Auto Poll: The Auto Poll feature is used when both an analog audio and a digital audio connection have been made for one source device. If no digital signal is available, the AVR will automatically switch to the analog input for the source. This situation can occur with some cable or satellite television broadcasts, where some channels are broadcast with digital audio and others with analog audio, or when a DVD player is paused or stopped. For some sources such as DVD players, the Auto Poll feature is unnecessary and may be undesirable. To turn Auto Poll off, move the cursor to the Auto Poll line and press the Left/ Right buttons until Off appears. With Auto Poll turned off, the AVR will check for a signal only at the audio input assigned to the source. The remaining Input Setup menu items adjust the AVR's audio performance for that source and may be skipped at this time. For most listening, we recommend leaving these settings at their factory defaults, allowing you to enjoy the sound mix created by your favorite movie and music artists. BXR: Enhances bass performance when playing MP3 tracks. Select On, or leave it at the default Off setting for non-MP3 audio sources. Tone: This setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active. When this line is set to Off, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the sound. When this line is set to On, the bass and treble frequencies are boosted or cut, depending upon the Bass and Treble settings (see below). Bass and Treble: Boost or cut the low or high frequencies by up to 10dB by using the Left/Right buttons to change the setting by 2dB at a time. When you're finished, press the remote's OSD button to turn off the on-screen menu. 18
