Once the input source, speaker and
antenna connections have been made,
and the system has been configured, the

front panel and the remote control, while
others appear on one or the other, but not
both.

Volume Control
The AVR75's volume is controlled using
either the front panel
or the

remote.
If the volume control is set too high,
or any of
a speaker overload may activate the
unit's protective circuitry. This will cut
the output to the speakers and change
the LED surrounding the power switch
to a red color. To clear the problem, turn
the unit off for a few seconds, and lower
the volume before turning it back on. If
the problem re-occurs, turn the unit off
and consult your dealer or an authorized
service center for advice.

Depending on the speed with which the

Surround Mode Selection
One of the most important features of
the AVR75 is its ability to reproduce a full
multichannel surround soundfield from
Dolby Digital sources, analog matrix
surround encoded programs, and stan-
dard stereo programs. In all a total of
seven listening modes are available.
Selection of a surround mode is based
on personal taste, as well as the type of
program source material being used.

the logo of one of the major surround
encoding processes, such as Dolby
