OPERATION
Basic Operation
Once you have completed the setup and configuration of the AVR 125, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize the enjoy- ment of your new receiver:
Turning the AVR 125 On or Off
•When using the AVR 125 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby
mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in Standby, you may
begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the AVR Selector f. Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn green. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Input Selector Buttons eg 35 on the remote or the Input Source Selector ! on the front panel.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector Buttons eg 35 to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector f to set the remote control to the AVR 125’s functions.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session, simply press the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Power Off Button a on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the
When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indi- cated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3.

The sleep time will be displayed in the Preset Number/Sleep Timer Indicator J and it will count down until the time has elapsed.
When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off. Note that the front panel display will dim to one half brightness when the Sleep
function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep Buttoni until the infor- mation display returns to normal brightness, the Sleep indicator numbers disappear and the words SLEEP 0 appear in the Main Information Display F.
When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the
NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off by using the Main Power Switch 1 for more than one week.
Source Selection
•To select a source, press any of the Source Selector Buttons eg 35 on the remote.
•The input source may also be changed by pressing the
•As the input is changed, the AVR 125 will automati- cally switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode, speaker configuration, output levels and night mode status that were entered during the configura- tion process for that source.
•The
•As the input source is changed, the new input name will momentarily appear in the Main Information Display F and a green LED will light next to the selected input’s name in the
•When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1 Outputs bk and Video Monitor Outputs ‡f. This allows you to listen to an audio input such as the tuner while watching one of the video inputs.
•When a Video source is selected, the video signal for
that input will be routed to the Video Monitor Outputs ‡f and will be viewable on a TV monitor con- nected to the AVR 125.
Volume Control
•Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the
•When listening in one of the Stereo modes with the surround circuits off, the Balance Control * may be used to adjust the relative sound output between the front left and right speakers.
•To temporarily silence all speaker outputs press the Mute Button 36 . This will interrupt the output to all speakers and the headphone jack, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress.
Press the Mute Button 36 again or adjust the vol- ume to return to normal operation.
•During a listening session you may wish to adjust the Bass Control & and Treble Control ( to suit your listening tastes or room acoustics.
•To set the output of the AVR 125 so that the output is “flat,” with the tone controls deactivated, press the Tone Mode Button 6 until the words Tone Out appear momentarily in the Main Information Display F. To return the tone controls to an active condition, press the Tone Mode Button 6 until the words Tone In momentarily appear in the Main Information Display F.
•For private listening, plug the 1/4" stereo phone
plug from a pair of stereo headphones into the front panel Headphone Jack 4. Note that when the headphone’s plug is connected, the word HEADPHONE IN will scroll once across the Main Information Display F and all speakers will be silenced. When the headphone plug is removed, the audio feed to the speakers will be restored.
