AV Direct setting

The AV Direct mode allows the receiver to pass audio/
video signals arriving at one of the AV connector inputs
to the other AV connector outputs without the sound
being routed to the speakers. (See also

The AV Direct

mode

on page 9.) In AV Direct mode, the current input is

shown (at reduced brightness) in the front panel display.

The AV Direct setting determines whether the receiver
switches to AV Direct mode automatically, or only when
you switch it manually.

AVD MANU

– Allows you to switch between standby

and AV Direct mode using the

AV DIRECT

button on

the remote control.

AVD AUTO

– Automatically switches to AV Direct

mode when an incoming signal is sensed by the
receiver in standby.

Auto input select setting

Specifies how the receiver responds when it senses that
a component connected to one of the SCART AV
connectors is switched on.

SEL MANU

– You must select the receiver’s input

manually using the front panel

INPUT SELECTOR

, or

the input buttons on the remote control.

SEL AUTO

– When a component connected to one of

the SCART AV connectors (except the TV) is switched
on, the receiver automatically switches to that input.

• When set to

AVD AUTO

, if a connected component

is switched on, you cannot switch this receiver into
standby (

INPUT ON

appears in the display).

• You can’t use the sleep timer when the AV Direct

setting is

AVD AUTO

(see also

Using the sleep timer

on page 29).

• AV Direct does not work when EON is on (see also

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

on page 28).

Setting individual channel levels

Use to set the relative volume of each channel as you find
necessary for balanced surround sound. You can set up
individual channel levels for each listening mode.

1

Use the AUTO, STEREO, SOUND MODE,

SURROUND or ADVANCED SURROUND button to
select a listening mode to set up channel levels for.

2

Use MASTER VOLUME to adjust the volume to an

appropriate level.

3

Press TEST TONE to output the test tone.

The test tone is output in the following order (from
speakers that are switched on and are appropriate for
the current listening mode):

L

– Front left

C

– Center

R

– Front right

RS

– Right surround

LS

– Left surround

SW

– Subwoofer

4

Use the LEVEL +/– buttons to adjust speaker

levels so that you hear the test tone at the same
volume from each speaker when seated in your
main listening position.

• The channel level range is ± 10 dB.

5

Press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

• Since the subwoofer transmits an ultra-low

frequency its sound may seem quieter than it
actually is. Be careful not to turn up your subwoofer
too much and check the volume with an actual
source.

• The subwoofer volume is best controlled with the

volume control on the subwoofer unit itself.

• The speaker volume can be adjusted without

outputting the test tone by pressing

CH SELECT

then

using the

LEVEL +/–

buttons.

• The level setting mode is automatically exited after 5

seconds of inactivity.

• The default setting is

0 dB

for all channels.
