Advanced FeaturesOperation

To adjust the output levels using program materi-

al, first select the surround mode for which you

want to trim the speakers (see NOTE below), start

your program material source and set the

reference volume for the front left and front right

channels using the Volume Control

)

Once the reference level has been set, press the

Channel Select button

and note that

FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Main

Information Display

. To change the level,

first press the Set button

, and then use

the Selector buttons

or the ⁄/¤buttons

to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the

volume control, as this will alter the reference

setting.

Once the change has been made, press the Set

button

and then press the Selector but-

tons

or the ⁄/¤buttons

to select the

next output channel location that you wish to

adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the

Selector buttons

or the ⁄/¤buttons

until WOOFER LEVEL appears in the Main

Information Display

or on-screen display

(only available if the subwoofer is turned on).

Press the Set button

when the name of

the desired channel appears in the Main

Information Display

and on-screen display,

and follow the instructions shown above to

adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-

nels requiring adjustment have been set. When

all adjustments have been made and no further

adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR

will return to normal operation.

The channel output may also be adjusted using

the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set the

volume to a comfortable listening level using the

Volume Control

)

. Then, press the OSD

button

to bring up the MASTER MENU

(Figure 1). Press the

Button

three times

until the on-screen ›cursor is next to the

MANUAL ADJUST line. Press the Set Button

to activate the MANUAL ADJUST and

use the ⁄/¤

to scroll to the CHANNEL

ADJUST line. Press the Set Button

to dis-

play the CHANNEL ADJUST submenu.

Figure 10

When the menu appears, the internal test tone

will be turned off. This will allow you to use your

external test disc or other source material as the

test signal. Then, use the ⁄/¤Buttons

select the channels to be adjusted. At each

channel position use the ‹/›Buttons

E

to change the output level.

Remember, when you are using a disc with test

signal (e.g. pink noise) or an external signal

generator as the source, the goal is to have the

output level at each channel be equal when

heard at the listening position, with any surround

mode selected. When your test source is a normal

disc with music signals, you may adjust the level

for each channel and surround mode as you pre-

fer, e.g. you may lower the center channel level

when you find it to be too high or increase the

level of the rears when you find it to be too low

with specific surround modes.

If you wish to reset all the levels to their original

factory default of 0dB offset, press the ⁄/¤

Buttons

so that the on-screen cursor is next

to the CHANNEL RESET line and press the

‹/›Buttons

E

so that the word ON is

highlighted. After the levels are reset, resume the

procedure outlined above to reset the levels to

the desired settings. When all adjustments are

done, press the ⁄/¤Buttons

to move the

on-screen ➞cursor so that it is next to BACK

TO MASTER MENU and then press the Set

Button

if you wish to go back to the main

menu to make other adjustments. If you have no

other adjustments to make, press the OSD

Button

to exit the menu system.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately

trimmed for each digital and analog surround mode.

If you wish to have different trim levels for a specific

mode, select that mode and then follow the instruc-

tions in the steps shown above.

With Stereo and Vmax modes the adjustment

procedure described above is the only way to trim

the output level, e.g. to match the Stereo or Vmax

level with other modes.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup

system that preserves tuner presets and system

configuration information if the unit is turned off

completely, accidentally unplugged or subjected

to a power outage. This memory will last for

approximately two weeks, after which time all

information must be reentered.

The AVR 140 is equipped with a number of ad-

vanced features that add extra flexibility to the

unit’s operation.While it is not necessary to use

these features to operate the unit, they provide

additional options that you may wish to use.

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and

indicators remain on at full brightness, although

you may also dim them or turn them off as

shown on page 34. As an additional option, you

may also set the AVR so that the displays are on

whenever a button is pressed on the front panel

or remote, but then fade out after a set period of

time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode,

press the OSD Button

to bring the Master

Menu to the screen. Press the ⁄/¤Navigation

Button

so that the ➞cursor is pointed to

the ADVANCED line, and press the Set

Button

to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT menu (Figure 11).

Figure 11

With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on

your video display, press the ⁄/¤Navigation

Button

so that the ➞cursor is pointed to

the VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next, press

the ‹/›Navigation Button

E

so that

the amount of time that you wish the displays to

fade out after a button is pressed is shown.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to nor-

mal operation, the displays will remain on for the

time period selected whenever a button is

pressed on the front panel or remote. After that

time they will gradually fade out, with the excep-

tion of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On

Switch

, which remains on to remind you that

the AVR is turned on. Note that if the displays

have been turned completely off using the Dim

Button, as shown on page 34, the Fade function

will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items
