15 15 INTRODUCTION TO HOME THEA TER The A VR 154 may be the first multichannel surround sound receiver you have owned. Although it has more connections and features than 2-channel receivers , many of the principles are similar and the new con- cepts are easy to understand.
16 16 CONNECTIONS There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect 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 17 CONNECTIONS Audio Connections There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog . Digital audio signals are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes , such as Dolby Digital and DTS . The A VR 154 uses two types of digital audio connections: coaxial and optical.
18 18 CONNECTIONS The A VR 154 will not convert analog video signals to the HDMI format, and the on-screen displays are not visible when using an HDMI source . Connect the composite or S-video monitor output (or both, depending on which video connections your sources use) to your video display to view the on-screen menus .
19 19 Before you begin to connect cables , it is important to place 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 .
Y ou are now ready to connect your various components to your receiver . Before beginning , turn off all components , including the A VR 154, and unplug their power cords . Don’t plug any of the power cords back in until you have finished making all of your connections.
21 INST ALLA TION Video Connections: (choose only one , and make sure that type is available on your TV) • HDMI • S-video • Component video • Composite video NOTES: • Digital audio , HDMI and component video connections are not dedicated to any source input.
22 INST ALLA TION Figure 21 – Connecting a Component-Video-Equipped Disc Player If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs , including DVD-Audio , SACD , HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc , make t.
23 INST ALLA TION • Connect the recorder’s optical digital audio output to the Optical 2 Input on the A VR (if available). • Then go to “Composite/S-Video” below to make recordings , as the A VR 154 cannot make recordings from copy-protected component video sources or digital audio (except 2-channel) sources .
24 INST ALLA TION Composite/ S-Video: If the best video connection common to both the set-top box and the TV is either S-video or composite video , follow these steps (see Figure 28): • Connect the set-top’s S-video or composite video output (use one connection only) to the corresponding Video 2 Input on the A VR.
25 INST ALLA TION Figure 32 – Connecting a Device to the Front-Panel Inputs Audio Components: Connect audio-only devices , such as CD players , to either the Coaxial 3 or Optical 3 Digital Audio Inputs , or the Video 3 Analog Audio Inputs (see Figure 32).
26 INST ALLA TION Figure 36 – Remote Control Battery Compartment When using the remote , remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the A VR 154. Make sure no objects , such as fur niture , are blocking the remote’s path to the receiver .
27 INST ALLA TION the Remote Control Function List, T able A9 in the Appendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types . Y ou may program Macros , which are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press .
28 INITIAL SETUP Before you begin enjoying your new receiver , a few adjustments should be made to configure the A VR 154 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 .
With proper bass management, the A VR 154 divides the source signal at a crossover point. All information above the crossover point is played through the satellite speaker (front left/right, center or surround left/right), and all infor mation below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer .
30 INITIAL SETUP LEFT/RIGHT : This line tells the AVR 154 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 .
31 INITIAL SETUP Setting the Speaker Crossover menu correctly ensures that your speakers sound their best. Although you could skip this step the first time you use the receiver , we recommend that you take the few extra minutes to enter the correct crossover settings .
32 INITIAL SETUP sound equally loud at the listening position is a critical step in the setup process . Sit in the listening position, and eliminate exter nal noises for the few minutes needed to calibrate the output levels .
33 INITIAL SETUP NOTE: Setting the channel levels while one surround mode is active does not carry over to other modes . After you have set the levels satisfactorily in one mode , note the results and change to other surround modes .
34 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 154 Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visible .
35 OPERA TION If you wish to return the tone controls to 0, or “flat” response , press the ⁄ / ¤ Buttons , until the TONE OUT message appears , which preserves any changes you have made to the bass or treble settings for later use . T o reactivate your changes , the tone control must again be set to TONE IN .
36 OPERA TION The COMPONENT IN line of the Input Setup menu indicates which of the two component video inputs on the A VR 154 is assigned to each source .
37 OPERA TION 3. Press the T uner Input Selector (marked AM/FM) on the remote . Press this button again to switch bands . Figure 58 – T uner Input Selection Radio stations may be selected in one of four ways (see Figure 59): 1.
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 A VR 154, and you may find a few that become your favorites for certain sources or program types .
Much of the A VR 154’s performance is handled automatically , with little intervention required on your part. However , the A VR 154 is a sophisticated component, and is capable of being customized to suit your particular system and your tastes . In this section we describe some of the more advanced adjustments available on the A VR 154.
40 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 154 is only capable of processing and playing 5.
Figure 65 – Dolby Surround Menu Screen CENTER WIDTH: This setting affects how vocals sound through the three front speakers . A higher number (up to 7) focuses the vocal information tightly on the center channel. Lower numbers broaden the vocal soundstage across the three speakers .

The VFD F ADE TIME OUT feature also causes the display to light up only when a button is pressed or a change in the incoming signal is detected, but the display immediately begins to fade to dark.
45 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS For example , if you wish to watch your TV (programmed into the Video 3 Button) while changing channels using your cable box (Video 2), first press and hold the Video 3 Button until the LED flashes . Then press the V olume Down Button, followed by the Video 2 Button.
