Backlight Options
The AVR 645's remote has a built-in backlight
system that makes it easier to use the remote
when the room lighting is dimmed for an optimal
home theater experience. To turn the back-
lighting on, simply press the Light Button
That button is made from a special "glow"
material that makes it easier to find in dark
rooms. This glow feature does not use any
battery power, so the glow will fade when the
remote is kept in a dark room for an extended
period of time. You may "recharge" it by placing
the remote in normal room lighting for a few
hours.
Once the Light Button
is pressed, the
remote's backlighting will remain on for approxi-
mately 7 seconds, and when you press any
button on the remote while the backlighting is
on, the light will stay on for another 7 seconds.
However, the remote's "Couch" function will
conserve battery power by turning both the back-
lighting and the LCD display off when any button
is pressed for more than 30 seconds.
You may also configure the remote so that the
backlighting will come on, any time a button is
pressed.
