Operation
Once you have completed the setup and
installation of your new receiver, it is
simple to operate and enjoy. The follow-
ing instructions will provide the steps
needed to enjoy the advanced features of
the AVR40
When using the AVR40 for the first
time, it is necessary to 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 System Power
Indicator

surrounding the power
switch. Once the unit is in the standby
mode, you may begin a listening session
by pressing the System Power
Control

on the front panel or the
Power button

will turn green. This will turn the unit on

buttons on the remote

When the remote is used to turn the unit
“off” it is actually placing the system in
a standby mode, as indicated by the
amber color of the power switch ring.

During a listening session you may
wish to adjust the Bass

controls to suit your listening tastes.
At lower volume levels you may wish
to engage the Contour button
Û
. This
boosts the low- and high-frequency
sounds in accordance with what are
known as the Fletcher-Munson hearing
curves to compensate for the response of
human hearing at low sound levels.
Adjust the volume to a comfortable
level using the front panel Volume

buttons .
When both a center channel speaker
and the Pro Logic mode are in use, press-
ing the Ctr. Boost button
Ò
will
increase the level to the center channel
speaker for improved dialogue
intelligibility. If the soundtrack of a
movie or broadcast seems to have a
music track that overwhelms the
dialogue, the Center Boost circuit may
compensate for the problem.
To temporarily silence the speaker out-
put press the Mute button
m
. This will
cut the output to the main speakers, but
it will not effect any recording or dub-
bing that may be in progress. When the
system is muted the word MUTE will
flash in the information display, and the
Mute/Volume Indicator
ı
will flash
to remind you that the system is muted.
Press the Mute button
m
again to
return to normal operation.
For private listening, plug the

stereo phone plug from a pair of stereo
headphones into the front panel
Headphone jack

to the front left/right speakers when
using the headphones press the
Speaker button
5
on the front panel
so that the button is in the extended
position.
When one of the Video inputs
!d
is selected the video signal for that input
will be routed to the Monitor output
jacks and will be viewable on a TV moni-
tor connected to the AVR40. Make certain
that your TV is set to the proper “VIDEO”
input to view the signal.
In some installations it may be desir-
able to dim or extinguish the front panel
lights. This may be done by pressing the
Display button
k
on the remote. The
first press will dim the lights to one half
normal brightness, and a second press
will turn them totally off. Press the but-
ton again to return the lights to normal
brightness. Note that the Power
Indicator and Mute/Volume
Indicator will remain lit at all times as
a reminder that the unit is turned on.
To program the AVR40 for automatic
turn off, press the Sleep button

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

one half brightness when the Sleep func-
tion is programmed. To cancel the Sleep
