MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons n to change the delay amount. (See page 30 for more information on delay options.)

aSpeaker Select Button: Press this button to begin the process of manually configuring the AVR 445’s bass management system. Then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons n to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button p and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button p twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 28 for more information on manual speaker setup.)

bMemory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station in the AVR 445’s preset memory. First, tune the desired station, and then press this button. Within 5 seconds of when you see the station’s frequency flash in the Upper Display Line # and in the on-screen display, press the numeric keys for the preset number between 01 and 30 that you wish to assign to the station. (See page 39 for more information on the tuner, and see page 40 for infor- mation on storing XM channel numbers in the preset memory.)

cNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a 10- button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, Cable or SAT has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed. These buttons are also used to enter letters and num- bers when renaming devices in the LCD Information Display. (See page 53 for more information on renam- ing devices and keys.)

dStereo Mode Select Button: Press this button to select a stereo listening mode. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower Display Line $, the AVR will operate in a bypass mode with true, fully analog, two-channel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or bass management, as opposed to other modes where digital processing is used. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower Display Line $, and both the DSP and Surround Off Surround Mode Indicators % are lit, you will enjoy a two-channel presentation of the sound, along with the benefits of bass management. Depending on whether your system is configured for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 channels, the next press of the button will cause either 5 CH STEREO or 7 CH STEREO to appear, and the stereo signal will be routed to all five (or seven) speakers. (See page 58 for more informa- tion on stereo playback modes.)

eDTS Neo:6 Mode Select Button: Press this button to select a DTS Neo:6 mode. (See page 58 for the available DTS Neo:6 options.)

fDTS Digital Mode Select Button: When a DTS-encoded digital source is playing, each press of this button will scroll through the available DTS modes. The specific choice of modes will vary according to the type of encoding on the disc and your system’s speaker configuration. When a DTS source is not in use, this button has no function. (See page 58 for the available DTS digital options.)

gDolby Mode Select Button: This button is used to select from the available Dolby Surround modes. Each press of this button selects a Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Dolby Virtual Speaker mode, as available for the number of speakers in your system. When a Dolby Digital-encoded source is in use, the Dolby Digital mode may also be selected. (See page 58 for the available Dolby surround mode options.)

h6-Channel/8-Channel Input Select: Press this button to select the device connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs c.

iMute Button: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 445 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected.

jLens: The infrared emitters behind the plastic lens at the top of the remote communicate the remote codes to the AVR 445. Be certain that the lens is not covered when using the remote, and point the lens toward the AVR for best results. In learning mode, the remote receives IR codes to be learned through a sensor behind the lens.

NOTE: DO NOT remove the rubber plug that covers the jack on the upper right side of the remote. The jack is not active and is reserved for future use.
