Operation
Operating Your AVR
Now that you have installed your components and
completed a basic configuration, you are ready to begin
enjoying your home theater system.
Controlling the Volume
Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel
Volume knob (clockwise to increase volume or
counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing
the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote.
muting the Sound
To mute all speakers and the headphones, press the
Mute button on the remote. Any recording in progress
will not be affected. The MUTE message will appear
in the front-panel display as a reminder. To restore
the sound, press the Mute button again, or adjust the
volume.
listening Through Headphones
Plug the 1/4-inch stereo plug on a pair of headphones
into the front-panel Phones jack for private listening.
Note
• For information about turning off the speakers
during headphone listening, see page 15.
Selecting a Source
There are two different ways to select a source:
• Rotate the front-panel INPUT SELECTOR.
• Directly select any source by pressing its Source
Selector button on the remote.
The AVR selects the analog audio and video inputs
assigned to the source and any other settings you made
during setup.
The digital audio inputs are not assigned to any specific
sets of analog inputs. Once you select a source device
you can use the remote control's Audio Input Select
(DIGITAL) button to select the specific audio input
connection (HDMI, coaxial digital, optical digital, analog)
that you want to listen to. (Note: You cannot select an
audio input connection for the FM/AM or USB source
buttons.)
The source name, the selected audio input and the
surround mode will appear on the front panel.
Video Troubleshooting Tips
If there is no picture:
• Check the source selection.
• Check all connections for a loose or incorrect
connection.
• Check the video-input selection on the TV/display
device.
Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDmI
Connections
• Turn off all devices (including the TV, the AVR and
any source components).
• Unplug the HDMI cables, starting with the cable
between the AVR and the TV, and continuing with the
cables between the AVR and each source device.
• Carefully reconnect the cables from the source
devices to the AVR. Connect the cable from the AVR
to the TV last.
• Turn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source
devices.
Note
• Depending upon the particular components
involved, the complexity of the required
communication between HDMI components may
cause delays of up to a minute in the completion
of some actions, such as input switching or
switching between SD and HD channels.
Listening to FM and AM Radio
Select the AM/FM source. Use the Tuning Up/Down
buttons to tune a station, which will be shown on the
front-panel display.
For automatic tuning, press and hold the Tuning Up/
Down buttons to scan stations until a station with
acceptable signal strength is found. For manual tuning,
press each Tuning button until the desired station is
found. Using the FM Mono mode may improve the
reception of weaker stations.
Preset Stations
A total of 30 stations (AM and FM combined) may be
stored as presets. When the desired station has been
tuned in, press the Memory button and the preset
number will flash on the front-panel Message display.
Use the remote's Number buttons to enter the desired
preset number.
To tune a preset station, press the Preset Up/Down
buttons or enter the preset number using the remote's
Number buttons.
RDS
RDS(Radio Data System) is a method for sending
information signals together with the transmitter signals.
These codes contain Program Service name (PS), A list
of Program Types (PTY), Radio Text (RT).
