REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

HDMI 2 and 3: Each code set controls a source device (VCR/PVR, DVD player or cable/satellite set-top box) connected to one of these inputs.

AUX: Controls a device connected to the Auxiliary Input.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these functions. For example, the Sleep Button is labeled for use as the Channel Up Button when controlling a television or cable box. See Table A10 in the appendix for listings of the different functions for each type of component.

IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted through this lens.

Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR or another device. The Main Power Switch must first have been switched on.

Mute Button: Press to mute the AVR 160’s speaker and headphone outputs. To end the muting, press this button, adjust the volume, or turn off the receiver.

Program Indicator: This LED lights up or flashes in one of three colors as the remote is programmed with codes.

Power Off Button: Press to turn off the AVR 160 or another device.

AVR Selector: Press to switch the remote to AVR device mode.

AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the tuner as the source, or to switch between the AM and FM bands.

6-/8-Channel Input Selector: Press this button to select the

6-/8-Channel Inputs as the audio source. If a signal is present at the component video inputs assigned to this source, it will be used. If not, the receiver will use the video input and remote control codes for the last- selected analog video source.

Test Tone: Press this button to activate the test tone for manual output- level calibration.

TV/Video: This button has no effect on the receiver, but is used to switch video inputs on some video source components.

Sleep Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes.

On-Screen Display (OSD): Press this button to activate the on-screen menu system.

Channel Level: Press this button to adjust the output levels for any channel so that all speakers sound equally loud at the listening position.

Speaker Setup: Press this button to configure speaker sizes, that is, the low-frequency capability of each speaker.

Navigation (KLM N) and OK Buttons: These buttons are used to make selections within the on-screen menu system, or when accessing the functions of the four buttons surrounding this area of the remote – Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input or Delay.

Digital Input Select: Press this button to select the specific digital audio input (or analog audio input) to which the current source is connected.

Delay: Press this button to set delay times that compensate for placing the speakers at different distances from the listening position, or to resolve a “lip sync” issue that may be caused by digital video processing.

NOTE: The Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input Select and Delay functions may also be adjusted using the OSD on-screen menus. In addition, the EzSet/EQ system may be used to adjust the Channel Level, Speaker Setup and Delay settings automatically.

Numeric Keys: Use these buttons to enter radio station frequencies or to select station presets. Press the Direct Button before entering the station frequency.

Tuning Mode: This button toggles between manual (one frequency step at a time) and automatic (seeks frequencies with acceptable signal strength) tuning mode. It also toggles between stereo and mono modes when an FM station is tuned.

Memory: After you have tuned a particular radio station, press this button, then the Numeric Keys, to save that station as a radio preset.

Tuning: Press these buttons to tune a radio station. Depending on whether the tuning mode has been set to manual or automatic, each press will either change one frequency step at a time, or seek the next frequency with acceptable signal strength.
