Surround Mode:

Press this but-

ton to select the desired surround
listening mode (see page 16).

Center Boost:

Press this button

to increase the level of the centre
channel 4 dB above that of

dialogue intelligibility. A red LED will
illuminate above the button when the
circuit is engaged (see page 15).

Press the left

side of the button to tune lower
frequency stations and the right side

indicator

will illuminate in the

(see page 17).

Contour:

Press this button when

listening at low levels to activate
special circuits that compensate for
the response of the human ear at
lower volumes. In the off position the
unit will provide flat frequency
response independently from the
volume (see page 15).

Volume Control:

Rotate this

control to raise or lower the volume.
Note that this is a motorized control,
and when the volume is changed
using the remote control

it will

move in response to remote
commands.

Mute/Volume Indicator:

In nor-

mal operation this green LED pro-
vides a relative indication of the
unit’s volume level. When the AVR41
is in the

MUTE

mode, this indicator

flashes to remind you that output to
the speakers has momentarily been
silenced (see page 15).

Wrap:

When the Dolby Pro Logic

or Hall modes are in use, press these
buttons to increase or decrease the
amount of effect for the Wrap circuit
(see pages 16/17).

operation.

Tuning Mode:

Press this button

to select the tuning and receiving
(mono/stereo) mode for the FM tuner.
When

the tuner will

automatically search stations with

able stereo reception in the moment
any of the

Tuning

buttons

››



‹‹

on the remote is

pressed. All weaker stations will be
muted, if tuned manually, do NOT
open the volume too much in this
case.

When the button is pressed until the
letters

RDS

appear in the lower left

corner of the

Information Display

the tuner will automatically search
stations transmitting RDS data only.

Press the button until the

RDS

and

AUTO

lights go out to step tune

through each frequency increment
and to tune all stations without any
muting. This also compensates for
weak stereo signals by changing the
reception to mono (see pages
17/18).

Display:

When the FM tuner is

in use, press this button to select
the type of RDS information to be
displayed or to turn the display off
(see page 19), or hold it in to dim the
front panel display (see page 16).
For all other inputs, pressing this
button once will dim the front panel
display to half brightness. Pressing it
again will turn the display off. Press
the display button or any other button
to return the display to full brightness.

Scan Button:

Press this

button to scan the stations entered
in the unit’s memory. When the
desired station is reached, press
the button again to stop the scan
(see page 17).

RDS Seek:

Press this button to

only seek RDS stations of a specific
“PTY” or programme type. Each
press of the button will cycle through
the list of PTY types, but beginning
with

ANY STN

searched) and

RDS ONLY

(only

RDS stations with any PTY will be
seeked, see page 19).
