1.  MAIN POWER SWITCH - The only time 

to turn OFF the Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 
with this switch is when the system will not 
be used for some time, or if there is the pos-
sibility of thunder and lighting, high winds, or 
frequent power outages. Normally this switch 
is left on. When this switch is turned off, 
there is no power to the unit, and it cannot 
be turned on with the remote or any other 
method.

2.  VOLTAGE SELECTION - The Concert  

AVR-7 / AVR-9 is designed to operate with 
either 110-120V volt or 220-240V line volt-
ages. 

 

WARNING: Before the unit is turned on, 
make sure that this switch is set to your local 
AC power voltage.

3.  POWER CONNECTION - All good AC 

power flows in here.

4.  FAN - A fan is used to cool down the inter-

nal power amplifiers.

 

Caution: Do not block the fan or any of the 
ventilation slots. There should always be 
plenty of good ventilation to cool the unit.
