7 Surround Mode Selector: Press this but-
ton to change the surround mode by scrolling
through the list of available modes. Note that
depending on the type of input, some modes
are not always available. (See page 26 for more
information about surround modes.)
8 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 a station with a strong signal
is reached, the TUNED indicator W will be
illuminated in the Main Information
Display Û .
To tune manually, tap the button lightly and
note that the tuner will step up one frequency
increment per button press. When the button is
held for a few seconds you will note that the
unit will quickly search the frequency band.
Release it once the fast tuning starts; the tuner
will automatically scan for the next station with
an acceptable signal and then stop.
9 Tuner Band Selector: Pressing this button
will automatically switch the AVR 310 to the
Tuner mode. Pressing it again will switch
between the AM and FM frequency bands. (See
page 29 for more information on the tuner.)

pressed so that the AUTO Indicator X is not lit,
each press of the Tuning Selector 8ué
will increase the frequency. (See page 29 for
more information on using the tuner.)
# Digital Optical 3 Input: Connect the opti-
cal digital output of an audio or video product to
this jack. When the Input is not in use, be certain
to keep the plastic cap installed to avoid dust
contamination that might degrade future
performance.
$ Digital Coax 3 Status Indicator: This LED
indicator will normally light green to show that
the Digital Coax 3 jack is operating as an input.
When the jack has been configured as an output
the indicator will turn red to show that the jack
may be used for recording. (See page 19 for
more information on configuring the Digital
Coax 3 jack.)
% Digital Coax 3 Jack: This jack is normally
used for connection to the output of portable
audio devices, video game consoles or other
products that have a coax digital jack. It may
also be configured as an output jack, to feed a
digital signal to a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digi-
tal recording device. (See page 30 for informa-
tion on configuring the Digital Coax 3 Jack to
an output.)
^ Video 4 Input Jacks: These audio/video
jacks may be used for temporary connection to
video games or portable audio/video products
such as camcorders and portable audio players.
& Bass Control: Turn this control to modify
the low frequency output of the left/right chan-
nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a
suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.
