Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 110 is
sent to the record outputs. This means that any
program you are watching or listening to may
be recorded simply by placing machines con-
nected to the outputs for Tape Outputs ™ or
Video 1 or 2 Outputs ∞bfi in the
record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to
the Digital Audio Outputs ª, you are able
to record the digital signal using a CD-R,
MiniDisc or other digital recording system.
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a
digital signal is present, and they do not
convert an analog input to a digital signal,
or change the format of the digital signal.
In addition, the digital recorder must be
compatible with the output signal. For
26 OPERATION
example, the PCM digital input from a CD
player may be recorded on a CD-R or
MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals
may not.

any copyright restrictions on any material you
copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted
materials is prohibited by federal law.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR 110 is established using the test tone, as
outlined on pages 22 and 23. In some cases,
however, it may be desirable to adjust the out-
put levels using program material such as a test
disc, or a selection you are familiar with.
Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer
can only be adjusted using this procedure.
To adjust the output levels using program
material, first set the reference volume for the
front-left and front-right channels using the
Volume Control Ó
Once the reference level has been set, press
the Channel Select button l Ù and note
that FRONT L LEV will appear in the
Main Information Display W. To change
the level, first press the Set button oÔ ,
and then use the Selector buttons 5 or the
buttons mq 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 oÔ and then press the Selector
buttons 5 or the
select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level,
press the Selector buttons 5 or the
buttons mq until SW LEV appears in the
Main Information Display W.
Press the Set button oÔ when the name of
the desired channel appears in the Main
Information Display W follow the instruc-
tions shown earlier 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 110 will return to normal operation.
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 instructions in the steps shown earlier.

Display Brightness

The AVR 110's Main Information Display
Û is set at a default brightness level that is
sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room.
However, in some home-theater installations,
you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-
ness of the display, or turn it off completely.
To change the display brightness, press and
hold the Set button Ô on the front for three
seconds until the message in the Main
Information Display W reads VFD
FULL. Within five seconds, press the front
panel Selector buttons 5 until the desired
brightness display level is shown. At that point,
press the Set button Ô again to enter the
setting.
