tuner: Analog (built-in)
Tape: Digital Coaxial 3
Video 1: HDMI Audio (HDMI 1)
Video 2: HDMI Audio (HDMI 2)
Video 3: Digital Optical 1
Video 4: Digital Optical 2
Video 5: Digital Coaxial 1
Each source input should be configured using the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY
menu system to use the desired input type (analog or digital auto-
sensing). See the INPUT MENU section for configuration instructions.
