6 Speaker Selector: Press this button to begin
the process of configuring the unit to match the type
of speakers used in your listening room. (See pages
28–30 for more information on speaker setup and
configuration.)
7 Surround Mode Group Selector: Press this but-
ton to select the top-level group of surround modes.
Each press of the button will select the current or last
used mode in each of the surround mode groups
(e.g., Dolby, DTS, DTS Neo:6, Logic 7, DSP, Stereo).
When the button is pressed so that the name of the
surround mode group appears in the on-screen dis-
play and in the Lower Display Line ı, press the
Surround Mode Selector 8 to cycle through the
individual modes available. For example, press this
button to select Dolby modes, and then press the
Surround Mode Selector 8 to choose from the
various Dolby mode options.
8 Surround Mode Selector: Press this button
to select from among the available surround mode
options for the mode group selected. The specific
modes will vary based on the number of speakers
available, the mode group and if the input source is
digital or analog. For example, press the Surround
Mode Group Selector 7 to select a main mode
grouping such as Dolby or Logic 7, and then press
this button to see the specific mode choices available.
Note that the digital surround modes, such as Dolby
Digital and DTS, may not be accessed unless that type
of source signal is present, such as when a DVD movie
or television signal programmed in Dolby Digital or DTS
surround sound is playing. For more information on sur-
round mode selection, see pages 25 and 35–41.
9 Tuning Selector: Press the left side of the button
to tune lower-frequency stations and the right side of
the button to tune higher-frequency stations. When the
tuner is in the Manual mode, each tap will increase or
decrease the frequency by one increment. When the
tuner receives a strong enough signal for adequate
reception, MANUAL TUNED will appear in the
on-screen display and the Lower Display Line
When the tuner is the Auto mode, press the button
once, and the tuner will scan for a station with accept-
able signal strength. When the next station with a
strong signal is tuned the scan will stop and the
on-screen display and Lower Display Line
will indicate AUTO TUNED. When an FM
Stereo station is tuned, the display will read
AUTO ST TUNED.
To switch back and forth between the Auto and
Manual tuning modes, press the Tuner Mode
Selector &.

* Optical 4 Digital Audio Input: Connect the optical
ı
digital audio output of an audio or video product to this
jack. When the input is not in use, the built-in shutter will
close to avoid dust contamination that might degrade
future performance.
( Coaxial 4 Digital Audio Input: This jack is used
for connection to the output of portable audio devices,
video game consoles or other products that have a
coax digital audio jack.
Ó Video 4 Video Input Jacks: These jacks may
be used for temporary connection to the composite or
S-video output of video games, camcorders or other
portable video products. You may make a connection
to either jack at any time, but not to both simultaneously.
Ô Video 4 Audio Input Jacks: These audio jacks
may be used for temporary connection to video
games or portable audio/video products such as
camcorders and portable audio players.
NOTE: The AVR 340 is shipped with two covers that
may be installed over the front-panel input jacks when
they are not in use.
Channel Adjust Selector: Press this button to
begin the process of trimming the channel output lev-
els using an external audio source. (For more informa-
tion on output level trim adjustment, see page 31.)
Ò Volume Control: Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease
the volume. If the AVR 340 is muted, adjusting the
Volume Control Ò © will automatically
release the unit from the silenced condition.
Ú Input Indicators: The current selected source
will appear as one of these indicators. When the unit
is turned on, the entire list of available modes will
light briefly, and then revert to normal operation with
only the active mode indicator illuminated.

you have retitled the source name, in which case that
name will appear. See page 22 for more information
on input titling.
Û Speaker/Channel Input Indicators: These indi-
cators are multipurpose, indicating both the speaker
type selected for each channel and the incoming data-
signal configuration. The left, center, right, side surround
and back surround speaker indicators are composed of
three boxes, while the subwoofer is a single box. The
center box lights when a "small" speaker is selected,
and the two outer boxes light when "large" speakers are
selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the center,
surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been
assigned that position. (See pages 28–29 for more
information on configuring speakers.)
NOTE: When you have reassigned the surround back
speakers to the remote zone using the MULTI
ROOM SETUP menu, the boxes that indicate the
presence of the surround back speakers will automati-
cally disappear, reflecting the fact that the main listen-
ing area is now configured for 5.1-channel operation.
