The following controls and jacks are located behind the front-panel door. To open the door, place the edge of a finger on the left or right edge of the panel and gently swing the
door down towards you.
A Main Power Switch: Press this switch to apply
power to the AVR 435. When the switch is pressed
in, the unit is placed in a Standby mode, as indicated
by the amber illumination surrounding the Standby/On
Switch 1. This button MUST be pressed in to
operate the unit. To turn the unit off and prevent the
use of the remote control, this switch should be
pressed until it pops out from the front panel so that
the word "OFF" may be read at the top of the switch.
NOTE: This switch is normally left in the "ON" position.
B Headphone Jack: This jack may be used to lis-
ten to the AVR 435's output through a pair of head-
phones. Be certain that the headphones have a stan-
dard 1/4" stereo phone plug, or that you use an
adaptor, as needed, to convert the plug on your head-
phones to the 1/4" jack used on the AVR. When the
headphone jack is in use, the main room speakers will
automatically be turned off and the unit will output a
standard stereo signal. You may also use one of the
Dolby Headphone modes for an enhanced listening
experience. For more information on headphone lis-
tening, see page 33.
C Tone Mode Button: This button controls the tone
mode settings, enabling adjustment of the bass and
treble boost/cut. You may also use it to take the tone
controls out of the signal path completely for "flat"
response. The first press of the button displays a
TONE MODE message in the Lower Display
Line $ and in the on-screen display. To take the
controls out of the signal path, press either of the
‹/› Buttons H until the display reads TONE
OUT. To change the bass or treble settings, press
the button again until the desired option appears in the
Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display
and then press either of the ‹/› Buttons H to
enter the desired boost or cut setting. See page 32
for more information on the tone controls.
