13 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS Speaker Setup: Press this button to configure speaker sizes , that is , the frequency-range capability of each speaker . Usually this is done using the on-screen menu system, as described in the Getting Started section.
14 INTRODUCTION TO HOME THEA TER The A VR 145 may be the first multichannel surround sound receiver you have owned. Although it has more connections and features than older two-channel receivers , many of the principles are similar and the new concepts are easy to understand.
15 CONNECTIONS There are different types of audio and video connections used to con- nect the receiver to the speakers and video display , and to connect the source devices to the receiver . T o make it easier to keep them all straight, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has established a color -coding standard.
16 CONNECTIONS Audio Connections There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog . Digital audio signals are of higher quality , and are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes , such as Dolby Digital and DTS .
17 CONNECTIONS S-video , or “separate” video , transmits the chrominance and luminance components using separate wires contained within a single cable .
18 Before you begin to connect cables , it is important to set up your speakers in their correct locations in the room. Optimally , the speakers should be placed in a circle with the listening position at its center . The distance from the listening position to the video display forms the radius of the circle .
19 INST ALLA TION Y ou are now ready to connect your various components to your receiver . Before beginning , make sure that all components , including the A VR 145, are turned completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t plug any of the power cords back in until you ha ve finished making all of your connections.
Video 1 Source Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks , it is best suited to a video recorder , such as your VCR or DVR. Referring to T able 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio inputs and outputs and to either the Coax 2 or Optical 2 digital audio input (and corresponding digital audio output).
21 INST ALLA TION STEPS NOTE: It isn’t possible to make recordings using component video connections . Keep this in mind as you connect other source devices that you may wish to make recordings from. Video 2 Source The Video 2 source is used only for playback, never recording .
Figure 24 – T ape Audio Inputs and Outputs , and Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the T ape or digital audio input jacks on the A VR, and the input jacks on your recorder to the T ape or digital audio output jacks on the A VR.
23 INST ALLA TION Insert the batteries as shown in the diagram, making sure to obser ve the correct polarity . Figure 29 – Remote Battery Compartment When using the remote , remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the A VR 145. Make sure no objects , such as furniture , are blocking the remote’s path to the receiver .
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the A VR 145. However , the button may perform a very different function when used to control another device . Refer to the Remote Control Function List, T able A8 in the Appendix, for a list of each button’s functions with the various product types .
25 Before you begin enjoying your new receiver , a few adjustments should be made to configure the A VR 145 to match your actual system. Make sure that you have connected a video display to either the S- video or composite video monitor output on the receiver .
26 INITIAL SETUP The frequency response for your subwoofer will usually cover only the very lowest frequencies , since the subwoofer is only designed to play bass materials . A typical frequency response for a subwoofer is 25Hz – 150Hz. In this case , the higher number is most important and should be noted in the worksheet.
27 INITIAL SETUP LEFT/RIGHT : This line tells the AVR 145 the capabilities of your front left and right speakers . Use the ‹ / › Buttons to select either SMALL or LARGE for these speakers . CENTER: Move the cursor to the line for the center speaker , and use the ‹ / › Buttons to select a setting for this speaker .
28 INITIAL SETUP The LFE line sets the frequency for a low-pass filter that determines what information is sent to the subwoofer for playback. Since the sub- woofer output combines low-frequency infor.
29 INITIAL SETUP The receiver will generate a loud test tone , which sounds like static . In fact, it’s a tone that simultaneously uses all frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz.
30 INITIAL SETUP you to select the correct source device even when you have forgotten which physical connections you used. Move the cursor down to the TITLE line and press the Set Button.
31 OPERA TION Now that you have installed your system components and completed at least a basic configuration of your receiver , you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system. T urning On the AVR 145 Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visi- ble .
32 OPERA TION Remember that the A VR 145 is designed to reproduce audio with a minimum amount of distortion. This clarity may lead you to think that your hearing and the equipment can handle higher volumes . W e urge caution with regard to volume levels .
33 OPERA TION INDEPENDENT , the A VR 145 will change the speaker size configuration to the one you programmed for the source . If you selected a surround mode for the source , the A VR 145 will switch to that mode . The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display .
34 OPERA TION Radio stations may be selected in one of four ways: 1. If you know the frequency number , enter it directly by first pressing the Direct Button on the remote , and then using the Numeric Keys .
35 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS This table summarizes the controls available when The Bridge is in use . T able 4 – Using The Bridge NOTE: For the Search function, press and hold the indicated but- ton. Pressing the Previous T rack Button once skips to the beginning of the current track.
36 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Much of the A VR 145’s performance is handled automatically , with little intervention required on your part. However , the AVR 145 is a sophisti- cated component, and is capable of being customized to suit your par- ticular system and your tastes .
37 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS NOTE: The 6.1-channel signals – Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES Matrix and Discrete – each include a flag meant to signal the receiver to decode the surround back channel. Since the A VR 145 is only capable of processing and playing 5.
38 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS T able 5 – Surround Modes Surround Mode Description Incoming Bitstream or Signal Dolby Digital Provides up to five separate main audio channels and a dedicated • Dolby Digital 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, low-frequency effects (LFE) channel.
39 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Surround Mode Description Incoming Bitstream or Signal Dolby Pro Logic II Analog decoder that derives five full-range , discrete main audio channels See below . from matrix surround-encoded or 2-channel analog sources . Four variants are available .
40 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Surround Mode Description Incoming Bitstream or Signal DTS Neo:6 DTS Neo:6 analog processing is available with DTS-ES (Matrix or Discrete) See below signals and 2-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3- or 5-channel presentation.
41 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Setting Channel Output Levels Manually For a conventional 2-channel receiver , the balance control enables the user to control the stereo imaging by adjusting the relative loudness of the left and right channels , as heard at the listening position.
42 If you are using an external source to set your output levels , simply navi- gate to each channel and use the ⁄ / ¤ Buttons to adjust the level as desired. If you would like to set your levels using the A VR 145’s internal test tone , you will need to adjust the TEST TONE SEQ and TEST TONE lines as follows .
43 OSD BACKGROUND: This setting allows you to choose between a blue or black background for the full-OSD menus . NOTE: It isn’t possible to view video sources while the full-OSD menus are displayed. Dim Function Some people find the front-panel messages to be distracting and would prefer to dim them or turn them off altogether .
44 It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a macro . However , you may erase the macro as follows: 1. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute Button and the Macro Button containing the macro until the LED flashes . 2. Press the Surround Button to erase the macro .
