17. FM MUTE/MODE
Switches the FM tuner section between Mute
On/Stereo and Mute Off/Mono operation. In normal
(FM MUTE ON) operation,during the tuning process
the tuner will mute when there is little or no signal
present, giving silence until a station with a
reasonably strong signal is found. Pressing FM
MUTE/MODE will switch off the mute function so that
very weak stations can be located. FM MUTE OFF
also switches off the FM stereo function.
When a stereo FM signal is being received, your
AV 711 will automatically switch to Stereo FM opera-
tion, which will be shown by STEREO indicator in the
Display Panel. Weak stereo signals may have a high
level of background hiss. Switching the AV 711 to FM
MUTE OFF will switch the tuner to mono and cancel
the background noise.
The status of the FM MUTE function is shown in
the Display Panel.

SETTING UP THE SURROUND SYSTEM.
To work at its best, the output levels of the AV
711's surround facilities need to be adjusted so that
there is an even balance of sound from all the
speakers in the system. The Delay time for the
Surround speakers also needs to be correctly set for
your normal listening position.
The adjustment of speaker levels is done using the
Test and Speaker Level adjust functions on the
Remote Control.
It is important first to correctly phase all the speak-
ers in the system. Check that the positive (+)
terminals of the amplifier speaker outputs are con-
nected to the positive (+) connector on the each of
the speakers.
Before starting the set-up procedure, ensure that
the CENTER mode is set correctly for your speaker
configuration. TONE DEFEAT should be ON and the
BALANCE control set to the position normally used
for stereo sources (usually the 12 o'clock position).
