Headphones

To use headphones with the unit, plug the headphones

into the

phonES

socket in the centre of the front panel.

When headphones are plugged into the front panel

phonES

socket, the outputs for Zone 1 are muted and

the audio will be down-mixed to two channels (2.0). The

two-channel down-mix is required so that the centre

channel and surround information can be heard via the

headphones.

Using Zone 2 and 3

Zone 2 provides the option for the occupants of the

master bedroom, conservatory, kitchen, etc. to view or

listen to a different source at a different volume level

from the main zone (Zone 1).
Zone 3 (AVR600/AV888 only) provides for a third living

space to have a copy of the audio signal in Zone 2 at a

different volume level.

Extended front panel menu

Pressing the

MEnu

key and holding it for longer than

four seconds will bring up the Extended Menu, allowing

you to perform the following:

This option allows you to restore all settings on your

AVR500/AVR600/AV888 to the defaults that it left

the factory with. Note that this also erases any secure

backups stored on the unit.

Store secure backup

This option allows you to restore from and store to a

PIN-protected copy of your settings. The default PIN is

1234.

Change remote code

The default RC5 system code the unit responds to is

16. If required, for example due to another device in

your system also using this RC5 system code, it can be

changed to 19.

found here.

Updating firmware using a PC
