If the volume control is set too high,
a speaker overload may activate the
unit’s protective circuitry. This will cut
the output to the speakers and change
the LED surrounding the power switch
to a red color. To clear the problem, turn
the unit off for a few seconds, and lower
the volume before turning it back on. If
the problem re-occurs, turn the unit off
and consult your dealer or an authorized
service center for advice.

NOTE: Unlike conventional mechanically
driven volume controls, this receiver’s
volume is set using digital devices. This
means that the volume knob has no firm
stopping point at either end of its rotation.
Depending on the speed with which the
knob is turned, it is normal for as many
as three complete rotations to be required
for full travel from the loudest setting to
the softest.

Surround Mode Selection
One of the most important features of
the AVR75 is its ability to reproduce a full
multichannel surround soundfield from
Dolby Digital sources, analog matrix
surround encoded programs, and stan-
dard stereo programs. In all a total of
seven listening modes are available.

Selection of a surround mode is based
on personal taste, as well as the type of
