Up/Down Buttons

• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs, press the

Mute Button

. This will interrupt the out-

put 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 word

MUTE

will flash in the on-screen display and

Upper Display Line

, press the

Mute Buttons

again to return to normal operation.

• The unit’s tone controls may be taken out of the

signal path by pressing the

Tone Mode Button

the front panel

or the remote

. The first

press of either button will show a message in the
on-screen display and

Lower Display Line

with the current status of the tone controls. The sys-
tem default is

TONE IN

, which indicates that

the bass and treble controls are active. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

on the remote or

the

‹

›

Button

on the front panel to

change the setting to

TONE OUT

, which is “flat”

response without the tone controls being active.

• When the tone controls are active, the bass and tre-

ble boost/cut may be adjusted by first pressing the

Tone Mode Button

on the front panel

or the

remote

until the desired setting (

BASS

MODE

TREBLE MODE

) appears in the

on-screen display and the

Lower Display Line

. Next, use the

⁄

Navigation Button

on the remote or the

‹

›

Button

on the

front panel to change the setting as desired. The
unit will return to normal operation within five sec-
onds after the setting is changed.

• For private listening, simply place a standard

1/4" stereo headphone plug or adaptor into the

Headphone Jack

behind the door

the front panel. The speakers will automatically mute
and the audio output will be sent to the head-
phones. The

Lower Display Line

will read

DOLBY H: BP

, indicating that the headphone

output is in the Bypass mode, and to confirm that
no processing is being used.

• When the headphones are in use, you may take

advantage of the Dolby Headphone modes to bring
added spaciousness to headphone listening. Press
the

Dolby Mode Select Button

or the

Surround Mode Selector

to cycle through the

three Dolby Headphone modes to select the one
that you prefer.

Video Processing

The AVR 7300 features unique combination of video
scaling and processing options that are available when
the unit is connected to a “digital ready” or HD capa-
ble display device. Thanks to DCDi by Faroudja tech-
nology and a series of video parameter settings that
may be set and stored individually for each video input
source, the AVR 7300 provides the ultimate in video,
as well as audio reproduction.

To take advantage of the video processing circuits with
your digital or HDTV compatible video display, simply
press the

Video Processing On/Off Button

the remote or the

Set/Video Button

behind the

door on the front panel, hold it for a second, and then
release it. This will turn on the processing circuits as
noted by the brief appearance of a message reading

FAROUDJA: ON

in the

Lower Display Line

and in the on-screen display. Press and hold the

button again to turn the processing off.

Once the processing is turned on, it will remain on
until it is turned off by pressing the

Video Processing

On/Off Button

on the remote or the

Set/Video

Button

on the front panel again and releasing

it so that you see a

FAROUDJA: OFF

message.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 7300
is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel sound field
from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded
programs and standard stereo programs.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal
taste, as well as the type of program source material
being used. For example, motion pictures or TV pro-
grams bearing the logo of one of the major surround-
encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS
Stereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital,
Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema,
DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround
modes, depending on the source material.

NOTE:

Once a program has been encoded with matrix

surround information, it retains the surround information
as long as the program is available in stereo. Thus,
movies with surround sound may be decoded via any
of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or
IIx Cinema, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema,
when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,
cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. Also, a growing
number of TV programs, sports broadcasts and radio
dramas are also recorded in surround sound.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional
surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic II,
Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or
Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround pre-

sentations through the use of the natural information
present in all stereo recordings.

Surround modes may be changed at any time by
using either the front panel or remote control. To
select a new surround mode from the front panel, first
press the

Surround Mode Group Selector Button

until the desired major surround mode group such

as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the

Surround Mode Selector Button

to choose the

specific individual surround mode.

To select a surround mode using the remote, press
the button for the surround mode group that includes
the mode you wish to choose:

Dolby

DTS

Digital

DTS Neo:6

Logic 7

Stereo

DSP Surround

. The first press of the

button will show the current mode from that group if it
is already in use, or the first available mode if you are
currently using another mode. To cycle through the
available modes in that group, press the button again
until the desired mode appears in the

Lower Display

Line

, the on-screen display and in the front-panel

Surround Mode Indicators

The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS 5.1, DTS-ES
Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be
selected when a digital input is in use. In addition,
when a digital source is present, the AVR 7300 will
automatically select and switch to the correct mode,
regardless of the mode that has been previously
selected. For more information on selecting digital
sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.

When the 6-Channel/8-Channel direct inputs are in
use, there is no surround processing, as these inputs
take the analog output signals from an optional, exter-
nal DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source
device, and carry them straight through to the volume
control.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel
stereo, using the front left and front right speakers
only (plus the subwoofer, if installed and configured),
press the

Stereo Mode Select Button

until

SURROUND OFF

appears in the

Lower Display

Line

. From the front panel, press the

Surround

Mode Group Selector

until the Stereo modes

appear in the on-screen display and

Lower Display

Line

. Next, press the

Surround Mode Selector

Button

until

SURROUND OFF

appears in

the on-screen display and

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over analog sur-
round processing systems. It delivers up to six discrete
channels, and each channel reproduces full frequency
range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved
