Tips and Tricks
Dimming the Front Panel
Ambient light control is important to the total home theater experience. With that in
mind, the AV7005 offers a way to turn off the front panel display. The DISPLAY button
(available on both the remote control and the front panel) toggles between three
options. The first will cause the front panel to display current volume level in place of the
surround processing mode. Pressing DISPLAY a second time will select “Auto Display”
mode, in which the front panel display will only turn on when a change occurs (volume,
input, surround mode, etc.). Pressing DISPLAY a third time will select “Display Off”
mode, in which the front panel display is disabled entirely. Pressing DISPLAY a fourth
time will return the front panel display to normal. You can also enable or disable lighting
around the main display by holding down the front panel DISPLAY button for three
seconds.
Keep A Record of Your Settings
This guide includes a handy way to record some input-related settings: the Connection
Summary Sheet. Obviously, that only helps with some of the settings required to get the
AV7005 configured in the event of a system reset. The Quick Setup Guide and
Roadmap to the Setup Menus combine to mention every menu available on the
AV7005, however, and a few notes in those two sections – even just some settings
circled and a few numbers jotted in the margins – could serve as a convenient record
for future reference.
Resetting the AV7005
To reset the AV7005, turn the unit on and go to the front panel. Hold down the SURR.
MODE and CLEAR buttons for three seconds. This will erase all user settings and radio
station presets, returning the unit to its default state. For this reason, we suggest that
you use the Connection Summary Sheet and Listening Modes Menu reference sheet to
record your settings before a reset. You will also need to re-run the Audyssey
MultEQ XT system and restore tuner memories after a reset.
Locking the Front Panel
Some owners may wish to disable the front panel controls. This can be a useful feature
in households where small children can reach the equipment and make undesirable
changes (turning the unit off, turning the volume up). There are two options. The first is
to disable all front panel controls, which is done by placing the unit in standby mode and
then pressing “ON/STANDBY” while pressing and holding the “AUTO” and “DISPLAY”
buttons. The second option is to disable all front panel controls except the volume
control knob, which is done by placing the unit in standby mode and then pressing
“ON/STANDBY” while pressing and holding the “PURE DIRECT” and “DISPLAY”
buttons. To cancel any panel lock functions, place the unit in standby mode and then
press “ON/STANDBY” while pressing and holding the “
▼
” and “DISPLAY” buttons.
