INITIAL SETUP

you to select the correct source device even when you have forgotten which physical connections you used.

Move the cursor down to the TITLE line and press the Set Button. A block cursor will blink.

The remaining lines in the Input Setup menu activate the tone controls, and may be skipped at this time. We recommend leaving the tone con- trols at their factory defaults for most listening, in order to enjoy the sound mix created by your favorite movie and music artists. However, if your room or speakers have unusual characteristics, or simply as a mat- ter of personal preference, see the Tone Controls section on page 32 for more information.

You are now ready to begin enjoying your new receiver!

Now you may use the /¤ Buttons to scroll through the alphabet in upper and lower case, as well as numbers and a variety of punctuation marks. When you have selected the desired character, press the Button to move to the next space. You may also press the Button to leave a blank. Press the Set Button when you have finished spelling out the new display name for the source.

COMPONENT IN: If you connected the source to one of the two compo- nent video inputs, make sure the correct set of inputs is displayed at this line. If it isn’t, move the cursor to this line, and then press the Button to change the setting.

AUDIO IN: By default, the analog audio inputs are assigned to all sources at the factory other than the DVD and Video 2 sources, which default to Coax 1 and Optical 1, respectively. If you used a digital audio connection for the source, you will need to change this setting to assign the correct digital audio input to the source, even if you also connected the analog audio outputs of the source to the receiver. Move the cursor to this line, and press the /Buttons until the correct digital input appears.

AUTO POLL: The Auto Poll feature is used when both an analog audio and digital audio connection have been made for one source device. If for some reason no digital signal is available, the AVR 145 will switch to the analog inputs for the source. This situation can occur with some cable or satellite television broadcasts, where some channels are broad- cast with digital audio and others with analog audio.

For some sources, the Auto Poll feature is unnecessary and may be undesirable. For example, if your DVD player is stopped, you may not want to use the analog audio signal or you may have decided not to connect analog audio. Move the cursor to this line, and press the /Buttons until OFF appears, disabling the Auto Poll feature. With Auto Poll turned off, the receiver will only check for a signal at the audio input assigned to the source.
