Press the
Figure 59 – Source List Button
For direct access to any source, press its Source Selector on the remote.
The AVR 354 will switch to the audio and video inputs assigned to the source.
The source name will appear in the upper line of the
Any other settings you adjusted in the Setup Source menu will also be selected. You may view these settings in the Source Info menu at any time by pressing the Info Settings Button.
VIDEO TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
If a video source is playing and there is no picture:
•Check that you have selected the source to which the video input was assigned.
•Check the wires for a loose or incorrect connection.
•Check that you have selected the correct video input on the display device (TV).
•Try pressing the Resolution Button on the front panel repeat- edly until the correct video output resolution is selected and a picture appears. You will be prompted to accept or cancel the resolution change, as the CANCEL message will appear on the front panel. Press the ¤ Button to view the ACCEPT option, and then press the OK Button to complete the change to the output resolution.
OPERATION
Additional Tips for Systems Using HDMI:
•Turn off all devices (including the TV, AVR and any source components).
•Unplug the HDMI cables starting with the cable between the TV and AVR, and continuing with the cables between the AVR and each source device.
•Carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR, and connect the cable from the AVR to the TV last.
•Turn on the devices in this order: TV, then AVR, then source devices.
Using the Tuner
To select the AVR 354’s built-in tuner:
1.Press the Source List Button on the front panel repeatedly until the desired tuner band is selected, or use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to scroll through the source list.
2.Press the Radio Source Selector on the remote. Press this button again to switch bands (AM, FM or XM).
A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 60 will appear, with the band indicated in the middle of the screen. (The XM band uses a slightly different screen.)
Figure 60 – FM Radio
Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to tune a station (or channel for XM Radio). The frequencies will be displayed in the front panel and graphically on screen.
The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the
⁄/¤ Buttons scans through all frequencies until a station with accept- able signal strength is found. To switch to manual tuning, in which each press of the ⁄/¤ Buttons steps through a single frequency increment (0.1MHz for FM, or 10kHz for AM), press the Menu Button. The Radio Modes line will be highlighted, and each press of the OK Button toggles between automatic and manual tuning modes.
When an FM station has been tuned, toggling the radio mode switches between stereo and monaural play, which may improve reception of weaker stations.
A total of 30 stations (AM and FM together) may be stored as presets. When the desired station has been tuned, press the OK Button, and two dashes will flash in the
