Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 100 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 Out i or
Video 1 ° in the record mode.

Output-Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output-level adjustment for the
AVR 100 is established using the Test Tone, as
outlined on page 17. In some cases, however, it
may be desirable to adjust the output 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 ˆ
31
. If you wish to vary
the difference between the left and right chan-
nels, use the Balance Control 7.
Once the reference level has been set, press
the Channel-Select button q 3 2 and note
that FRONT L LEV will appear in the
Main Information Display N. To change
the level, first press the Set button t 3 1,
and then use the Selector buttons 3 4 or the
buttons r 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 t 3 1 and then press the Selector
buttons 3 4 or the
buttons r to select
/
the next output channel location that you wish
to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the Selector buttons 3 4or the
/
r until S-WOOFER LEV appears in the
Main Information Display N.
Press the Set button t 3 1 when the name
of the desired channel appears in the Main
Information Display N, and follow the
instructions 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 twenty seconds, the
AVR 100 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 using the front-
panel buttons Ó Ô
Ò Ú or
remote control and follow the instructions in the
steps shown above.

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 100 is equipped for future expansion
through the use of optional, external adapters
for formats that the AVR 100 may not be capa-
ble of processing. When an adapter is connected
to the 6-Channel Direct Input ·, you may
select it by pressing the 6-Ch Input Selector
$ .

Note that when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in
use, you may not select a surround mode, as
the external decoder determines processing. In
addition, there is no signal at the record out-
puts when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves tuner presets and system
configuration information if the unit is acciden-
tally unplugged or subjected to a power out-
age. This memory will last for approximately
two weeks, after which time all information
must be reentered.
