System Remote Control Functions, continued
In addition to controlling the AVR, the AVR remote is capable of controlling eight
other devices, including an iPod/iPhone device connected to the AVR’s front-
panel USB port. During the installation process, you may program the codes for
each of your source components into the remote. (See Program the Remote to
Control Your Source Devices and TV, on page 20, for programming information.)
To operate a component, press its Source Selector button to change the remote’s
control mode.
A button’s function depends on which component is being controlled. See Table
A13 in the Appendix for listings of the functions for each type of component. Most
of the buttons on the remote have dedicated functions, although the precise codes
transmitted vary depending on the specic device being controlled. Due to the wide
variety of functions for various source devices, we have included only a few of
the most-often used functions on the remote: number buttons, transport controls,
television-channel control, menu access and power on and off. Buttons dedicated
to the AVR – AVR Power On/Off, Surround Modes, Volume, Mute, Delay and Sleep
Settings – are available at any time, even when the remote is controlling another
device.
Power On/Power Off buttons: Press these buttons to turn the AVR on and put it
into Sleep or turn it off. See Power Indicator/Power Button, on page 5, for more
information.
IR Transmitter: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted
through this lens.
Mute button: Press this button to mute the AVR’s speaker-output connectors and
headphone jack. To restore the sound, press this button or adjust the volume.
Source Selector buttons: Press one of these buttons to select a source device, e.g.,
Disc, Cable/Sat, Radio, etc. This action will also turn on the AVR and switch the
remote’s control mode to operate the selected source device.
• The rst press of the Radio button switches the AVR to the last-used tuner band
(AM or FM). Each successive press changes the band.
• The rst press of the USB button switches the AVR to the last-used source
(USB or iPod). Each successive press cycles between the two sources.
• The rst press of the Network button switches the AVR to the last-used source
(Network or vTuner). Each successive press cycles between the two sources.
AVR button: Press to put the remote into the AVR control mode.
Surround Modes button: Press this button to access the Surround Modes submenu.
Select a surround-mode category: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie,
Music or Game. When you select the category, it is highlighted and the surround
mode changes.
To change the surround mode for the selected category navigate to the Surround
Mode menu in the AVR’s on-screen display menu, select the desired category, and
use the Left/Right buttons to select one of the available surround modes. See the
Advanced Functions section, on page 30, for more information.
OSD/Menu button: When the remote is controlling the AVR, press this button to
display the AVR’s on-screen display (OSD) menu. This button is also used within
the tuner menus and an iPod connected to the AVR’s front-panel USB port, and is
also used to display the main menu on some source devices.
OK button: This button is used to select items from the menu system. It is also used
to toggle between the Manual and Automatic tuning modes for FM or AM radio. To
toggle between these options, press and hold this button for more than 3 seconds.
Up/Down/Left/Right buttons: These buttons are used to navigate the menu system
and to operate the tuner.
Back/Exit button: Press this button to return to the previous menu or to exit the
menu system.
Info/Option button: Press to display the available option settings for the current
source.
Number buttons: Use these buttons to enter numbers for radio-station frequencies
or to select station presets.
Clear button: Press this button to clear a radio station frequency you have started
to enter.
Test Tone button: Press this button to activate test noise that will circulate through
each speaker, allowing you to adjust the individual speaker levels. Use the Up/Down
buttons to switch the noise to a different speaker and use the Left/Right buttons to
change the volume of the speaker the noise is playing through.
Delay Adjust button: Pressing this button lets you adjust two different types of delay
settings (use the Up/Down buttons to cycle through the settings):
• Lip Sync: This setting lets you resynchronize the audio and video signals from
a source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip-sync issues can occur when the
video portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source
device or the video display. Use the Left/Right buttons to delay the audio by
up to 180ms.
• Distance: These settings let you set the delay for each speaker to compensate
for the different distances they may be from the listening position. Use the Up/
Down buttons to cycle through each of the system’s speakers, and use the Left/
Right buttons to set the distance each speaker is from the listening position.
See Congure the AVR for Your Speakers, on page 23, for more information.
Sleep button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, which turns off the
receiver after a programmed period of time. Each press decreases the time by 10
minutes, down from 90 minutes – ending with the “Sleep Off” message.
Volume Up/Down buttons: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume.
Channel/Tuner buttons: When radio has been selected, press these buttons to
select a preset radio station. While operating a cable, satellite or HDTV set-top box
or a television, press these buttons to change channels.
Tone button: Pressing this button lets you adjust the Tone settings for the current
source. Use the Left/Right buttons to switch between On and Off, or to adjust the
Bass or Treble from -10dB to +10dB. See Set Up Your Sources, on page 24, for
more information.
Display Dimmer button: Press this button to dim the AVR’s front-panel display
partially or fully.
Preset Scan button: When Radio is the selected source, press this button to play
each of your preset radio stations in order for ve seconds. Pressing the button
again to remain tuned to the current station.
Direct button: Press this button to directly tune to a radio station by using the
Number buttons to enter its frequency.
Memory button: Press this button to save the current radio station as a preset.
RDS button: When listening to an FM radio station that broadcasts RDS information,
this button activates the various RDS functions.
Transport Control buttons: These buttons are used to control source devices.
Previous Channel button: In AVR control mode, this button lets you adjust the output
levels for each speaker individually. Use the Up/Down buttons to cycle through
each speaker, and use the Left/Right buttons to set the level of that speaker. See
Congure the AVR for Your Speakers, on page 23, for more information. When TV
is the selected source, press this button to switch to the previously-tuned channel.
