Basic Operation

Once you have completed the setup and configu-
ration of the AVR 4500, it is simple to operate
and enjoy. The following instructions should be
followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of
your new receiver:

Turning the AVR4500 On or Off

• When using the AVR4500 for the first time, you
must press the

Main Power Switch

on the

front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit
in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color
of the

Power Indicator

. Once the unit is in

Standby, you may begin a listening session by
pressing the

System Power Control

or the

Source

button

on the front panel or the

AVR

Selector

∫

. Note that the

Power

Indicator

will turn green. This will turn the

unit on and return it to the input source that was
last used. The unit may also be turned on from
Standby by pressing any of the

Source Selector

buttons on the remote

4567

∫

ç∂

or the

Source

button

on the front

panel.

NOTE:

After pressing one of the

Input Selector

buttons

∂

(except VID4) to turn the unit on,

press the

AVR Selector

∫

to have the

remote control the AVR functions.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses-
sion, simply press the

System Power Control

on the front panel or the

Power Off Button

on the remote. Power will be shut off to

any equipment plugged into the rear panel

Switched AC Outlets

and the

Power

Indicator

will turn orange.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it
is actually placing the system in a Standby mode,
as indicated by the orange color of the

Power

Indicator

When you will be away from home for an
extended period of time it is always a good idea
to completely turn the unit off with the front
panel

Main Power Switch

NOTE:

All preset memories may be lost if the

unit is left turned off with the

Main Power

Switch

for more than two weeks.

Using the Sleep Timer

• To program the AVR 4500 for automatic turn-
off, press the

Sleep Button

on the remote.

Each press of the button will increase the time
before shut down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the

Preset

Number/Sleep Timer Indicator

and it will

count down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed,
the unit will automatically turn off (to Standby
mode). Note that the front panel display will dim
to one half brightness when the Sleep function is
programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press
and hold the

Sleep Button

until the infor-

mation display returns to normal brightness and
the Sleep indicator numbers disappear and the
words

S L E E P O F F

appear in the

Main

Information Display

Source Selection

• To select a source, press any of the

Source

Selector

buttons on the remote

ç∂

NOTE:

After pressing one of the

Input Selector

buttons

∂

to turn the unit on, press the

AVR

Selector

∫

to have the remote control the

AVR functions.

• The input source may also be changed by
pressing the front-panel

Input Source Selector

button

. Each press of the button will move

the input selection through the list of available
inputs.

• As the input is changed, the AVR 4500 will
automatically switch to the digital input (if
selected), surround mode and speaker configura-
tion that were entered during the configuration
process for that source.

• The front-panel

Video 4 Inputs

may be

used to connect a device such as a video game
or camcorder to your home entertainment system
on a temporary basis.

• As the input source is changed, the new input
name will appear momentarily as an on-screen
display in the lower third of the video display. The
input name will also appear in the

Main

Information Display

and a green LED will

light next to the selected input’s name in the
front-panel

Input Indicators

• When a pure audio input (CD, Tuner, Tape, 6/8
Channel Input) is selected, the last video input
used remains routed to the

Video Outputs

(except from its own Video 1/ source) and

Video Monitor Output

. This permits simul-

taneous viewing and listening to different
sources.

• When a Video source is selected, its audio sig-
nal will be fed to the speakers and the video sig-
nal for that input will be routed to the appropriate

Monitor Output Jack

and will be viewable

on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 4500. If a
component video source is connected to the

DVD

Video 2

Component Inputs

, it will be

routed to the

Component Video Outputs

Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input
to view the appropriate video signal (composite,
S-Video or component video, see Notes for S-
Video on page 16).

Controls and Use of Headphones

• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using
the front panel

Volume Control

or remote

Volume Up/Down

(

buttons.

• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs press
the

Mute

button

. This will interrupt the

output to all speakers and the headphone jack,
but it will not affect any recording or dubbing
that may be in progress. When the system is
muted, the
