OPERATION

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and configu-

ration of the AVR 7300, it is simple to operate and

enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize

the enjoyment of your new receiver:

Turning the AVR 7300 On or Off

• When using the AVR 7300 for the first time, you must

press the Main Power Button to turn the unit

on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indi-

cated by the lighting surrounding Standby/On Button

turning amber. Once the unit is in Standby, you

may begin a listening session by pressing the

Standby/On Button

on the front panel, or the

Power On Button b or AVR Selector e

∫

on the remote. This will turn the unit on and return the

DPR to the input source that was last used. The unit

may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any

of the Input Selector Buttons dXi

∂

on the remote or the Input Source Selector

Button

on the front panel.

Whenever the AVR is turned on, you will see all of the

front-panel indicators light up for a few seconds. This is

normal, and it is part of the unit’s power-on self test.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector

Buttons dXi

ç∂

to turn the unit on,

press the AVR Selector e

∫

to set the remote

control to the AVR 7300 functions.

To turn the unit off, simply press the Standby/On

Botton 1 on the front panel or the Power Off

Button a

on the remote. Power will be shut

off to any equipment plugged into the rear-panel

Switched AC Accessory Outlets R and the lighting

surrounding Standby/On Button 1 will turn amber.

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 lighting of the Standby/On

Indicator 1.

• To program the AVR 7300 for automatic turn-off,

press the Sleep Button S on the remote. Each

press of the button will decrease the time before

shut-down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower

Display Line $ and it will count down until the

time has elapsed.

The front-panel display will dim to half brightness

when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the

Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep ButtonS

until the information display returns to normal bright-

ness; and the words SLEEP OFF will appear in

the Lower Display Line $

. When the programmed

sleep time has elapsed, the unit will turn off.

When you will be away from home for an extended

period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit

off with the front-panel Main Power Switch .

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left

turned off by using the Main Power Switch for

more than four weeks.

Source Selection

• To select a source, press any of the Input Selector

Buttons dXi

ç∂

on the remote.

• The input source may also be changed by pressing

the front-panel Input Source Selector Button 7.

Each press of the button will move the input selec-

tion through the list of available inputs.

•

When a new input is selected, the AVR will auto-

mati

cally switch to the audio and video configura-

tions that were in effect the last time that input

was used. If the BASS MGR line on the

SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7) was

set to INDEPENDENT, as described on

page 27, the settings

for speaker size will also

change to the preset values.

• The front-panel Video 5 Inputs , Optical

Digital 4 Input or the Coaxial Digital 4 Input

may be used to connect a device such as a

video game or camcorder to your home entertain-

ment 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 Upper Display Line # and

in the front-panel Input Indicators !.

• When an audio source is selected, the last video

input used remains routed to the Video 1/Video 2

Video Outputs MU and Video Monitor Outputs

J. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening

to different sources.

NOTE: While switching sources you will see the video

signal occasionally switch to black for a second or two

and hear a slight clicking noise. Both of these are nor-

mal and do not indicate any problem with either the

AVR 7300 or your video display. When your screen

goes black you are seeing the video equivalent of an

audio mute, which is put into place by the video pro-

cessing system while the individual parameters for

each input are retrieved from the memory and applied

to the system. The clicking noise is due to the use of

relays in the component video switcher to assure max-

imum video quality and to reduce the possibility of

video crosstalk.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

• There are four input choices available for use with

sources such as a DVD-Audio or SACD player

that are connected to the 8-Channel Direct

Inputs . Select the appropriate input for your

system and source equipment:

■ The 6 CH DIRECT input should be used

when the SBR and SBL inputs are NOT in use

and the source device has its own internal bass

management system. This input passes the input

from the source directly through to the volume

control without any analog to digital conversion

and it mutes the unused input jacks to prevent

unwanted noise from interfering with system per-

formance.

■ The 6 CH DVD AUDIO input should be

used when the SBR and SBL inputs are NOT

in use and the source device does NOT have its

own internal bass-management system. When

this input is in use, the analog source is converted

to digital so that you may use the same bass-

management options for the direct input as you

do with all other outputs. This input also mutes

the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise

from interfering with system performance.

■ The 8 CH DIRECT input should be

used when an input is connected to all eight

8-Channel Direct Inputs and when the

source device has its own internal bass manage-

ment system. This input passes the input from

the source directly through to the volume control

without any analog to digital conversion and it

mutes the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted

noise from interfering with system performance.

■ The 8 CH DVD AUDIO input should

be used when an input is connected to all eight

8-Channel Direct Inputs and the source

device does NOT have its own internal bass man-

agement system. When this input is in use, the

analog source is converted to digital so that you

may use the same Quadruple Crossover bass-

management options for the direct input as you

do with all other outputs. This input also mutes

the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise

from interfering with system performance.
