For each source device you connected to a digital audio input:
a)
use the remote's up and down arrow buttons to select "Source." use the left
and right arrow buttons to change the listed source to one of the sources you
connected to a digital audio input connector.
b)
use the remote's down arrow button to select "Audio In."

Additional Input Setup Menu Items
You can also adjust the following settings independently for each source:
Title: You may change the display name for any source (except the radio). this feature
may help you to select the correct source device even when you have forgotten which
physical connections you used.
1.
Move the cursor to the title line and press the ok button. A block cursor will blink.
2.
use the up/down buttons to scroll through the alphabet in upper and lower case,
the numbers and many punctuation marks. when you have selected the desired
character, press the right button to move to the next space. press the right button
twice to leave a blank space.
3.
press the ok button when you have finished.
Auto Poll: the Auto poll feature is used when both an analogue audio and a digital
audio connection have been made for one source device. If no digital signal is available,
the AVr will automatically switch to the analogue input for the source. this situation
can occur with some cable or satellite television broadcasts, where some channels are
broadcast with digital audio and others with analogue audio, or when a dVd player is
paused or stopped.
For some sources such as dVd players, the Auto poll feature is unnecessary and may be
undesirable. to turn Auto poll off, move the cursor to the Auto poll line and press the left/
right buttons until off appears. with Auto poll turned off, the AVr will check for a signal
only at the audio input assigned to the source.
the remaining Input Setup menu items adjust the AVr's audio performance for that
source and may be skipped at this time. For most listening, we recommend leaving
these settings at their factory defaults, allowing you to enjoy the sound mix created by
your favourite movie and music artists.
BXR: enhances bass performance when playing Mp3 tracks. Select on, or leave it at the
default off setting for non-Mp3 audio sources.
Tone: this setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active. when this
line is set to off, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the sound.
when this line is set to on, the bass and treble frequencies are boosted or cut, depending
upon the bass and treble settings (see below).
Bass and Treble: boost or cut the low or high frequencies by up to 10db by using the
left/right buttons to change the setting by 2db at a time.
when you're finished, press the remote's oSd button to turn off the on-screen menu.

Operating Your AVR
now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you
are ready to begin enjoying your home theatre 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. the volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (db)
below the 0db reference point.
0db is the maximum recommended volume for your AVr. Although it's possible to turn
the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For
certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0db may be too high, allowing for damage
to equipment. use caution with regard to volume levels.
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. the default headphone bypass mode delivers a conventional
two-channel signal to the headphones. press the Surround Modes button on the front
panel or use the remote and oSd to switch to hArMAn headphone virtual surround
processing, which emulates a 5.1-channel speaker system. no other surround modes
are available for the headphones.
Selecting a Source
there are two different ways to select a source:
•
press the front-panel Source Select buttons.
•
directly select any source by pressing its Source Selector button on the remote.
the AVr selects the audio and video inputs assigned to the source and any other
settings you made during setup.
the source name, the audio and video inputs assigned to the source, 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.
