to transfer the codes from your TV’s remote to the 2.0

remote. Remember that in the factory default con-

figuration, the 

TV Volume 

buttons 

q

operate only

when the 

TV Source 

button 

g

has been pressed. To

program the codes for use when other inputs are active,

follow the instruction on page 17.

Note that the front panel volume control is electronic,

unlike the traditional mechanical potentiometer volume

controls on most conventional audio equipment.

Electronic volume controls require more than one

rotation to go from complete silence to maximum

volume level, and there is no fixed start or stop point. 

As the volume control is changed a visual indicator will

appear on screen (Figure OSD-13) to provide a visual

reference of the volume level. Volume changes will also

be shown on the front panel display (Figure FPD-8).

During a listening session it may occasionally be

necessary to quickly lower the volume to answer the

phone or for some other reason. This is easily done by

pressing the

on either the front

panel or remote. When either Mute button is pressed the

output to all speakers will be interrupted, although the

signal to the record outputs will remain active.

When the Mute function is engaged a message will

appear in both the On-Screen Display (Figure OSD-15)

and in the front panel
