11. DELAY

Selects the amount of delay applied to the surround

speakers when the AV 713 is used in DOLBY PRO-
LOGIC or HALL modes.

Pressing the DELAY button steps the Delay times

in 5mS steps from 5mS to 30mS for Hall mode and
from 15mS to 30mS for Dolby Pro-Logic mode.
Separate delay times can be stored for DOLBY PRO-
LOGIC and HALL modes and are held in the AV
713’s memory. They are automatically recalled each
time the DOLBY PRO-LOGIC or HALL mode is
selected. This function can be altered only when the
AV 713 is in DOLBY PRO-LOGIC or HALL Mode.
(see: SETTING UP THE SURROUND SYSTEM)

12. CDR

The AV 713 features the CONTROLLED DYNAMIC

RANGE (CDR) circuit, which is used for listening at
lower levels. This is a sophisticated dynamics con-
troller that selectively raises the level of the quieter
parts of the soundtrack, whilst leaving the louder
parts unaltered.

Using CDR at lower listening levels (e.g. late at

night), the apparent dynamics of the soundtrack can
be maintained, without the dialogue becoming too
quiet to hear clearly.

The button indicator illuminates when CDR is

active. 

TUNER.

8. AM  and FM INPUT

Press the AM or FM button to switch the AV 713 to

the required tuner operation. The Display Panel
shows the frequency of the tuned station and which
Preset and Preset bank (if any) is selected.

13. TUNE 

Ò Ú

For tuning to the required station and to select Preset
stations.  There are two tuning modes: Manual and
Search. Pressing the button repeatedly  increases or
decreases the tuning frequency in 50kHz steps in FM
and 10kHz (or 9kHz for Europe) steps in AM. 

Search. Holding the button down for more than 1/2

second puts the tuner section into Search mode. It
will search through the tuning frequencies and stop
when it finds a broadcast station. When a station is
captured, the TUNED indicator will show in the
Display Panel. Search functions for FM only. 

14. PRESET 

Press PRESET to recall or program a Preset radio

station. The 30 Presets can be AM or FM stations
and are stored in three Preset Banks, which can con-
tain up to 10 Preset stations. The Preset number is
shown in the Display Panel.

15. BANK

Press BANK to switch between the three banks (A,

B or C) of tuner presets. For convenience you could
use two Banks for FM stations and one Bank for AM,
although a mix of FM and AM stations can be stored

in any single Bank of presets. The selected Bank is
shown in the Display Panel.

16. MEMORY

Used for storing new Preset stations.

17. FM MUTE/MODE

Switches the FM tuner section between Mute

On/Stereo and Mute Off/Mono operation. In normal
(FM MUTE ON) operation,during the tuning process
the tuner will mute when there is little or no signal
present, giving silence until a station with a reason-
ably strong signal is found.  Pressing FM
MUTE/MODE will switch off the mute function so that
very weak stations can be located. FM MUTE OFF
also switches off the FM stereo function.

When a stereo FM signal is being received, your

AV 713 will automatically switch to Stereo FM opera-
tion, which will be shown by STEREO indicator in the
Display Panel. Weak stereo signals may have a high
level of background hiss. Switching the AV 713 to FM
MUTE OFF will switch the tuner to mono and cancel
the background noise. 

The status of the FM MUTE function is shown in

the Display Panel.

FINDING AND STORING AM & FM
STATIONS 

You can use the Manual tune to select a known

station’s frequency or Search mode to automatically
look for stations that are transmitting in your area,
and then use the MEMORY button to store them into
the AV 713’s memory.

First select the AM or the FM band using the AM or

FM Input buttons. Press TUNE Ò Ú  buttons for 1/2
second to start the tuner searching through the fre-
quency band. When the tuner finds a broadcast sig-
nal of adequate strength, the automatic search stops
at that station. To store that station as a Preset, press
the MEMORY button. The MEMORY and PRESET
indicator and preset number lights flash for 8 seconds
or whilst you are entering Preset information. 

Press the BANK button to select which Bank of

Presets you wish to store the station. Press the
TUNE ÒÚ buttons to select which Preset number you
wish to assign to the station. The current Preset num-
ber is shown in the Display Panel. 

Press the MEMORY button again to store the sta-

tion’s frequency as the chosen Preset. The AV 713
will then revert to normal operation.

The Preset information will be held in the AV 713’s

memory until you actively clear the Preset.

RECALLING PRESET STATIONS.

To recall any of the Preset stations press the PRE-

SET button. The Preset Indicator will light and the
most recently used tuner Preset will be recalled. To
select another Preset station, first select the Bank
that the station is stored in by pressing the BANK but-
ton. Then press TUNE Ö Ú to page through the avail-
able settings until the required Preset number is
