FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS
1 Standby/On Button: When the Main Power
Switch 1 is pressed in so that it is in the "ON"
position, press this button to turn on the AVR 7300.
When the unit is in the Standby mode, the switch is
surrounded by amber lighting. When the unit is on,
the lighting around the button is blue.
2 Surround Mode Group Selector: Press this but-
ton to select the top-level group of surround modes.
Each press of the button will select one of the sur-
round mode categories. Once the button is pressed so
that the name of the desired surround mode category
appears in the on-screen display and in the Lower
Display Line $, press the Surround Mode
Selector 3 to cycle through the individual modes
available. For example, press this button to select
Dolby modes, and then press the Surround Mode
Selector 3 to choose from the various mode
options.
3 Surround Mode Selector: Press this button
to select from among the available surround mode
options for the surround mode category selected.
The specific modes will vary based on the number of
speakers available, the surround mode category and
whether the input source is digital or analog. For
example, press the Surround Mode Group Selector
2 to select a category such as Dolby or Logic 7,
and then press this button to see the specific mode
choices that are available. For more information on
mode selection, see page 35.
4 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/MONO mode,
each tap of the selector 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 Lower
Display Line $ and in the on-screen display. When
the tuner is in the AUTO/STEREO mode,
press the button once, and the tuner will scan for a
station with acceptable signal strength. When the next
higher- or lower-frequency station with a strong-
enough signal is tuned, the frequency scan will stop
and the Lower Display Line $ and the on-screen
display will indicate AUTO TUNED. When an FM
Stereo station is tuned, the display will read AUTO
ST TUNED. See page 39 for more information
on using the tuner.
6 FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS
5 Tuner Band Selector: Pressing this button will
switch to the Tuner mode. Pressing it again will switch
between the AM and FM frequency bands. (See page
39 for more information on the tuner.)
6 Preset Stations Selector: Press this button to
scroll up or down through the list of stations that have
been entered into the preset memory. (See page 39
for more information on tuner programming.)
7 Input Source Selector: Press this button to
change the input by scrolling up or down through the

8 Tuner Mode Selector: Press this button to select
Auto or Manual tuning. When the button is pressed so
that AUTO/STEREO appears in the Upper
Display Line #, the tuner will search for the next
station with an acceptable signal when the Tuning
Selector 5wé is pressed. When the button
is pressed so that MANUAL/MONO appears
in the Upper Display Line #, each press of the
Tuning Selector 5wé will increase the fre-
quency. (See page 39 for more information on using
the tuner.) This button may also be used to switch
between Stereo and Mono modes for FM radio recep-
tion. When weak reception is encountered, select the
MANUAL/MONO tuning mode. Press and hold
again to switch back to AUTO/STEREO
mode. (See page 39 for more information on using

9 Front-Panel Control Door: To open the door so
that the front-panel jacks and controls behind this door
may be accessed, gently push the door down and
toward you, using either lower corner of the door.
) Volume Control: Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease the
volume. If the AVR 7300 is muted, adjusting the vol-
ume control will automatically release the unit from the
silenced condition.
! Input Indicators: One of these indicators will light
to identify the currently selected input. Note that the
entire list will light briefly each time the unit is turned
on, as a test.
@ Speaker/Channel Input Indicators: These indi-
cators are multipurpose, indicating both the speaker
type selected for each channel and the number of
audio channels available. The speaker indicators light
as a single outline around the speaker position indica-
tor when a "small" speaker is selected and as a larger
icon with three connected boxes when "large" speak-
ers are selected. When only the speaker position let-
ters appear, no speaker has been assigned to that
position. (See page 26 for more information on con-
figuring speakers.) The letters inside each box also
indicate the active input channels. For standard analog
inputs, only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo
input. For a digital source, the indicators will light to
display the channels being received at the digital input.
When the letters flash, the digital input has been inter-
rupted and an UNLOCK message may appear in
the Lower Display Line $. (See page 38 for more
information on the Channel Indicators.)
# Upper Display Line: Depending on the unit's
status, a variety of messages will appear here. In
normal operation, this line will show the current input
source and identify whether an analog or digital input
is in use. When the tuner is selected as the input, this
line will identify the station as AM or FM and show the
frequency and preset number, if any.
$ Lower Display Line: Depending on the unit's
status, a variety of messages will appear here. In nor-
mal operation, the current surround mode will appear
on this line.
% Surround Mode Indicators: One of these
indicators will light to show the surround mode in
use. Depending on the specific combination of input
sources and surround mode selected, more than
one indicator may light. (See page 35 for more
information.)
^ Remote Sensor Window: The sensor behind
this window receives infrared signals from the remote
control. Aim the remote at this area and do not block
or cover it unless an external remote sensor is
installed.
