INTRODUCTION TO THE AVIDEA CONTROL CENTER
The Avidea Control Center is the heart of your system. It contains a DVD/CD player, AM/FM
Tuner, video/audio inputs and outputs plus all the circuitry needed to control your entire home
entertainment system. The Control Center can be operated directly by use of the controls on
the unit or with the supplied Avidea Remote Control.
On the front of the Control Center is the disc player slot and the disc eject button. The system
display area is surrounded by six small, blue speaker indicator lights that show how many
speakers are playing.

Typically, the display shows the current Device, the play mode, current track/chapter/preset,
and elapsed time or Tuner setting. The specific information displayed differs for each Device.
The display also indicates, if Zone 2, Night, or Sleep modes are active. (See ‘Zone 2 Installation
and Operation’ on page 55 and ‘Sleep Mode’ on page 37 for more information on these opera-
tions.)

If you are changing the Device, volume, or other state of the Device, via either the Control
Center controls or Remote Control, that information is also briefly displayed in a larger size.

Bar. (See ‘Use of the On-Screen Displays (OSD)’ on page 38.)
Display Brightness
When a button is pressed on the Control Center or a command is sent to the Control Center
from the Remote Control, the display brightens to maximum brightness. The display remains
bright for five seconds after the last button is released.
The Avidea Speaker Indicator Lights
Surrounding the display area are six small blue lights, representing the position of each speaker
in the room. The lights that are on correspond to those speakers that are playing.
