this sensor receives infrared (Ir) commands from the remote control. It is 

important to ensure that the sensor is not blocked.

Surround Mode Select buttons:

 press these buttons to select a surround listening 

mode. Surround-mode availability depends on the nature of the source input signal, i.e.,

is in use, the current menu settings appear.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 If the protect message ever appears on the message display, 

turn off the AVr and unplug it from the Ac outlet. check all speaker wires for a 

possible short circuit (the “+” and “–” conductors touching each other or both
