14 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS This is done using the on-screen menu system, as described in the Initial Setup section. Numeric Keys: Use these buttons to enter radio station frequencies when using the tuner (after pressing the Direct Button), or to select station presets .
15 INTRODUCTION TO HOME THEA TER The AVR 144 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.
16 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.
17 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 .
18 18 CONNECTIONS Figure 10 – Component Video If it’s available on your video display , component video is recom- mended as the best quality connection, followed by S-video and then composite video . Antennas The AVR 144 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas that provide proper reception for the tuner .
19 19 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 .
20 20 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 AVR 144, 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.
21 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 any available Coax or Optical digital audio input.
22 INST ALLA TION NOTES: 1. 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. 2. The A VR 144 does not have any digital audio outputs .
23 Ta p e The T ape source is used for audio-only recorders , such as a CDR, MiniDisc or cassette deck. Referring to T able 2, connect your recorder to the T ape Analog Audio inputs and outputs , and to any available digital audio input. See Figure 23.
24 INST ALLA TION If the remote seems to operate intermittently , or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the Input Selectors to light up , then make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly , or replace all three batteries with fresh ones .
25 Step Nine – T urn On the AVR 144 T wo steps are required the first time you turn on the A VR 144. 1. Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visible . The Power Indicator above the two power switches should light up in amber , indicating that the A VR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on.
26 Before you begin enjoying your new receiver , a few adjustments should be made to configure the AVR 144 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 .
27 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.
28 INITIAL SETUP LEFT/RIGHT : This line tells the A VR 144 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 .
29 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.
30 INITIAL SETUP If you are using a handheld SPL meter with source material, such as a test disc or another audio selection, play it now and adjust the AVR’ s master volume control until the meter measures 75dB . If you are using the AVR’ s internal test tone , then adjust the AVR’ s master volume to –15dB .
31 INITIAL SETUP Press the ‹ Button to view the next source . The sources will be selected in the following order: T ape , 6-Channel Inputs , Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, DVD and CD . Pressing the › Button selects the sources in the reverse order . For each of these sources , you may adjust the settings below .
32 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 144 Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visi- ble .
33 OPERA TION Remember that the AVR 144 is designed to reproduce audio with a minimum amount of distortion. This clarity may lead you to believe that your hearing and the equipment can handle higher volumes . We urge caution with regard to volume levels .
34 OPERA TION The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display . If you retitled the source , only the new title will appear . Otherwise , the audio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audio inputs) will also appear .
35 OPERA TION Figure 52 – 6-Channel Input Selector NOTE: The 6-Channel Inputs pass the incoming signals directly to the volume control, without digitizing or processing them.
36 OPERA TION Selecting a Surround Mode Surround mode selection can be as simple or sophisticated as your individual system and tastes . Feel free to experiment with the many available surround modes on the AVR 144, and you may find a few that become your favorites for certain sources or program types .
37 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Much of the AVR 144’ s performance is handled automatically , with little intervention required on your part. However , the AVR 144 is a sophisti- cated component, and is capable of being customized to suit your par- ticular system and your tastes .
38 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. For Dolby Digital EX materials , the incoming bitstream will be displayed as 3/2/.
