Advanced Features

The AVR is equipped with a number of advanced
features that add extra flexibility to the unit's

features to operate the unit, they provide addi-
tional options that you may wish to use.

will use the

Front-Panel-Display Fade
In normal operation, the front-panel displays and
indicators remain on at full brightness, although
you may also dim them or turn them off as
shown on page 51. As an additional option, you
may also set the AVR so that the displays are on
whenever a button is pressed on the front panel
or remote, but then fade out after a set period of
time.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to

Turn On Volume Level
As is the case with most audio/video receivers,
when the AVR is turned on, it will always return
to the volume setting in effect when the unit was
turned off. However, you may prefer to always
have the AVR turn on at a specific setting,
regardless of what was last in use when the unit
was turned off. To change the default condition
so that the same volume level is always used at
turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in
