1 Main Power Switch: Press this button to
apply power to the AVR. When the switch is
pressed in, the unit is placed in a Standby
mode, as indicated by the orange LED 3. This
button MUST be pressed in to operate the unit.
To turn the unit off completely and prevent the
use of the remote control, this switch should be
pressed until it pops out from the front panel
so that the word “OFF” may be read at the top
of the switch.

NOTE: This switch is normally left in the “ON”
position.

2 System Power Control: When the Main
Power Switch 1 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 3 will turn blue when the unit is on.

3 Power Indicator: This LED will be illumi-
nated in orange 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 blue.

4 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.

ing the AVR’s configuration settings, use these
buttons to select from the choices available, as
shown in the Main Information Display Ú.

disables the Balance, Bass and Treble tone con-
trols. When the button is pressed so that the

nals. When the button is pressed so that the
words 

TONE OUT

appear in the Main
