OPERATION
AM and FM so that the desired frequency band is selected.
3.Press the Tuning Mode Selector 8 l to select manual or automatic tuning.
When the button is pressed so that AUTO/ STEREO appears in the Upper Display Line
#, each press of the Tuning Selectors 4w will put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the next higher or lower frequency station with accept- able signal strength. An AUTO ST TUNED indication will momentarily appear when the station stops at a stereo FM station, and an AUTO TUNED indication will momentarily appear when an AM or monaural FM station is tuned. Press the Tuning buttons again to scan to the next receivable station.
When the button is pressed so that MANUAL/ MONO appears in the Upper Display Line #, each tap of the Selector will increase or decrease the frequency by one increment. When the tuner receives a strong enough signal for adequate reception, MANUAL TUNED will appear in the Lower Display Line $.
4.Stations may also be tuned directly in either the automatic or manual mode. To enter a station’s fre- quency directly, first select the AM or FM band as desired be pressing the AM/FM Tuner Select Button 5 34 . Next, press the Direct Button i. Within five seconds of when DIRECT IN scrolls in the Upper Display Line #, enter the station frequency by pressing the Numeric Keys k. If you press an incorrect button while entering a direct frequency, press the Clear Button j to start over.
NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the Tuning Mode Button 8l so that MANUAL/MONO appears momentarily in the Upper Display Line # and then goes out. This will also activate manual tuning mode.
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR 430’s memory for easy recall using the front- panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the sta- tion using the steps outlined above. Then:
1.Press the Memory Button 39 on the remote; the station’s frequency will flash.
2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys k corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the
preset number will appear in the Upper Display Line #.
3.Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations
•To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys k that correspond to the desired station’s memory location.
•To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset Stations Selector Buttons 6v on the front panel or remote.
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR 430 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Outputs 35 or Video 1/Video 2 Audio and Video Outputs ‡· 38 41 in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs ik, you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.
NOTES:
•The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig- nal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 430 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 26 – 28. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. 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 )rî.
If you are using a disc with test signals or an external signal generator as the source used when the output levels are being trimmed, you may use the remote as an SPL meter to guide you to the correct level set- tings. To use the EzSet remote as an SPL meter, follow the instructions on page 27.
Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select Button n and FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Lower Display Line $. To change the level, first press the Set Button
q, and then use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the vol- ume control, as this will alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press the Set Button q and then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to select the next output-channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until WOOFER LEVEL appears in the Lower Display Line $ or on-screen display.
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 430 will return to normal operation.
The channel output for any input may also be adjusted using the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set the volume to a comfortable listening level using the Volume Control )rî. Then, press the OSD
Button to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). Press the ¤ Navigation Button o until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set Button q to activate the CHANNEL ADJUST menu.
Once the menu appears on your video screen, first use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to move the on-screen ➔ cursor so that it is next to the TEST TONE line. Press the ‹/› Navigation Button o so that OFF is highlighted. This will turn off the test tone and allow you to use your external test disc or other source material as the reference. Then, use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to select the chan- nels to be adjusted. At each channel position, use the
‹/› Navigation Button o to change the output level. Remember, the goal is to have the output level at each channel be equal when heard at the listening position.
If you wish to reset all the levels to their original factory default of 0dB offset, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so that the on-screen cursor is next to the CHANNEL RESET line and press the ‹/› Navigation Button o so that the word ON is
