REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Tuning:

Press these buttons to tune a radio station. Depending on

whether the tuning mode has been set to Manual or Automatic, each
press will either change one frequency step at a time, or seek the next
frequency with acceptable signal strength.

Direct Station Entry/

Angle:

Press this button before using

the Numeric Keys to directly enter a radio station frequency.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button is used for the
Angle function. Press it during passages on a DVD where the director
has programmed multiple camera angles to view the alternate perspec-
tives. When a JPEG file is on-screen, each press of this button rotates
the image by 90 degrees clockwise.

Clear:

Press this Button to clear a radio station frequency you have

started to enter.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button may be used
to clear any on-screen displays from view. In addition, press and hold
it for five seconds to reset all user settings on the DVD 38 to their
factory defaults.

Preset Stations Selector:

Press these buttons to select a preset

radio station.

Tone Mode/

DVD Scan Type:

Press this button to access the tone

controls (bass and treble). Use the Navigation Buttons to make your
selections.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button adjusts the Video
Scan Type setting for the component video outputs. Each press toggles
between progressive and interlaced scanning. This button is useful if you
inadvertently set the scan type to progressive when your video display
or television is not capable of displaying progressively scanned video.
Although your video display may be distorted, you may restore interlaced
scanning by pressing this button.

Disc Skip/

Audio Mode:

This button has no effect on the AVR 146,

but is used with some optical disc changers to skip to the next disc.
When the DVD 38 is in use, this button adjusts the Bass Management
setting, which is also found in the Audio Setup menu. The Audio Mode
setting affects the configuration of the DVD 38’s 2- and 6-Channel
Analog Audio Outputs. Stop playback of the current disc to use this
selector.

Macros:

These buttons may be programmed to execute long com-

mand sequences with a single button press. They are useful for pro-
gramming the command to turn on or off all of your components, or for
accessing specialized functions for a different component than the one
you are currently operating.

Dolby

®

Surround Mode Selector:

The first press of this button

will select the last-used Dolby Surround mode, and each additional
press will cycle through the variants that are currently available. Not
all modes are available with all sources; see the AVR 146 manual for
more information.

DTS

®

Surround Mode Selector/

A-B Repeat:

The first press of

this button will select the last-used DTS Digital mode if DTS processing is
available, and each additional press will toggle between the 2.0 and 5.1
variants. See the AVR 146 manual for more information.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the A-B
Repeat function. The first press while a disc is playing selects the begin-
ning of the passage you wish to repeat, and the second press selects
the end of the passage. The selected passage will play continuously until
the A-B Button is pressed a third time, or play is stopped.

DTS Neo:6

®

Surround Mode Selector:

The first press of this

button will select the last-used DTS Neo:6 Surround mode if it is avail-
able, and each additional press will cycle through the variants that are
currently available. See the AVR 146 manual for more information.

Logic 7

®

Surround Mode Selector/

Random:

The first press

of this button will select the last-used Logic 7 Surround mode if it is
available, and each additional press will cycle through the Cinema, Music
and Enhance modes. See the AVR 146 manual for more information.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the Random
function. When a CD is playing and no playlist is active, each press of
this button turns random track selection on or off.

Night Mode/

Subtitle:

Press this button to activate Night mode

with specially encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts. Night mode
compresses the audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume
to avoid disturbing others, while dialogue remains intelligible.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button performs the Subtitle
function. Press it to select a subtitle language or to turn subtitles off.

NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, the
subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 38 may not accurately
reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is recom-
mended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.

Stereo Modes/

Repeat:

The first press of this button will select

the last-used Stereo mode, which may be Surround Off or Two-Channel
Processing. Each additional press will toggle between Surround Off,
5-Channel Stereo and 7-Channel Stereo. When an analog audio source
is in use and the AVR 146’s Tone Mode control has been set to Out,
you may also select Analog Bypass mode, which passes the analog
input signal to the volume control, bypassing digital signal processing.
See the AVR 146 manual for more information.

When the DVD player has been selected, each press of this button
cycles through the available Repeat modes, excluding A-B Repeat.

Track Skip:

These buttons have no effect on the receiver, but are

used with the DVD 38 and many other source components to change
tracks or chapters.

Dim:

Press this button to partially or fully dim the AVR 146’s front-

panel display.

Transport Controls:

These buttons have no effect on the receiver

but are used to control the DVD 38 and many other source compo-
nents. By default, when the remote is operating the receiver, these
buttons will control the DVD 38.

Record:

This button has no function on the AVR 146 or DVD 38.

It is used with many audio and video recorders.
