weak will change to monaural reception. (See page 28 for more information.)

tDirect Button: When the tuner is in use, press this button to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a sta- tion. (See page 28 for more information on the tuner.)

uTuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected fre- quency band. If the Tuner Mode Button s@ has been pressed so that the Auto Indicator R is illumi- nated, pressing either of the buttons will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When the Auto Indicator R is NOT illuminated, pressing these buttons will tune sta- tions in single-step increments. (See page 28 for more information.)

vOSD Button: Press this button to activate the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 225’s parameters.

wMacro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a “Macro”, which is a preprogrammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 33 for more information on storing and recalling macros.)

xTransport Controls: These buttons do not have any functions with the AVR 225 but they may be pro- grammed for the forward/reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video cassette recorders. (See page 34 for more information on programming the Transport Control Punch-Through capability of the remote.)

ySkip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons have no direct function with the AVR 225, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD changer they will change the track or chapter of the disc currently being played in the changer.

zDisc Skip Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 225, but when used with a com- patibly programmed CD or DVD changer, it will change the disc currently being played in the changer. (See page 33 for more information on using the remote with other devices.)

`Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 225’s memory. When some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and cassette decks, are selected using the device Input Selectors e, these buttons may function as Chapter Step or Track Advance.

28Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station’s frequency.

29Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR 225’s preset memory. Once the Memory Indicator O flashes, you have five seconds to enter a preset memory location using the Numeric Keys r. (See page 28 for more information.)

30Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR 225 when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set Button o and then using the ⁄/¤ Buttons mq to change the setting. Press the Set Button o again to complete the process. (See page 18 for more information.)

31› Button: Press this button to change a setting or selection when configuring many of the AVR 225’s settings.

32Speaker Select: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 225’s bass manage- ment system for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons mq to select the chan- nel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button o and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button o twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 20 for more information.)

33Spare Button: This button does not have any function for the operation of the AVR 225, but it is available for use when programmed with the code from another remote. (See page 32 for information on programming the remote with codes for other devices.)

34Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise or lower the system volume. See page 34 for more information on programming the Volume Punch- Through capability of the remote, which allows you to change the AVR 225’s volume while the remote is set to control another device.

35TV/Video Selector: This button does not have a direct function on the AVR 225, but when used with a compatibly programmed VCR, DVD or satellite receiver that has a “TV/Video” function, pressing this button will switch between the output of the player or receiver and the external video input to that player. Consult the owner’s manual for your specific player or receiver for the details of how it implements this function.

36SPL Button: This button activates the AVR 225’s EzSet function to quickly and accurately calibrate the AVR 225’s output levels. Press and hold the button for three seconds and then release it. The Test Tone will begin circulating, and the Program/SPL Indicator c will change colors. During this sequence, EzSet will automatically adjust the output levels for all channels until they have equal output levels, as shown by the Program/SPL Indicator c lighting green for each channel. (See page 21 for more information on EzSet.)

376-Channel Direct Input: Press this button to select the component connected to the 6-Channel Direct Inputs i as the source.

38Mute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 225 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected. When the AVR 225 is muted, press this button or use the Volume Control

Ó34 to return to the previous volume level.

When the AVR 225 remote is being programmed to operate another device, or when a macro command is being programmed, this button is pressed with the Input Selector Button e to begin the program- ming process. (See page 33 for more information.)

39EzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor micro- phone for the EzSet microphone is behind these slots. When using the remote to calibrate speaker output levels using EzSet, be sure that you do not hold the remote in a way that covers these slots. (See page 21 for more information on using EzSet.)
