Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 7200 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. [. . . ] In addition, when a button is pressed, the function being transmitted will also appear in the bottom line of the remote's LCD display. · In order to send a command to the AVR 7200, the AVR Selector e must be pressed. To send a command to another device, first press the Input Selector d for that device. · The remote will automatically return to the controls for the AVR 7200 within five seconds after the button for another device is pressed. · The factory default setting for the remote is to have the Volume Up/Down r and Mute 32 buttons operate the AVR 7200, regardless of which device (such as a DVD or another video source) is in use. · The factory setting for the remote is to have the Transport Forward/Reverse Play Buttons G, Transport Fast Play/Scan Forward/Reverse Buttons I, Main Transport Controls J and Track Skip Up/Down Buttons K operate the DVD player, regardless of which device (including the AVR) is in use. This simplifies operation, as in normal use you will use the AVR controls, and this means that you do not have to press the DVD button to control a player. You may change the "punch-through" setting which allows the buttons for Volume, Transport Control or Channel Up/Down to be assigned into another device by following the instructions on pages 42 ­ 43. · The remote has a built-in backlight that may be activated by pressing the Light Button P. This button is made from a special "glow" material so that it is easier to find in dark rooms. This glow Source Selection · To select a source, press any of the remote Input Selector Buttons dfç. · 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 selection through the list of available inputs. · As the input is changed, the AVR 7200 will automatically 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 Ó, Optical Digital 3 Input & or the Coaxial Digital 3 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 Main Information Display ~ and a green LED will light next to the selected input's name in the front-panel Input Indicators ^. · The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower Display Line B and it will count down until the time has elapsed. · When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn 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 ButtonS until the information display returns to normal brightness; the Sleep indicator numbers will disappear and the OPERATION 27 OPERATION · When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1/Video 2 Outputs ¢/ and Video Monitor Outputs d. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources. · When a composite or S-Video source is selected, the video signal for that input will be routed to the Video Monitor Output d and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 7200. [. . . ] We strongly recommend replacing the batteries as soon as this message appears to avoid the loss of programming and configuration settings. These settings are not lost when the batteries are changed quickly.
