are fed from. Analog signals are not converted to digi-
tal, and their format (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS)
may not be changed.
• Selection of the front-panel jacks as outputs will
remain effective as long as the AVR 645 is on.
Once the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to
their normal use as inputs when the unit is turned
on again.
The REC OUT line enables you to select what
the audio output is at the analog record outputs for
the input source being configured. Press the

Navigation Buttons
following if you wish to change the default setting:
• ANALOG selects an unprocessed pass-through
of an analog source and is the default setting for
most inputs.
• DSP DOWNMIX selects a two-channel down-
mix of a multichannel digital input.
• In a few rare cases, a video display may not be able
to accept 480i video input signals over the HDMI
connection. When this occurs you will see a mes-
sage alerting you to turn off the HDMI connection
between the AVR and your video display. You may
do that by pressing the Set Button pœ
to accept the suggested setting of OFF while the
message is shown, or you may turn the HDMI

The IN VIDEO FORMAT line is an informa-

tional display of the resolution of the incoming video
stream, and may not be adjusted.
The IN VIDEO COPY PROT line is an
informational display that shows whether or not an
incoming video signal contains copy protection
encoding, and may not be adjusted.
The VIDEO PROCESS line is an
informational display of the setting made in the
IN/OUT SETUP menu indicating how
incoming video is processed for the input being
viewed, and may not be adjusted.
The COMPONENT OUT line is an informational
display of whether or not the Composite Video outputs
are ENABLED or OFF, based on the input sig-
nal type and resolution, and whether or not the incom-
ing video signal has HDCP content protection. It may
not be adjusted.
The S-VIDEO OUT line is an informational dis-
play of whether or not the S-video outputs are avail-
able at a 480i resolution (or OFF), based on the
input signal type and resolution and whether or not the
incoming video signal has HDCP content protection.
It may not be adjusted.
The DISPLAY INTER line allows you to
choose between an ANALOG video output default
value and an HDMI/DVI output by pressing the

desired selection. When the setting is ANALOG,
the HDMI output is placed in a Standby mode so that
it automatically switches to HDMI when an HDMI signal
is detected. If a high-definition input source is not
HDCP-content-protected, it may be output through the
component jacks; otherwise, it will be sent only to the
HDMI outputs. The HDMI/DVI setting routes all
converted or processed video to the HDMI outputs.
The HDMI AUDIO OUT line allows you to
choose whether a two-channel downmix of the audio
that accompanies the selected source is sent over

The first line controls whether or not the bass/treble
