mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for

a specific mode, select that mode and then follow

the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 520 is equipped for future expansion

through the use of optional, external adapters

for formats that the AVR 520 may not be capa-

ble of processing or to allow connection to the

output of high-resolution optical audio playback

systems such as DVD-Audio or SACD. When a

device with six-channel outputs (5.1 audio) is

used, connect the source device to the

6-

Channel Direct Inputs

ª

. When a device

with eight-channel outputs (7.1) audio is used,

connect the additional Surround Back Left (SBL)

and Surround Back Right (SBR) outputs to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs

‚

on the AVR. To

select these inputs, press the

6-Channel/8-

Channel Direct Button

h

on the remote

until the desired input configuration appears in

the

Main Information Display

Y

.

Note that when the 6-Channel or 8-Channel

Direct Input is in use, you may not select a sur-

round mode, as the external decoder deter-

mines the processing in use. In addition, there

is no signal at the record outputs or bass man-

agement when the 6-Channel or 8-Channel

Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory back-

up system that preserves the system configura-

tion information and tuner presets if the unit is

accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power

outage. This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.
