OPERATION
Radio stations may be selected in one of four ways:
1. If you know the frequency number, enter it directly by first pressing
the Direct Button on the remote, and then using the Numeric Keys.
2. After you have programmed Preset stations (see below), either enter
the Preset number (1 through 30) using the remote or use the front-
panel Preset Stations Button to scroll through the list of presets.
3. In Auto tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons (front-
panel or remote) the AVR 145 will scan in the chosen direction until a
station with acceptable signal strength is detected. Press the Tuning
Button again to stop scanning.
4. In Manual tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons the
AVR 145 will tune the next frequency increment (0.1MHz for FM, or
10kHz for AM) in the selected direction. Press and hold the Tuning
Button for faster scanning.
Figure 57 – Tuning a Station
Press the Tuning Mode Button (TUN-M on the remote) to switch
between Auto and Manual tuning modes. When an FM station has been
tuned, pressing the Tuning Mode Button will switch between stereo and
mono tuning, which may improve reception of weaker stations.

To store a station in one of the 30 presets:
1. Tune the desired station.

Recording

Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite
and S-video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording
outputs. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to con-
nect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as
described in the Installation section, insert blank media and make sure
the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

NOTES:
1. Analog audio signals are not converted to digital form, and
digital audio signals are not converted to analog audio form.
However, you may record a coaxial or optical digital audio
source using either type of digital audio output.
2. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording.
Proprietary formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS may not
be recorded using the digital audio connections, although if
the source is connected to the AVR using the analog audio
connections, an analog recording may be made.
3. Component video sources are not available for recording.
4. Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright
restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplica-
tion of copyrighted materials is prohibited by federal law.
Bridge

Using

The
TM
The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod
(not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on
the AVR 145 and the iPod is docked, you may play the audio materials
on your iPod through your high-quality audio system, operate the iPod
using the AVR remote or the AVR's front-panel controls, view navigation
messages on the AVR's front panel or a connected video display, and
charge the iPod.
Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the mes-
sage "DMP/The Bridge is CONNECTED" scrolls across the front panel
and semi-OSD displays, or press the DMP Button on the remote to
select The Bridge as the input source.
