INITIAL SETUP

The remaining lines in the Input Setup menu activate the tone controls, and may be skipped at this time. We recommend leaving the tone controls 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 matter of personal preference, see the Tone Controls section on page 34 for more information.

You are now ready to begin enjoying your new receiver!

Figure 54 – DMP Setting Menu Screen

MODE: The first line of the DMP SETTING menu allows you to select whether the iPod will be used to listen to music (or other audio materials), or view videos or still images, if you have a video or photo iPod.

REPEAT: Set REPEAT to ONE, ALL or OFF to repeat one track, all tracks in an album or playlist, or not to repeat any tracks.

SHUFFLE: Set SHUFFLE to SONGS to play all songs on the iPod in random order. The ALBUMS setting plays all albums in random order, with each album’s tracks played in album order.

RESUME: Set RESUME to ON to resume playback of a track from the point where it was interrupted by turning off the AVR, switching sources on the AVR, or removing the iPod from The Bridge. Set RESUME to OFF if you wish to restart play from the beginning of the track after interruptions.

NOTE: The Resume setting disables the Remember Playback Position setting that you may set for audio and video files using later versions of iTunes. Resume affects all files on the iPod until you manually change the setting either in the DMP SETTING menu or by using iTunes.

CHARGE IN ST-BY: Your iPod battery may be charged while it is docked in The Bridge with the AVR turned on. Set CHARGE IN ST-BY to ON to enable charging even when the AVR is in Standby mode (but not com- pletely off). When CHARGE IN ST-BY is set to OFF, the iPod will charge only when the AVR is turned on.

NOTE: To access the DMP SETTING menu, press the AVR Selector on the remote so that it operates the AVR 147. You may then press the OSD Button and use the Navigation and Set Buttons, as usual, with the on-screen menu system. When you are ready to return to operation of your iPod using the remote, remember to press the DMP/The Bridge Selector so that the transport and other controls operate The Bridge.

To simplify use, you may wish to program two macros on your remote, one to select the AVR and issue the commands within the OSD system to display the DMP SETTING menu, and a sec- ond macro to remove the menu from the display and return the remote to operation of The Bridge. See the Macros section of the Advanced Functions section of this manual for more information on programming macros.
