OPERATION
Basic Operation
Once you have completed the initial setup and configu-
ration of the
AVR 335, it is simple to operate and
enjoy
. The following instructions will help you maximize
the enjoyment of your new receiver:
Turning the AVR 335 On or Off
• When using the AVR 335 for the first time, you must
press the
Main Power Switch
1
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
Power
Indicator
2
. Once the unit is in Standby, you may
begin a listening session by pressing the
Standby/On
Switch
3
on the front panel, or the Power On
Button
d or AVR Selector f on the remote.
The
Power Indicator
2
will turn blue. This will turn
the unit on and return it 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
eg
ç∂
on the remote or the
Input Source Selector Button
^
on the front
panel.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
Buttons
eg to turn the unit on, press the AVR
Selector
f to set the remote control to the AVR 335
functions.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session,
simply press the
Standby/On Switch 3 on the
front panel or the
Power Off Button a
å
on
the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment
plugged into the rear-panel
Switched AC Accessory
Outlet
° and the Power Indicator 2 will turn
amber.
When the remote is used to turn the unit
“off” it is
actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indi-
cated by the amber color of the
Power Indicator 2.
•
T
o program the
A
VR 335 for automatic tur
n-off, press
the
Sleep Button j on the remote. Each press of
the button will decrease the time before shutdown in
the following sequence:
The sleep time will be displayed in the
Lo
wer
Display Line
¯ and it will count down until the
time has elapsed.
When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the
unit will automatically tur
n off
.
The front-panel display
will dim to one-half brightness when the Sleep function
is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function,
press
and hold the
Sleep Buttonj until the information
display returns to normal brightness; the Sleep
indicator numbers will disappear and the words
SLEEP OFF will appear in the Lower Display
Line
¯
.
When you will be away from home for an extended
period of time, it is always a good idea to completely
turn the unit off with the front-panel
Main Power
Switch
1
.
NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left
turned off by using the
Main Power Switch
1
for
more than four weeks.
Source Selection
• To select a source, press any of the Input
Selector
Buttons
eg
ç∂
on the remote.
• The input source may also be changed by pressing
the front-panel
Input Source Selector Button ^.
Each press of the button will move the input selec-
tion through the list of available inputs.
• As the input is changed, the AVR 335 will automati-
cally switch to the digital input (if selected), surround
mode, speaker configuration, output levels, crossover
frequency and night mode status that were entered
during the configuration process for that source.
• The front-panel
Video 4 Inputs ÓÔ, Optical 3
Digital Input
*
or the Coaxial 3 Digital Input
(
may be used to connect a device such as a video
game or camcorder to your home entertainment
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 ı.
•
When an audio source is selected,
the last video input
used remains routed to the
Video 1/
Video 2
Video
Outputs
hk and Video and S-Video
Monitor Outputs
c . This permits simultaneous
viewing and listening to different sources. This also
allows you to choose a video source and then
select the
6/8-Channel Direct Inputs j as the
audio source.
• When a composite or S-video source is selected, the
video signal for that input will be routed to the
S-Video
Monitor Output
c
and will be viewable on a TV
monitor connected to the AVR 335.
6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input
•
There are two input choices available for use with
sources such as a DVD-Audio or SACD player that
are connected to the
6/8-Channel Direct Inputs
j. Select the appropriate input according to how
your system and source equipment are configured:
n 6
CH
DIRECT
should be used when the
SBR and SBL inputs
j are NOT in use. The AVR
presumes that the input source device has its
own inter
nal 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 performance.
n 8 CH DIRECT should be used when an
input is connected to all eight
8-Channel Direct
Inputs
j. The AVR operates on the assumption
that the input source device has its own internal
bass management system. This input passes the
input from the source directly through to the vol-
ume control without any analog-to-digital conver-
sion and it mutes the unused input jacks to pre-
vent unwanted noise from interfering with system
performance.
Volume Control
• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the
front-panel
Volume Control Ù or remote Volume
Up/Down Buttons
.
• When listening in one of the Stereo modes with the
surround circuits off, the
Balance Control Ò may
be used to adjust the relative sound output between
the front left and right speakers. For all other modes,
it is important that the
Balance Control Ò remain
in the “12 o’clock” position in order to ensure a
proper sound field presentation.
• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs, press the
Mute Button K . This will interrupt the output
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 Lower Display Line ¯.
Press the
Mute Button K again to return to
normal operation.
• You may adjust the bass and treble tone controls at
any point during a listening session by simply turn-
ing the
Bass Control or T
reble Control
Ú
until the desired setting is achieved.
Y
ou may also
totally remove the tone controls from the circuit so
that the output is “flat” by pressing the
Tone Mode
Button
5 and then pressing the ‹/› Button )
so that TONE OFF appears in the on-screen
display and the
Lower Display Line ¯.
• For private listening, plug the 1/4" stereo phone
plug from a pair of stereo headphones into the
front-panel
Headphone
Jack
4
.
When the
headphone plug is connected, all speakers will be
silenced and
DOLBY H:BP will scroll once
across the
Lower Display Line ¯ , indicating that
the headphone output is in the Bypass mode, and
