Operation
Press the OK button A when the name of the desired channel appears in the Main Information Display F and on-screen display, and follow the instructions shown above to adjust the level.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made press the OK button A twice, the AVR will return to normal operation.
NOTE: The output levels may be separately trimmed for each digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for a specific mode, select that mode and then follow the instructions in the steps shown above.
Changing the levels by the trim adjustment as described above will automatically change the level settings shown during the Output Level Adjustment (see page 22) correspondingly (and vice versa) and will remain in the AVR´s memory system, even when the unit is turned off. With Stereo modes the adjustment procedure described above is the only way to trim the out- put level.
6-Channel Direct Input
The AVR is equipped for future expansion through the use of optional, external adapters for formats that the AVR may not be capable of processing. When an adapter is connected to the 6-Channel Direct Input , you may select it by pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input Selector
. The 6-Channel Direct Input may also be selected by pressing the Input Source Selector button A on the front panel until the words
6 CH DIRECT appear in the Main Information Display F, and a blue LED lights next to 6 CH in the Input Indicators J.
Note that 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.
Display Brightness
The AVR’s front panel Main Information Display F is set at a default brightness level 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.
You can also adjust the Display Brightness by pressing the Dim Button L on the remote control. Note that the blue lighting inside the volume control and the Power Indicator 2 will remain lit at normal brightness to remind you that the unit is still turned on.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is turned off completely, accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately 1 week, after which time all information must be reentered.
Tuner Operation
The AVR’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations and receiving RDS data. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite station presets and recalled from a 30 position memory.
Station Selection
1.Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button
on the remote to select the tuner as an input. The tuner may be selected from the front panel by either pressing the Input Source Selector A until the tuner is active or by pressing the Tuner Band Selector 8 at any time.
2. | Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button | or |
Tuner Band Selector 8 again to switch | |
between AM and FM so that the desired | |
frequency band is selected. | | |
3. | Press the Tuner Mode button | on the | |
remote or hold the Band Selector 8 on the front panel pressed for 3 seconds to select manual or automatic tuning.
When the button is pressed so that AUTO appears in the Main Information Display F each press of the Tuning Selectors 7 will put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the next higher or lower frequency station with acceptable 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 appears in the Main Information Display F each tap of the Selector will increased or decrease the frequency by one increment. When the tuner receives a strong enough signal for adequate reception, MANAUL TUNED will appear in the Main Information Display F.
4. Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing
the Direct button , and then pressing the
Numeric Keys that correspond to the station’s frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned after the latest number is entered. If you press an incorrect button while entering a direct frequency, press the Clear button D to start over.
NOTE: When the FM reception of a stereo station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the Tuner
Mode button on the remote or holding the Band Selector 8 on the front panel so that MANUAL appears momentarily in the Main Information Display F and then goes out.
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR’s memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:
1.Press the Memory button C on the remote. Note that two underscore lines will appear in the Main Information Display F.
2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys
corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the preset number will appear in the Main Information Display F.
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
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 9E on the front panel or remote.
