FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS

0

  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.

1

  System Power Control: When the Main Power Switch on the rear 

panel is “ON,” press this button to turn on the AVR; press it again to turn 
the unit off (to Standby). Note that the Power Indicator 2 will turn 
white when the unit is on.

2

  Power Indicator: This LED will be illuminated in amber when the 

unit is in the Standby mode to signal that the unit is ready to be turned 
on. When the unit is in operation, the indicator will turn white.

3

  Headphone Jack: This jack may be used to listen to the AVR’s 

output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones 
have a standard 6,3 mm stereo phone plug. Note that the speakers will 
automatically be turned off when the headphones are connected. 
When configuring your system using EzSet/EQ, the calibration 
microphone should be plugged into this jack using the supplied adaptor 
that converts the small mini-plug at the end of the microphone’s cord to 
a 6,3 mm plug.

4

  Navigation: These buttons are used to navigate the 

AVR’s

 menus and 

to operate the tuner.

5

  OK Button: Press this button to select the currently highlighted item.

6

  AVR Settings Button: Press this button to access the 

AVR’s

 main 

menu.

7

  Info Settings Button: Press this button to directly access the 

AVR’s

8

  Resolution: Pressing this Button once and then using the 

KL

 

Buttons 4 changes the AVR’s video output resolution to these settings: 
576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The AVR is set to default to 576i when 
first switched on, or if you reset it later. This resolution has been chosen 
to ensure that the On Screen Display information is visible on your TV 
even with analog S-Video or Composite (CVBS) signals. Having selected 
the best resolution for your system, confirm with the 

OK Button 5. 

The Front Panel Display now shows "Res Change, Cancel". If you press OK 
now, or do nothing for 20 seconds, the 

AVR

 returns to normal play mode. 

To confirm the new resolution, press the

the Display from "Cancel" to "Accept", then press the 

OK Button 5. The 

new resolution is now in use.
