MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
t Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner
is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a sta-
tion’s frequency. After pressing the button, simply
press the proper Numeric Keys
r to select a sta-
tion. (See page 28 for more information on the tuner.)
u Tuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these
buttons will tune up or down through the selected fre-
quency band. If the Tuner Mode Button
s& has
been pressed so that AUTO appears in the on-
screen display and Lower Display Line ¯ , pressing
and holding either of the buttons for three seconds will
cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable
signal strength for quality reception. When
MANUAL
appears in the Lower Display Line ¯ , pressing these
buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See
page 28 for more information.)
v OSD Button: Press this button to activate the
On-Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or
adjust the AVR 230’s parameters.
w Dolby Mode Selector: This button is used to
select from among the available Dolby Surround pro-
cessing modes. Each press of this button will select
one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes or Dolby 3
Stereo. When a Dolby Digital-encoded source is in use,
the Dolby Digital mode may also be selected. (See
page 26 for the available Dolby surround mode
options.)
x DTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTS-
encoded digital source is selected, each press of this
button will scroll through the available DTS modes. The
specific choice of modes will vary according to whether
or not the source material contains DTS-ES 6.1
Discrete encoding. When a DTS source is not in use,
this button has no function. (See page 26 for the avail-
able DTS Digital options.)
y Logic 7 Mode Select Button: Press this button
to select from among the available Logic 7 surround
modes. (See page 26 for the available Logic 7
options.)
z Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not
have a direct function with the AVR 230, but when
used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD
changer they will change to the previous disc in the
changer or carousel.
` Transport Controls: These buttons do not have
any functions for the AVR 230, but they may be
programmed for the forward/reverse play operation
of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or
video cassette recorders. (See page 36 for more
information.)
Stereo Mode Select Button: When the button
is pressed so that DSP SURR OFF appears in
the Lower Display Line ¯, the AVR will operate in
a bypass mode with true, fully analog, two-channel
left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or
bass management, as opposed to other modes where
digital processing is used. When the button is pressed
so that
SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower
Display Line ¯, you may enjoy a two-channel pre-
sentation of the sound along with the benefits of bass
management. Depending on whether your system is
configured for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 channels, the next press
of the button will cause either
5 CH STEREO or
7 CH STEREO to appear, and the stereo signal
will be routed to all five (or seven) speakers. (See
page 26 for more information on stereo playback
modes.)
DTS Neo:6 Mode Select: Press this button to
select a DTS Neo:6 mode. These modes take a two-
channel stereo- or matrix surround-encoded source
and create a full five-, six- or seven-channel sound
field. (See page 26 for the DTS Neo:6 options.)
Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or
recall a “Macro”, which is a preprogrammed sequence
of commands stored in the remote. (See page 32 for
more information on storing and recalling macros.)
Disc Skip Button: This button has no direct
function for the AVR 230 but is most often used to
change to the next disc in a CD or DVD player when
the remote is programmed for that type of device.
(See page 36 for more information on using the
remote with products other than the AVR 230.)
Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use,
press these buttons to scroll through the stations
programmed into the AVR 230’s memory. When
some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and
cassette decks, are selected using the device Input
Selectors
e, these buttons may function as
Chapter Step or Track Advance.
Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect
entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio
station’s frequency.
Memory Button: Press this button to enter a
radio station into the AVR 230’s preset memory. First,
tune the desired station, and then press this button.
Two underline indicators will flash at the right side of
the Upper Display Line
˜, and within five seconds
press the Numeric Keys r for the preset number
between 01 and 30 that you wish to assign to the
station. (See page 28 for more information.)
Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin
the process for setting the delay times used by the
AVR 230 when processing surround sound. After
pressing this button, the delay times are entered by
pressing the Set Button
p and then using the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons n to change the setting. Press the
Set Button p again to complete the process.
(See page 20 for more information.)
Speaker Select: Press this button to begin
the process of configuring the AVR 230’s bass man-
agement system for use with the type of speakers
used in your system. Once the button has been
pressed, use the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons n to select the
channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button
p and then select another channel to configure.
When all adjustments have been completed, press
the Set Button
p twice to exit the settings and
return to normal operation. (See page 18 for more
information.)
Spare Button: This button has no direct function
for the AVR 230.
Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise
or lower the system volume.
TV/Video Selector: This button does not have a
direct function on the AVR 230, but when used with a
compatible VCR, DVD or satellite receiver, pressing this
button will switch between the output of the device
and the external video input.
SPL Selector: This button activates the
AVR 230’s EzSet function to quickly and accurately
calibrate the AVR 230’s output levels. Press and hold
the button for three seconds and then release it. Press
the “5” or “7” Numeric Key
r to indicate whether
you are using a 5.1-channel or a 6.1/7.1-channel
speaker system with the AVR 230. The test tone will
begin circulating, and the Program/SPL Indicator
c will change colors. During this sequence, EzSet
will automatically adjust the output levels for all chan-
nels until they are equal, as shown by the Program/
SPL Indicator
c lighting green for each channel.
Press this button again when the adjustment is com-
plete to turn off the test tone. (See page 21 for more
information on EzSet.)
6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input: Press
this button to select the device connected to the
6/8-Channel Direct Inputs j. (See page 24 for
more information.)
Mute: Press this button to momentarily silence
the AVR 230 or TV set being controlled, depending on
which device has been selected. When the AVR 230
remote is being programmed to operate another device,
this button is pressed with the Input Selector Button
e to begin the programming process. (See page
32 for more information on programming the remote.)
EzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor micro-
phone for the EzSet microphone is behind these slots.
When using the remote to calibrate speaker output
levels using EzSet, be sure that you do not hold the
remote in a way that covers these slots. (See page 21
for more information on using EzSet.)
