POWER, SPEAKERS AND HEADPHONE
FUNCTIONS.
1. POWER
Press this button to switch the unit on. To switch
the unit off, press this button again.
2. SPEAKERS
The SPEAKERS button turns the speakers con-
nected to the FRONT, CENTER and REAR
SPEAKERS terminals on or off. When the speakers
are turned on, the SPEAKERS indicator lights up.
3.STANDBY
The green standby indicator shows that power is
being supplied to the AV 711, but the system is cur-
rently off. Pressing the STANDBY switch turns the
unit on and the display panel will indicate AV 711's
current settings.
Pressing the STANDBY switch again will turn the
AV 711 back into Standby mode. In Standby, the AV
711 stores the current input and mode settings in a
non-volatile memory and re-selects these modes
when it is next switched on. The AV 711 also uses
the non-volatile memory to store pre-set information,
both for the tuner and for the Dolby Pro Logic set-up,
so that this information is not lost when the unit is
switched off or disconnected from AC supply. Note
that the information is stored for only two weeks when
the unit is switched off or disconnected from the AC
supply.During normal operation the standby indicator
lights to show when a signal is being received from
the Remote Control.
CAUTION: When in standby, power is still supplied
to the AV 711. Switch off or disconnect the AV 711
from the AC outlet when it is not being used for long
periods of time.
4. HEADPHONE SOCKET
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone
listening. The socket has its own amplifier which will
drive conventional headphones of any impedance. It
takes its signal from the front left and right channels
and works on all inputs, although any surround mode
will be heard as two channel stereo. The volume and
tone and balance controls are operative for head-
phone listening. Use a suitable adapter to connect
headphones with other types of connectors such as
3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo' jack plugs.
WARNING: Listening at high levels can damage
your hearing.

FUNCTIONS
5. VOLUME

6. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The AV 711 is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone
controls to adjust the overall tonality of your system.
The 12 o'clock position is 'flat' with no boost or cut
and a detent indicates this position. Rotate the
control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass
or Treble. Rotate the control anti-clockwise to
decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. These
controls affect the Left and Right front speakers
only. In Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo or Hall
modes, the Center and Surround speakers maintain a
'flat' response, regardless of the tone control settings.
The Tone controls do not affect recordings made
using the Tape or Video line outputs.
7. BALANCE
The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of
the Left and Right front speakers. The 12 o'clock
position provides equal level to the Left and Right
channels. A detent indicates this position.
Rotating the control clockwise moves the balance
towards the right. Rotating the control anti-clockwise
moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE control
does not affect recordings made using the Tape or
VCR line outputs.
8. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone
control section of the AV 711. If the Tone Controls are
not normally used and left in the 12 o'clock position,
then it is advisable to switch out the Tone Control
section altogether by using this switch. In the 'out'
position, the Tone Control circuits are active, pushing
the TONE DEFEAT switch in bypasses the Tone
Control section. The Display Panel indicates when
Tone Defeat is on.
