Surround Mode Selector:

Press this button

to select from among the available surround mode

options for the mode group selected. The specific

modes will vary based on the number of speakers

available, the mode group and if the input source is

digital or analog. For example, press the

Surround

Mode Group Selector

7

to select a main mode

grouping such as Dolby or Logic 7, and then press

this button to see the specific mode choices available.

Note that the digital surround modes, such as Dolby

Digital and DTS, may not be accessed unless that type

of source signal is present, such as when a DVD movie

or television signal programmed in Dolby Digital or DTS

surround sound is playing. For more information on sur-

round mode selection, see pages 18 and 27.

Tuning Selector:

Press the left side of the button

to tune lower-frequency stations and the right side of

the button to tune higher-frequency stations. When the

tuner is in the Manual mode, each tap will increase or

decrease the frequency by one increment. When the

tuner receives a strong enough signal for adequate

reception,

MANUAL TUNED

will appear in the

on-screen display and the

Lower Display Line

ı

.

When the tuner is the Auto mode, press the button

once, and the tuner will scan for a station with accept-

able signal strength. When the next station with a

strong signal is tuned the scan will stop and the

on-screen display and

Lower Display Line

ı

will indicate

AUTO TUNED

. When an FM

Stereo station is tuned, the display will read

A

UTO ST TUNED

.

To switch back and forth between the Auto and

Manual tuning modes, press the

Optical 3 Digital Audio Input:

Connect the optical

digital audio output of an audio or video product to this

jack. When the input is not in use, the built-in shutter will

close to avoid dust contamination that might degrade

future performance.

(

Coaxial 3 Digital Audio Input:

This jack is used

for connection to the output of portable audio devices,

video game consoles or other products that have a

coax digital audio jack.

Ó

Video 3 Video Input Jacks:

These jacks may

be used for temporary connection to the composite or

S-video output of video games, camcorders or other

portable video products. You may make a connection

to either jack at any time, but not to both simultaneously.

Ô

Video 3 Audio Input Jacks:

These audio jacks

may be used for temporary connection to video

games or portable audio/video products such as

camcorders and portable audio players.

NOTE:

The AVR 140 is shipped with two covers that

may be installed over the front-panel input jacks when

they are not in use.



Channel Adjust Selector:


begin the process of trimming the channel output lev-

els using an external audio source. (For more informa-

tion on output level trim adjustment, see page 23.)

Ò

Volume Control:

Turn this knob clockwise to

increase the volume, counterclockwise to decrease

the volume. If the AVR 140 is muted, adjusting the

Volume Control

Ò

±

will automatically release the

unit from the silenced condition.

Ú

Input Indicators:

The current selected source will

appear as one of these indicators. Note that when the

unit is turned on, the entire list of available modes will

light briefly, and then revert to normal operation with

only the active mode indicator illuminated.

NOTE:

When

/DMP has been selected as

the input source, no

Input Indicator

Ú

will light.

DMP/THEBRIDGEISCONNECTED

will scroll across the

Upper Display Line

Ù

, unless

you have retitled the source name, in which case only

that name will appear. See page 17 for more informa-

tion on input titling.

Û

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators:

These indi-

cators are multipurpose, indicating both the speaker

type selected for each channel and the incoming data-

signal configuration. The left, center, right, right surround

and left surround speaker indicators are composed of

three boxes, while the subwoofer is a single box. The

center box lights when a “small” speaker is selected,

and the two outer boxes light when “large” speakers are

selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the center,

surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been

assigned that position. (See page 20 for more informa-

tion on configuring speakers.)

The letters inside each box display the active input

channels. For standard analog sources, only the L and R

will light, indicating a stereo input. For a digital source,

the indicators will light to display the channels being

received at the digital input. When the letters flash, the

digital input has been interrupted. (See page 31 for

more information on the Channel Indicators.)

Ù

Upper Display Line:

Depending on the unit’s sta-

tus, a variety of messages will appear here. In normal

operation, this line will show current input source and

which analog or digital input is in use. When the tuner is

the input, this line will identify the station as AM or FM

and show the frequency and preset number, if any.

ı

Lower Display Line:

Depending on the unit’s sta-

tus, a variety of messages will appear here. In normal

operation, the current surround mode will show here.

ˆ

Surround Mode Indicators:

The current selected

surround mode will appear as one of these indicators.

Note that when the unit is turned on, the entire list of

available modes will light briefly, and then revert to

normal operation with only the active mode indicator

illuminated.

˜

Remote Sensor Window:

The sensor behind

this window receives infrared signals from the remote

control. Aim the remote at this area and do not block

or cover it.
