and

Set Buttons:

These buttons are

used to make selections within the on-screen menu system, or when
accessing the functions of the four buttons surrounding this area of the
remote – Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input or Delay.

Digital Input Select:

Press this button to select the specific digital

audio input (or analog audio input) you used for the current source.

Delay:

Press this button to set delay times that compensate for placing

the speakers at different distances from the listening position, or to
resolve a “lip sync” issue that may be caused by digital video process-
ing. This may also be done using the on-screen menu system, as
described in the Initial Setup section.

Numeric Keys:

Use these buttons to enter radio station frequencies

or to select station presets. Press the Direct button before entering the
station frequency.

Tuning Mode:

This button toggles between manual (one frequency

step at a time) and automatic (seeks frequencies with acceptable signal
strength) tuning mode. It also toggles between stereo and mono modes
when an FM station is tuned.

Memory:

After you have tuned a particular radio station, press this

button, then the numeric keys, to save that station as a radio preset.

Tuning:

Press these buttons to tune a radio station. Depending on

whether the tuning mode has been set to manual or automatic, each
press will either change one frequency step at a time, or seek the next
frequency with acceptable signal strength.

Direct:

Press this button before using the Numeric Keys to directly

enter a radio station frequency.

Clear:

Press this button to clear a radio station frequency you have

started to enter.

Preset Stations Selector:

Press these buttons to select a preset

radio station.

Tone Mode:

Press this button to access the tone controls (bass and

treble). Use the Navigation Buttons to make your selections.

Disc Skip:

This button has no effect on the receiver, but is used with

some optical disc changers to skip to the next disc.

Macros:

These buttons may be programmed to execute long

command sequences with a single button press. They are useful for
programming the command to turn on or off all of your components,
or for accessing specialized functions for a different component than
you are currently operating.

Surround Mode Selectors:

Press any of these buttons to select

a type of surround sound (e.g., multichannel) mode. Choose from the
Dolby modes, DTS modes, Logic 7 modes or Stereo modes. Each

press of a button will cycle to the next available variant of that mode.
Not all modes or mode groups are available with all sources.

Night Mode:

Press this button to activate Night mode with specially

encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts. Night mode compresses the
audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume to avoid disturbing
others, while dialogue remains intelligible.

Track Skip:

These buttons have no effect on the receiver, but are

used with many source components to change tracks or chapters.

Dim:

Press this button to partially or fully dim the front-panel display.

Transport Controls:

These buttons have no effect on the receiver,

but are used to control many source components. By default, when the
remote is operating the receiver, these buttons will control a DVD player.
