The sleep time will be displayed in the AVR’s Lower Display
Line
while Sleep Time is being set.
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 Button until the information
display returns to normal brightness, and the words
SLEEP
OFF
appear in the AVR’s 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 Button .
NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off
by using the
Main Power Button for more than four weeks.
Source Selection
I To select a source, press any of the Input Selector Buttons
3
on the remote.
I The input source may also be changed by pressing the
AVR’s front-panel
Input Source Selector Button E. Each
press of the button will move the input selection through
the list of available inputs.
I When a new input is selected, the AVR will automatically
switch to the audio and video configurations, as set in
Source Setup.
I The front-panel
Game/Cam Inputs IJLM, Optical
Digital 3 Input C
or the Coaxial Digital 3 Input F may
be used to connect a device such as a video game or
camcorder to your home entertainment system on a
temporary basis.
I 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 AVR’s
Upper Display Line .
I When an audio source is selected, the associated video
inputs are routed to the
Composite , S-Video
and Component Monitor Video Outputs
. If the HDMI Output is selected in setup,
the
Component Video Monitor Outputs will be shut off.
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 normal and do not
indicate any problem with either the AVR21EN 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 processing 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 ensure maximum video
quality and to reduce the possibility of video crosstalk.
Main Room Operation
Basic Operation
Once you have completed the initial setup and configuration
of the AVR21EN, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The
following instructions will help you maximize the enjoyment
of your new receiver:
Turning the AVR21EN On or Off
When using the AVR21EN 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 indicated by the LED in the
Standby/On Button 1 turning red. Once the unit is in Standby,
you may begin a listening session by pressing the
Standby/On
Button 1
on the front panel, or the remote Power On Button
1
. This will turn the unit on and return the AVR to the input
that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from
Standby by pressing any of the
Input Selector Buttons 3
on the remote or the Input Source Selector Button E
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. The
LED in
Standby/On Button 1 will turn green.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector Buttons 3 E
to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector 4 to set the
remote control to the AVR21EN functions.
To turn the unit off, simply press the
Standby/On Button 1
on the front panel or the Power Off Button 0 on the remote.
Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the
rear-panel
Switched AC Accessory Outlet , equipment
managed with the Source Power Flags (SPF) or that have
separate On/Off IR power commands. The LED in
Standby/On
Button 1
will turn red. NOTE: If any of the multiroom zones
is active, the Main Room activities will shut down, but the
AVR will remain active with the message
MULTI-ROOM ON in
the AVR’s
Lower Display Line , to indicate system activity.
When the remote is used to turn the unit “off,” it is actually
placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the red
LED in the
Standby/On Button 1.
Main Room Sleep Mode
To program the AVR21EN for automatic turn-off, first press
the
AVR Button 4 on the remote, then press the Sleep
Button
. Each press of the button will decrease the time
before shut-down in the following sequence:
