when turned on. This feature avoids discomfort for listeners in case the last user turned the volume very high.
Press the OSD Button to remove the display from the screen so that you may adjust the volume to a desired level while a source is playing. Make a note of the number that appears in the display, and return to the System Setup menu. At the Default Volume Set line, select the desired volume setting, and activate the feature by setting Volume Default to ON.
NOTE: Although volume is normally displayed in 0.5dB increments, the default volume setting only allows whole numbers.

Default Surround Mode: This setting determines how the AVR 247 will handle Dolby Digital and DTS sources. For the purposes of this setting, the “default surround mode” means the mode encoded in the program, such as Dolby Digital 5.1. With this setting ON, the receiver will always use the default surround mode encoded in the program. When this setting is changed to OFF, the receiver will use the surround mode you selected the last time this type of audio stream was detected.
Dolby Digital 2.0 signals default to the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode, but you may select another Dolby surround mode manually. For PCM and analog sources, the factory default surround mode is Logic 7 Music. In general, the receiver will use the surround mode selected the last time that type of signal was received.

Advanced Remote Control Functions
The AVR 247 remote control not only operates the AVR 247, but it also serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to operate many other home theater components, as described in the Installation section. Each time you select one of your other components, the AVR remote switches to the control functions for that component. Since many but- tons have unique functions for each component, refer to the Function List in the Appendix for assistance in operating your other components. The function of each button will not necessarily correspond to the label printed on the button.
Punch-Through Programming

NOTE: It is not necessary to program the remote to control your DVD player’s transport controls while the AVR, VID2 or VID3 devices are in use, as the remote is preprogrammed at the factory with this function.
To program punch-through control while operating any device:
1.Press and hold the Input Selector (or AVR selector) for the main device the remote will be operating until the Program LED flashes and the remote enters Program mode.
2.Select the type of
a)To program volume control
b)To program channel control
c)To program transport control
3.Press the Input Selector (or AVR selector) for the device whose volume, channel or transport controls you would like to be active while operating the device you selected in the first step. The LED will flash green to confirm the programming.
For example, if you wish to watch your TV (programmed into the Video 3 Button) while changing channels using your cable box (Video 2), first press the Video 3 Button until the Program LED flashes. Then press the Volume Down Button, followed by the Video 2 Button.
