OPERATION

Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front-left and front- right channels using the Volume Control Ó 33 .

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select Button and note that FL LEVEL will appear in the Main Information Display F. To change the level, first press the Set Button , and then use the Selector Buttons

5or the / ¤ Buttons mq to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the volume control, as this will alter the reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press the Set Button and then press the Selector Buttons 5 or the /¤ Buttons mq to select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the Selector Buttons 5 or the /¤ Buttons mq until SW LEVEL appears in the Main Information Display F.

Press the Set Button when the name of the desired channel appears in the Main Information Display F, and follow the instructions shown earlier to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust- ments have been made and no further adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR 125 will return to normal operation.

NOTES:

The output levels may be separately trimmed for each digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to have dif- ferent trim levels for a specific mode, select that mode and then follow the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

In Stereo-Digital (Surround Off) mode, only the

front-left, front-right and subwoofer channels may be trimmed. It is not possible to trim the output levels in Stereo-Direct mode, since that mode bypasses the digital circuitry used for output-level trimming.

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 225 is equipped for future expansion through the use of optional, external adapters for formats that the AVR 225 may not be capable of processing. When an adapter is connected to the

6-Channel Direct Inputs e, you may select it by pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input Selector 35 . The 6-Channel Direct input may also be selected by pressing the Input Source Selector Button ! on the front panel until 6 CH DIRECT appears in the Main Information Display F, and a green LED lights next to 6 CH in the Input Indicators .

When the 6-Channel Direct input is in use, you may not select a surround mode, as the external decoder determines processing. In addition, there is no signal at the record outputs when the 6-Channel Direct input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves the system configuration information and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately one week, after which time all information must be reentered.

Display Brightness

The AVR 125’s Main Information Display 25 is set at a default brightness that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room. However, in some home theater installations, you may wish to occasionally lower the brightness of the display or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness, press and hold the Set Button Ô on the front panel for three seconds until the message in the Main Information Display

Freads VFD FULL. Within five seconds, press the Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel until the desired display brightness level is shown. At that point, press the Set Button Ô again to enter the setting.

When FULL appears in the Main Information Display F, the display is at its normal brightness. When HALF appears, the display is at half the nor- mal brightness level. When OFF appears, all of the indicators in the Main Information Display F will go dark. Note, however, that the green LEDs for the Input Indicators 22 and the Surround Mode

Indicators 29 , as well as the Power Indicator 3 will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR 125 is still turned on.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will remain in effect until it is changed again or until the unit is turned off.
